I used to watch this show everyday, the plot is great but I feel there was potencial for more.

Slow burn
gkkrocks18 October 2020
I haven't finished yet just because it's so friggin long, it's about 165hours for all three seasons with total of 220. It's so slow and i'm so tempted to just skip a ton of episodes to get it on with, just wish it could move faster. Or could be 30 min episode instead of 45-50z
The show is produced in Argentina, stop complaining it's in Spanish

A lot of people in these reviews don't seem to understand that this show is for Argentinian Disney Channel, hence why the show and songs are all in Spanish. If you don't like that, instead of leaving a bad review go find one the many shows produced in English on Disney or Netflix or anywhere. It's also a telenovela which is why it has that melodramatic over the top style, that's not automatically a bad acting thing or cheap production thing.
Compared to the shows produced for Disney US or Disney UK it's certainly not any worse. Yes the show drags out too much, each season has 80 full hour episodes and would have been better to have either shorter episodes or less episodes. However the plot is interesting and show is enjoyable. I watch in Spanish with English subtitles as I don't speak Spanish and still find it enjoyable to watch (however I'm also part deaf so subtitles are permanently on, I understand why some people dislike subtitles)
The show is ridiculous at times, Tino and Cato seem to only exist to be like court jesters which at times is annoying, I just fast forward most of their scenes. Also they could have written a larger range of songs, they largely sing the same 5 or so songs on repeat the whole of season 1 even though they have a regular open mic style contest. I've watched other shows from Argentina in a similar style and they manage to produce a full album each season and they have far less episodes to do it over.

Soy Luna is a well-diversified series. It has a great story, mixing drama, romance, comedy and lots of music!

The main focus of the series is in the life of the protagonist, Luna Valente, in her passion for skating during the first season, and in her investigation for her true identity in Season Two. The third season will focus on how everything she has discovered will affect her and change her.
The first season is good, with great moments and stories full of romance, sport and music, but taking away the main characters, little development is seen for others, making them one-dimensional characters.
In the second season, we see something different, the series continues to be fun and really good, but the focus on romance increases a lot, often making the episodes tiring with all the love triangles, and even the protagonist receives little development and good material, reusing stories from Season One, making her annoying, causing the villains, Ámbar and Sharon, to shine more than all the others, taking into account that on several occasions their stories were more interesting than any other.
So I must say that the great trump of the series, for me, are the villains; Sharon Benson (brilliantly interpreted by Lucila Gandolfo) and, mainly, Ámbar Smith (played by Valentina Zenere, who in my opinion is by far the best actress in the cast), a strong character that on several occasions gives life to the series, giving a unique perspective to the plot, she brings something very different from what we are used to see in series of the genre, after all she is also a victim... In Season Two one of hers storylines is better than any of the protagonist!
The interaction between the villains is incredible, their development, mostly on Season Two, is something I would never dream of seeing in a Disney series, for sure they are the best part of the series.
At the same time, the great "problem" of the series, is the fact that the protagonist (and several other characters), Luna Valente, is very similar to what we are already used to see in the genre, very cliché... she is the "best" in everything, always the winner, seems to have no flaws... this would not be a problem if the character was very well developed, which does not happen after a certain point.
Everyone should watch and judge the series for themselves, after all it's a great series, which impressed me in many episodes (1x73, 1x80, 2x05, 2x11, 2x16, 2x51, 2x52, 2x76, 2x79, 2x80... these are just some of the episodes that I rewatched lots of times), especially considering that this is a Disney series made for the younger audience.

I've loved this series so much. Characters are well written (from main characters to secondary ones). The series is full of love lines, but Lutteo is perfect, their chemistry is undeniable. Also I want to mention the evolution of antogonist, Ambar. Her goals of actions are understandable. It perfectly shows what happens to a person deprived of love and care.
And, of course, everything related to skating (training, performances, competitions) is breathtaking. And in addition to all of the above, great music.

The series has a good plot, however the actors are horrible, terrible, they overreact too much in all series, and all the time they repeat the same songs, all of them are in Spanish, there are only some in English but they have poor pronunciation and they don't feel like recording the series, the third season seemed very monotonous and it seemed as if they had not made an effort to do it. They have a very low budget, they do not record in other scenarios, it is always the same and all the time they lengthen the plot too much and put unnecessary scenes like those of Tino and Cato, the characters change in every season, in general the series is of very low quality, some scenes are very boring and act very badly.
Addictive series
