Ah, screw it... I watched this telenovela about 11 years go and I liked it very much. The reason? I can't understand it. The plot is not very interesting although it deals with drug trafficking, gangs, kidnapping, some obscure references to drugs, anorexia, AIDS, and more.
It follows the story of a musical group and it's conflicts. DKDA should be viewed as a criticism of how artists live and how they are manipulated by Mexican media and the industry of records.
The telenovela came in an era where cd's were still a business, and concerts were only a support. It also shows that internet was about to break into the entertainment industry as a key element.
The situations are sometimes boring, dull, but there's a special vibe about it that makes it watchable. It just makes you watch it! Still, it's not a bad production. It has decent acting, very good direction, candy for the eye art direction and cinematography, and it sometimes looks like a movie.
The plot is well structured but maybe it wasn't what the audience of 7 p.m. expected. That audience is composed of teenagers and young adults. Maybe DKDA came out in the wrong time but it's little fan database is very loyal.
Near the last chapters, things get very interesting (mainly because of Angela's kidnapping and Nestor's death).
The ending was satisfying because it solves the main conflicts of the characters. Not in a happy ending manner but whatever.
The cast was really good. It was a mix of young talents with veteran t.v. legends such as Luis Gimeno, María Sorté, Otto Sirgo, Luis Gatica, and more. Nora Salinas, Jan, Eugenia Cuauduro, Verónica Jaspeado, Ernesto D'Alessio, Patricio Borghetti and more were very good and demonstrated their big talent.
I had a crush on Verónica Jaspeado but I had a huge lust feeling for Alessandra Rosaldo and her micro dresses and mini skirts. What a pair of legs! The musical numbers were really good and had "that" special late 90's vibe. "Polvora Mojada" was my favorite song.
This novela had a lot of potential, sadly, it didn't receive wide support amongst fans and it ended without success.
It's a piece of 90's nostalgia and the transition to the new millennium and how it looks at telenovelas.
