Songs are Good
kyyrrhbtf14 March 2022
Most of the singers are very talented. Sebastian Yatra needs to stick to regueton. His acting is atrocious and his voice does not compare to the rest of the singers. Story has its funny parts but it's all over the place. Asier is amazing as always. And the woman are very good too. The music is the thing I enjoyed most of the whole show. Not a show that all audiences will enjoy.

A mess
kigaiyuuto12 March 2022
Woke version of Galavant meets Once Upon a Time....in a Spanish-speaking region First episode is good, however the middle part (ep 3& 4) are really dull, the musical parts that's in a different place/scenes actually brought down the show not adding to it, weak choreography with classic/well-known songs Too many characters and too many back and forth and the musicals in 30 minutes episodes, my head is spinning. The best part is the CGI dragon and Diego's silly tops that show off his body The show needs to choose if it wants to be Galavant or Once Upon a Time but not both, I guess the budget didn't allow that. The castle looks small and claustrophobic.

High camp and strange
I watched much of it with either a smile on my face or my mouth agape. A fantastic fairytale told in a true Latin fashion. Hyper saturated colors and romantically staged settings. Greed, infidelity, Spanish operatic musical numbers, lots of nudes, sex and a blue dragon told with a healthy dollop of absurdity. What's not to like?

No even Yatra's nudes can help the show
marcovinicio-7492114 March 2022
The show is so bad acted and so terrible story that it seems longer that it actually is.

There are no spoilers because there was nothing happening.

The fact that they had to show the main actor naked as a bait for audiences and use Rossy de Palma as the only actress is really bad.

Not appropriate for kids
yaracast-4058213 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This story totally kills the idea of LOVE. The main characters who are meant to be together, do not In fact end up together. It has nudity, sex scenes, and so many other things that they're trying to push into our heads that are immoral. A woman who is a man's mistress, falls in love with the main character, who is a male prostitute. I would not recommend watching this with kids, it is not kid friendly. I as an adult felt very uncomfortable throughout the whole season. The main reason I finished watching it was because I was hooping they'd find their way back to each other and love again but it was a total disappointment overall.

A serie to make you smile
nkiwiie14 March 2022
I'm not one to leave reviews, but I didn't want people to be turned away by the low rating. This series is original and magical with hints of humours. It's not going to be to everyone's taste, but to those who give it a chance, they might find themselves smiling at the silliness going on and the corny (but cute) songs and story.

This Show Makes No Sense
itsmanu3214 March 2022
Really tried to enjoy this show because I love Sebastian Yatra but this show makes no sense whatsoever. It's not even a fun hate watch. It's simply bad. It's like they just threw random scenes together. I keep thinking am I confused? But no it is just that bad. No me gusts nada.

Ignore the bad reviews
sofielkin20 March 2022
This show is weird and quirky, yes. But if you can keep an open mind and ignore the bad reviews, it's really fun and light hearted. My husband hates musicals and rom-coms but loved this show! It's just so random and out there, and also has a diverse cast and great writing, the only bad thing is how short it is! Season 2 please!

Mind numbing rubbish!
qui_j17 March 2022
Could not make it past the first episode. Nothing made any sense. Simply put....it was stupid! Series like this begs the question....why are they ever allowed to see the light of day?

It's adult oriented entertainment people
jefurlan17 April 2022
Seriously .... WTF are all these English speaking/ writing reviewers thinking? Your ethnocentric, biased and ridiculous sense of what is proper is irritating (as always). The world is 7 billion people. You are just 360 million plus .. more of us out there enjoy this than you think.

It's Spanish campy fun. Two stories told at once, past and present. If you can't follow, go back to watching the freaking Kardashians. Geez!

Adult Version of a Quasi Love Story
fkahdz24 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
For those who have written how the show is confusing, you obviously don't understand Spanish Humor. This show is quirky, funny, and enchanting.

I never truly write any reviews but I come to defend a show that doesn't need it, the reviews are based on 'it's confusing' 'it doesn't go anywhere' you are either not watching the show or just wanting something else from this show. It's a love story, period. It goes from the 'past to the present' it shows you how everything came to be, what's so confusing?

If you didn't get your happy ending, it's simply because they want a season 2, 3, etc. Or it's just that...we don't always get a happy ending.

I recommend the show, 100%, it's inclusive of everyone as the Spanish usually do. Black, White, Gay, Straight, Trans, a little of everything.

If people find this confusing...
AndyBertaut19 March 2022
... they can't be very bright. It's very easy to follow, it's just telling two stories at once. I found it really good fun that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Strange but visually nice
skullcherry-4688726 October 2022
The visuals of the series are really a delight to watch. It is very colorful and the animation wasn't bad and it added a nice touch so just for the visuals I had to give a high score The story was kind of weird thought and a lot of times I was confused if it is a childish series for kids or a series for adults I had to skip a lot to make it through but all in all it wasn't too bad Just weird and a little too dramatic and characters went back and forth a lot which became really confusing like do you love the other person or not?

But I'm not used to Spanish TV so maybe I just don't understand the way a spanish series is supposed to be...

Why there's no picture of the black actress?
sriservato19 March 2022
Spanish TV is well known for not being inclusive and not including people of color in their telenovelas , movies, or media in general, especially as main characters. Now, there is a Black protagonist and I browsed IMDB to find info on who she is and there's no picture of her!

Garbage
anniebellelee17 March 2022
Wtf is this.

It definitely seems like one of those shows that just adds nudity to get people to watch, because honestly this is just a bad show. Makes no sense, it's honestly boring, the singing parts are cringe and just bad.
