Customer Reviews

12 hours really felt complete this time!!
I just finished watching this telenovela, abridged to 12 hours on 3 double sided discs. While on other telenovelas released one can really feel the editing, this one however really felt as if the whole story was present!

I don't know if this telenovela was on for a short period of time or there were simply lots of filler scenes that allowed themselves to be easily removed, but the whole telenovela moves seamlessly and you really see their hatred, friendship and subsequent love affair really blossom. It just doesn't happen in an instant.

Originally aired in 1988 in Mexico, this telenovela was criticized for glorifying teacher-student love affairs. Whilst I do agree, it serves for an entertaining and trashy soap. Though not my favourite of the DVD-telenovela bunch, "Dulce Desafio" was entertaining enough and certainly felt more complete than alot of the others released.

Not what I was expecting!
Though Adela Noriega is my all time favorite female protagonista (female lead) and Eduardo Yanez is one of my favorite male protagonista I did not enjoy this telenovela. It did have 3 CDs but I didn't think the plot of the novela had substance and didn't think it flowed well. Being a fan of telenovelas I know how a novela should flow and felt that this one was a bit off. For true fans I would say that it is a "nice" novela to add to your collection but it is not a "must" have.

Excellent!
This is an excellent Tv novela in all sense. The story, the acting, the editing was excellent! A must see!!! A must to add to the collection!!!
