Don't read coz these may contain spoilers!!!
I just recently watched a show aired by ABS CBN titled "Malparida". Based on the synopsis from wiki, the story revolves around a beautiful woman named Renata who would like to take revenge to a man named Lorenzo Uribe. Lorenzo fall in love with Maria, Renata's mom. But Lorenzo is already married to Nina, with a young son named Lautaro. Unknown to Lorenzo, Maria had already a daughter from her previous relationship which is Renata. Lorenzo loved Maria but choose his real family in the end. He abandoned Maria and unknown to him, they had a son named Manuel who became autistic. Maria hanged herself because of her depression and heartbreak and Renata vowed on her mother's grave that she will make Lorenzo pay for what he did to her mom and their family. She had made a trap for Lorenzo to fall in love with her but what she did not foreseen is she also feel in love with his son Lautaro and later on the end, a brother of Lorenzo which is the Admiral came in to the picture and make matters worst.
I would admit that I love the storyline at first. The characters are thoroughly characterized and I love anti-heroine characters where the hero is not a naive young woman who feel in love with a rich man and later learned that she is really a daughter of a rich person. Lautaro, played by the handsome Gonzalo Heredia and Renata, played by the beautiful Juana Viale, are both equally talented performers and not to mention that they are oozing with sex appeal and chemistry. Yes, I did love these show because of these two actors. Sometimes, when I watched teleserye and love stories, the first thing I always look for is the chemistry. And these two have that in the show. But then, I am a curious person so I would not wait for the tagalized version of the series. I checked with the web and watched the show in Spanish. I have watched shows before in different languages especially the TV50 Espana channel in the cable.
The 1st 15 episodes are exiting and titillating especially watching Renata and Lautaro fight. It's also exciting to think what will happen next, if Lautaro will eventually fall in love with Renata and what will Renata do if she feel in love with Lautaro even though her revenge is not yet culminated. There are many things to look for and get excited with. You will be hooked to the series if you really love it.
But then, like all series which has no end yet when it was started filming, Malparida became dragging in the later part of the series. Why I said dragging is because a lot of things had happened and the revenge is not even culminated. Yes, Renata and Lautaro did fall in love with each other but why did Nina have to die? So that Renata and Lorenzo will eventually have a relationship together? Yes, they had a relationship and that is on the same period when Renata and Lautaro did have a relationship. Now, that is what we call a father and son sharing the same woman. I don't know if these will be shown in the ABS because I know that the show is aired in the lunch hour, which the children are usually at home with their parents.
Another disappointment for me is the way the story was executed. Yes, the main plot is very good. Revenge and Love are the two of the most interesting topics in a love story. Coupled with a drop of romeo and juliet's theme, such as you both love each other but there are many opposition on both sides and you cannot love someone which is your enemy's son, the story will surely be a hit. But then, how about the characterization of other characters? I don't like the way Lautaro married his girlfriend Martina and then eventually, have a long series of sexual relationship with Renata. And then, there is Renata who already had a relationship with both father and son. Yes, the relationship with Lautaro is maybe intense and very romantic but still, it is done out of illicit affairs.
Another thing is how the story ended. Yes, Lorenzo has to die to pave way to the relationship of his son and Renata. But what about the past, how could Lautaro erase on his mind that the woman he is with has been his father's wife and lover. Now, that is what we call true love. But alas, in the real world we live in, true love exists but not to that extent. Yes, you may become a friend of your ex-husband/wife, such as the case of Ogie and Michelle, Regine and Michelle's husband. But that is entirely different matter. That ex-husband/wife is not your father or son.
And then, there is the story of Manuel. In the first place, Renata's intention is to make Lorenzo suffer, fall in love with her and to die in depression wanting her but will never have her. But in the end, it seems shifted as she became Lorenzo's wife after the death of Nina. The story shifts from revenge to illicit affairs between her and Lautaro. Also, isn;t it kind of revolting being sexually involved with the man who fathers your brother and had a relationship with your mother. I don't know if these episodes will be shown or cut. Let's just wait and see.
Overall, Malparida is a good show, but nevertheless, it fails to bring what other anti-heroine shows has bring. And that is justice. Look at the end of Rubi, yes, I am talking about the mexican series. It maybe had a weird ending but at least, Rubi did suffer in the end. With a burnt face she clearly adores. She did not get the man that she loves. In Irene, a korean series shown in GMA, which is also a story about revenge, the ending is quite beautiful. Yes, she did manage to get her sister's fiancee but that was before the marriage of her sister and Joshua. The sister was equally given justice in the end by giving her a prince charming. In Allondra, these is the 1st spanish teleserye which I have watched and tackes about illicit affairs, the ending is also good. Pedro and Allondra did not have a happy ending, which is usually the case in illicit affairs.
In Malparida, yes, a lot of viewers maybe clamoring for Renata's and Lautaro's love in the end. But, a lot of things had happened between these two that a happy ending is not possible. So, in order to give in to the viewers insistence, Lorenzo will have to die. I don't know what happened to Martina because I did not watched that dutifully in the end. I just know that she had a child with Lautaro but the child died. Then, there is the admiral which is inserted at the end of the story just to have a new antagonist after the fake Lorenzo's death. Yes, the 1st death is fake but the 2nd one is real. And all of these are done not to give justice to the story but just to make them long.
Now, these is what I called an honest review. I just hope that some teleserye will learn that having a good plot is enough, but to twist it into things that it should not dwell upon to make the story very long is equally dragging and suicide.
