This Mexican series really keeps you addicted from beginning to end. The actors and screenplay are really good, even if the story itself is not that believable, but well that's a TV show, not reality!
It all starts when five girls on holiday in Cancun find by chance that they have the same birthmark (very unlikely, but whatever) and are all named Juana. They do a DNA test to find out if there are related and later find out that they share a father that to have never met and who is now a high ranking politician.
The main drawback is that the cast is not very credible based on genetics. The father of the girls could pass as North Spanish, Irish or British. He has blue-green eyes. One of the girls, Juan Caridad, has dark brown eyes, even though her mother has blue eyes. If both parents have blue eyes the child can only have blue or light eyes. Juan Valentina looks Spanish or Italian, but her mother looks mestiza, which is also impossible genetically. Juana Bautista (played by Sofia Engberg) looks Egyptian, Arabic or Jewish, and couldn't be related to the others based on looks. But the worst of all is that her mother in the series is presumably a Mexican Native American (with a tiny nose), which, apart from the skin color, does not match at all her phenotype. Why would the casting people do things like this?
