I am a sucker for romantic historical novels. I was SO hooked to this one until Episode 12. I agree wholeheartedly with reviewer "riezzratzz". The series could have used one more episode to see the villains - and they were EVIL human beings! - get what they deserved. Yes, MORE DRAMA! Show us revenge and great death scenes!
Now, for the lead characters. Don Diego could have been a little younger. Carla was EXCELLENT! Enrique was quite the villain. Bravo! Amelia...very inconsistent. I never knew if she was joking, sad, angry. She was perfectly annoying! The rest of the "staff" were very good and played interesting bits of fluff. Dña. Mercedes was superb! Sol (whom I thought was a useless character made for the sex scenes) suddenly...died. What?? The killing of Francisco...what was this character for? The gay portions...all kind of wokeness, but bore no part of the story.
In conclusion, I wanted more depth with the love story of Diego and Clara. I wanted to see WHY Diego gave up his Dukedom. Like a final family scene. It was all rushed at the end. I wanted a beautiful wedding with Clara's friends in attendance. They all just... vanished in the final scenes.
Good series overall.
