I was glad when it was finally over, but completely mortified that it has been renewed for a second season. Terrible plot, unlikeable characters, terrible writing, terrible, terrible! No character to root for at all, even to the very end. Also the charaters felt more driven by the plot and it's was one (cringe) thing after another. The sex, the killing, the nudity, the sex was all just for shock value.

Considering this is a Latin American/Columbian produced show it has borrowed some of the typical telenovela troupes: handsome, beautiful cast with gorgeous bodies and muscles, evil rich people, villains, blackmail, sex, secrets, poisoning, kidnapping etc, but the outcome is a bad blending of all this because it's also too cramped, and even though its not a traditional story but modern exploring online dating, it all feels forced just for ratings and shock value.

I would rather recommend a traditional telenovela that goes for 100 plus episodes; there are some that are really good, and some telenovelas are bad but entertaining, but some are just bad. But this hybrid of a show has produced an bad outcome. What some of the characters did was just to drive the plot, and the actions of the characters made no sense at all.
