This is one of my all time favorite Telenovela. Adela Noriega portrays Maria Isabel and does an excellent job. This was the first novela that ever made me cry. It is heartwarming, fun, passionate, and the editing for the DVD is very good. Of course there are parts that have been edited out, but nothing real major. You are able to follow the story very well. Fernando Carillo is also a dream. I can watch him all day!

There are 2 double sided DVDs in total. It includes English subtitles, which is great! 2 of my friends from college were hooked with me when it first aired on TV. They did not know any Spanish, so I would always have to translate. I am getting each one their own copy as a surprise. I wanted to wait for Christmas, but I can't wait that long.

If you collect Novelas on DVD, this is a must in your collection, and if you like Novelas, but have never bought one on DVD, this is your chance to get a great one!

What can you say about the different classes of people from mexico.
Here you see the abuse the lower class is subject to and being ridiculed because of their heritage. Love lust and passion rule this film not to mention greed wealth and power. Although this novela is missing parts when they put it together it's as complete as when they transmitted on the television. My hands out to the kids their performance was excellant. The main characters proved that love conquers all obstacles. Those that were greedy got their just punishment throughout the novela. Adela Noriega's acting was as genuine as the culture of the indians way of life in that town. Fernando Carrilo's acting was very reflective of the higher class who still can be rich and very understanding and down to earth to their constituates. Thumbs up to the writer and producers of this excellant novela.

Love it! I am a Spanish teacher and my Spanish III and IV kids are totally hooked on this telenovela. We just wish there was a second season...it will be hard to find another that is quite as campy and fun to watch.

The first few episodes have a few uncomfortable scenes where men keep trying to accost Maria Isabel, but there are only a few of these and once they get past this the fun really begins.

Apparently the people who made this DVD couldn't get the rights to the music so they put in generic music. One of the thing I was looking forward to was the song "Si tu supieras" but it's not there. Otherwise it's a fun Telenovela.

Esta Telenovela la Compre por el Elenco que tiene y porque la encontre en Oferta.
Me Gusto mucho, contiene lo mas importante de la Novela.
No tiene el Tema Principal, de Alejandro Fernandez, Si Tu Supieras, tiene una Musica Instrumental.
Faltan muchas Escenas, pero dentro de todo vale la pena.

I live in Australia so it is difficult to find these sort of products here. I was happy to find Maria Isabel, however when I played it here didnt work in my dvd or PS3 since it is region 1 and here is region 4 (not even in the multiregion dvd) so I had to watch it in the computer which allows a limited number of region changes. That was disappointing. Obviously this product is for US residents only, that should be very clear before buying.
The story was very edited, sometimes characters appeared without knowing how they met or what the relationship was. Also some important parts were missing. It was entertaining though.

I saw this soap when it first came out on TV. This version of it is lacking of some important things. There were questions that I had that were not answer., Overall is very similar to original version but with some questions without answer.

Adela Noriega gave the performance of a lifetime enhanced by a storyline that kept your interest to the end. This is the type of novela that should go on forever......

I really loved this one. It has all the essentials of a really good telenovela-drama,suspense,murder,love,conspiracy. This is one of the best I have seen, and the English subtitles are excellent. I caught maybe 2 mistakes that were very very minor. I would definately recommend this one to anyone with an interest in telenovelas or foreign TV Drama or Soap Operas however you want to word it. Never a dull moment in this one. Looking forward to more telenovelas like this one!

Loved it on the TV, and wanted my own copy,with sub titles,as Im just learning spanish.
