I really enjoyed watching "La Otra Mitad del Sol". I have watched several telenovelas offered by Amazon to practice my Spanish. This one was edited perfectly, I did not feel that something was missing (obviously cut out) as in some other edited soaps. The story is interesting, different and original, one of the best I have seen.

La Otra Mitad del Sol is not a typical telenovela, the story is about the private university in Mexico City, and main charicters are professors and students. I was not born in Mexico or in latin culture, I enjoyed waching telenovals in Europe before, so some cultural referenses seems a little bit strange to me, such as sexual relations between teachers and students seems to be acceptable in Mexico, same as between councellors and patients. But it builds the story , so it is what it is. Demian Bichir is hot, he is in American TV series Weeds as well. Anette Michel is very beautiful women, and other actors are very easy on the eye too. So as far as telenovela goes it is very good product. The quality of CD is good, exept somwhere in 13th or 14 episodeI don't remember the episode number for sure, the English subtitles do not mach to what is going on( it is when Filippe gets into the jail, but subtitles talk about his son visions, I just kept guessing what is going on with my limited Spanish skills). Other than that I will recommend this show for people who like latin culture and learn Spanish.La Otra Mitad del Sol
