Spanish:Los más bellos escenarios de República Dominicana junto al glamour de los eventos de belleza y la tradición de las plantaciones de tabaco son el marco de una historia de amor genuina y apasionada. Angélica, una muchacha huérfana, explotada por su tía que la hace trabajar como mesera en su bar, parece encontrar algo de luz en su vida cuando conoce a Antonio, el hijo de una adinerada familia, y se enamoran perdidamente. A punto de concretar su felicidad la maldad y la envidia se apoderan de la trama cuando su dudoso pasado sale a relucir.

English: The most beautiful scenery in the Dominican Republic with the glamour and majesty and traditions of the tobacco fields serve as the background of a passionate and genuine love story. Angelica, a gorgeous young girl, is exploited by her cruel aunt and is forced to work in a bar. She finally sees some light at the end of the tunnel when Antonio, the son of a wealthy family, falls deeply in love with her. Things start to fall apart when hate and envy starts to dwell in the hearts of enemies who will shed light into Angelica s dubious past.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gran Resumen, April 7, 2008

Trópico es una Telenovela filmada en República Dominicana con actores nacionales e internacionales.
En este DVD podrán encontrar la historia bien resumida de lo que fué la puesta en pantalla de la novela.
Los DVDs son tres (3) en los cuales encontramos toda la telenovela expuesta en 10 capitulos de una hora. Como bonos especiales los DVDs tienen fotos de producción, los mejores besos (que, de paso, recomiendo ver al final de todo para que no vean algunas escenas que adelatan el final) y el trailer.
Es un Gran resumen ya que la misma está supuesta a durar algunas cuarenta y tantas horas y solo vemos aca 10. Igual, es un bonito recuerdo.

3.0 out of 5 stars Has potential - but too much editing, January 24, 2010

This review is from: Tropico (DVD)

Unfortunately, this telenovela looks like it has potential. It has the usual plot elements that can make a telenovela fun to watch such as drama, comedy, and notable characters. However, whoever butchered this from the original cut so many scenes making the viewer have to guess and try to infer what happened previously because of the blatant gaps that were taken out. It is frustrating at times to know that a scene stops abruptly and to know that there should be more to the scene, that it feels unfinished. Or to see arguments between key characters that seem irreparable and then moments later those same characters are reconciled without ever having addressed the issue. There are quite a few telenovelas that are cut but are done in a way where a viewer new to the show would not notice and would be able to follow the entire show. This is not one of them. The show is good from what I've seen and that's why I give it the 3 stars, but it loses 2 because of the excessive editing.
