Secreto de amor

This telenovela may not rank as one of the all-time greats but it was a very entertaining and relatively fast paced novela. The writing is not the greatest and the plots are not always thought out as well as they could have been. On the positive side it had some good performances by Aura Cristina Geithner as Barbara and Astrid Gruber as Vilma and also featured Carla Ortiz as the beautiful Andrea. Also this novela had the return of Ariel Lopez Padilla to telenovelas since the scandal and this was one of his best performances. On the down side the leads played by Scarlet Ortiz and Jorge Aravenna were not as exactly a compelling couple which a telenovela should have and that may be the biggest weakness of the show. Overall the show had humor in it as well and it featured some comical moments and even the villains didn't always take themselves so seriously and in this case it worked. So overall I would say it is pretty good though not great and I would give it a "B" if I were grading it and at least it could keep you entertained for an hour.
