Pasión de Gavilanes

I think that Pasion de Gavillanes is like the only telenovela that I actually enjoyed watching, My Spanish teacher showed us the first episode in class because she wanted us to actually learn some "street Spanish", and everyday after that we would beg her to show us the rest. It was just so interesting. I think the relationship between Norma and Juan is really strong. Like I absolutely love them together.

It's so interesting to watch because the show doesn't just focus on one single point. Instead it sort of puts everything together. Like it has everyones problems instead of just one problem that is surrounded by mini episodes.

Only talking about the original 2003 telenovela. The sequel can (and should) be skipped and it's totally fine. The story is introduced and told clearly with 4 distinctive arcs that make the plot easy to follow. The characters are well defined and the latter half of the story is amazingly well told and displayed. The villains are so hateable that you end up rooting for the protagonists even when they're not that likeable, but that's also good - no need for the clichéd superhero telenovela male protagonist (even though Juan Reyes sort of is that, but he does have a personality and his character has motivations). The setting is a bit generic (which is why many people wrongly believe this telenovela to be Mexican), and it may have needed a bit more fun - but overall it's great and a true testament to its own success. Season 2 deserves a separate not too friendly review.

Eversince, i have saw the movie Passion De Amor (Philippines), i cant' help but to follow it through no matter how difficult it is to find time to watch it in the afternoon. I love the movie, i love the main characters, the Reyes brothers and sister, and Elizondo sisters.I really admired how wonderfully they played their individual roles. I also admired the romance of Juan Reyes and Norma Elizondo which brought them to test but they proved it with their child Juan David. The other characters were also admirable in doing their roles to contribute a beautiful story. When i surf in the internet, i found out that the movie was in Spanish, which is difficult for me to understand. I am hoping that someday i could a CD or DVD of it in English or Filipino. I am also made a review on Spanish because i dream that i could chat or even talk with the main characters if they could not speak in English. I also wish I Could have a posters of everyone of them.

Pasion DE Gavilanes or Pasion DE Amor as shown here in the Philippines is a very distinct and one of a kind telenovela. Though the Philippines have been exposed to all kinds of Spanish/Mexican telenovelas, this one touched my heart. Why? Well because of the following reasons: 1. The story does not revolve in one character only. Each of the love story as well as the history of the telenovela takes turn in the camera allowing viewers to see the picture as a whole and not just the love scene.

2. Each character have strong and distinct personalities that you would not get tired of watching. Many viewers could identify themselves in the characters of the telenovela.

3. The story is unique and not boring. Every episode has its unique twists and turns.

4. The chemistry among the characters are sizzling hot!! **Unfortunately, the show is shown every afternoon and I am not able to catch it everyday. I just hope that I could find a DVD copy of this with English subtitle...

If you like the comment that Venus said about this show. You can watch it again. You can watch Pasion DE Gavilanes at 1:00 pm pacific standard time in Telemundo. This show is great and you should watch it even is you don't speak Spanish fluently. I love this story very much. And I hope you all will like it because it has touched my heart and I know it is going to touch yours. This story is about three brothers who lost their beloved sister when was treat badly my her lover's family. They become angry and seek revenge. However, they did not find it but they found love. This soap opera is a remake of a 1994 soap opera called Las Aguas mansas. I have not watched that soap but hopefully it is as good as this soap.
