Mexico's most talanted actress ever Lorena Rojas(Como en el cine) and Telemundo's hotest male star Mario Cimarro(Pasion de gavilanes) are coupled in a mysterious story of passionate, death defeating love! The chemistry between Rojas and Cimarro, as newspaper Miami Herald wrote, "makes the chemistry in Mr. & Mrs. Smith seem like kindergarten frolic".
This great telenovela was writen by Colombia's "master of mystery" writer Julio Jimenez, same one who wrote hits like Pasion de gavilanes, La viuda de blanco and Yo amo a Paquita Callego and it's the story of a man who comes back from the dead in a new body for the woman he loves only to find that she is with another(and always has been!). A love-hate relashionship with drive them to a passionate afair and the revalation of secrets that will leave you with an I-did-not-see-this-one-coming look!
Lorena Rojas is simply enchanting as the obscure Isabel, she provokes, intrigues and leaves you breathless with her brilliant acting! From the other hand the villano of the telenovela Martin karpan with his strong, passionate acting is sure to shake the viewer up!
Many other big telenovela and Latin cinema stars take part in the telenovela with Roberto Moll, Pablo Azar, Diana Osorio and Jeannette Lehr standing out!

I watched this show when it aired, I wanted to see it again, unfortunately, too much has been taken out, the relationship between the characters was the main attraction for me and half of the cast was barely shown. If I hadn't seen the original, a lot of what happened in the edited version wouldn't have made any sense, As it is, I spend most of the time explaining to others who had not seen the show why certain events too place etc... A word should be sent by the creators of the novelas that their work has been downgraded to incomprehension. This is not the first novela that I have bought and found wanting , but this time they went beyond editing, some scenes were switched around in order for the story to make sense, and some relationships vital to the story were obliterated.

Its missing to many scenes and the story between caracters gets lost. the story about second caracters is ignore. I was really disapointed. I wish they would release this title incluting the entire air time.
I was going to buy the other titles but when I saw how they chopped this title I am not going to unless they have the complete version.

1) Quality and editing:
For someone who has not watched the original version on TV this will definitely be an enjoyable and addicting story to watch (it will be very hard to stop once you start watching it!)I have to say that Telemundo/Universal is doing a much better job than Televisa in the DVD release department of "condensed telenovelas" as the editing is smoother and much more seamless.

2)Content:
I do agree with the fans that complain that too much content has been cut out. I really don't know why these multi million dollar corporations can't release larger versions without compromising the content and the story so much (cut out the excess "filler" scenes and episodes used to extend the life of a sucessful drama while it is on the air, but leave the complexity of the stories and characters intact!)

THE SERIES HAS BEEN EDITED IN A WAY THAT VERY IMPORTANT SCENES ARE MISSING. IF YOU DIDN'T SEE THE SERIES WHILE IT AIRED ON TELEMUNDO DURING IT'S SEASON -- YOU WON'T UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY THIS DVD SET. STILL ENJOYED WATCHING IT A SECOND TIME

I watched the whole telenovela on TV and just had to have it on DVD. It is a wonderful story. I have watched it two times already.

I have watched the Cuerpo Del Deseo in a television series and that is what made me to buy the product.
However, after watching the purchased product I discovered that it is highly abridged with lots of scenes cut off and this made me sad. This is not fair.

Its 143 episodes 45 minutes each. The DVD crammed the entire novel in 12 hours. What do you think?

I have bought many CDs and DVDs from amazon, but this one doea not meet the standard of the others. what I mean is that, because I watched the series on the television (AIT) before buying the DVD, I am able to know that the film (DVD) is not comprehensive - not complete. It jumped a lot of episodes, many were ommitted. i was not happy after investing such amount thinking I would get complete epispode, I ended having less than what I got from the TV even when I did not watch the TV all through.

I am not comfortable with this DVD. If it is not that I have opened it, I would have sent it back because it was a disappointment. I was promising my wife that we would get the original DVD from you, when I recieved it with the high spirit I got something different.

It took a long time before the following actors and actress appeared: (Antonio, Simon and Valeria); even when Antonio and Angela were dating and Don Pedro was against with the relationship was not shown and many others episodes that I may not be able to state.

Please, what can you help do about this DVD? it is a dispappoint.

Telemundo/Universal put together an excellent release. Yes, it is edited down to 12 hours like all novellas that are being released, but i personally do not mind as all the fluff/unnecessary scenes are cut that drag out the novellas for 6 months.
Televisa/Xenon's releases make 2.5 hr long discs with no breaks, making it a little difficult to find where you left off, unless you leave the disc in the DVD player. It is like splicing together 4 episodes of Ugly Betty with no breaks inbetween. Not here. Telemundo/Universal formed new "episodes" to break it up and take you back to the menu. I like this alot better.
This is an excellect novela, the actors have great chemistry, and the production is top notch. This is one of the better novellas I have seen. Enjoy !!!!!
