When you're dealing with a seven-month long telenovela, sometimes you get so frustrated that you'll stop watching for a week or two because all of the drama is actually upsetting you. "Cosas del Amor" consisted of 150 episodes of scheming, secrets, slaps, and scandals. The Peruvian novela is the epitome of what a telenovela is: although it's rather lengthy for a telenovela (which averages 4-5 months), you're not bored for a minute with it. It's protagonists are Venezuelan Maricarmen Regueiro as Valeria (El Desprecio, Natacha, & Señora) & Peruvian Diego Bertie as Chalo (Leonela, Obsesion, Natacha, & La Noche), who have impeccable chemistry with each other. Other notable actors & actresses are Peruvians Elvira de la Puente as Mariana, Orlando Sacha as Leonardo, Katia Condos as Tina, Salvador del Solar as Lucho, Vanessa Saba as Marcela, Sonia Oquendo as Alicia, Hernan Romero as Antonio & Cubans Zully Montero as Mercedes & Orlando Fundichelly as Martin. Rating: 4.5 of 5
