First, I love the show, and I usually do not love (or even like) telenovelas. But I've liked this one since it first ran on Telemundo a few years ago, and I agree with pretty much all the good things the other positive reviewers have said.

However... as some other reviewers have also said, this version is wayyyyyy heavily edited. It moves super fast due to the editing, and I'm not sure I like it quite so much. They edited out a lot (A LOT!) of developmental elements of the storyline and went straight to the bullet points, which makes it a little less interesting than it would otherwise be. But don't get me wrong; it's not like one long trailer. It has some development, just not nearly as much as the TV version. Example of how heavy the editing is; there is not one single full episode in the collection.

Oh, and that brings up another point: the DVDs run as one continuous "movie" of the whole novela. It is not divided into episodes. I'm not saying that's good or bad; it's just an FYI if you're considering buying it.

I haven't had any problems with the quality or anything like that, and the main story points are all there. But just be aware that it is heavily edited if you are buying it because you loved the show on TV.

Would I recommend it to someone who never saw the TV version? Yes!
To someone who loves the TV version? Eh... mas o menos. No diría que esté MAL, pero... es bastante diferente.

Oh, and if you get this for educational purposes or to share with non-Spanish speakers, be aware that there are no subtitle options. :)

I loved the soap I saw the version on tv and I feel that there parts that should have been included on the soap and somethings that could have been edited they were not interesting. But as we all know we can't have it all.

Sadly, the quality of the actual DVD was so bad, it made the DVD player make odd noises when loading. The second disappointment has to do with the content, which did not match the actual program as it was aired on TV.
Overall rating for quality and content...2. Terribly disappointed.

I SAW THIS SOAP OPERA ON TV AND I REALLY LOVED IT... THEY SHOULD HAVE EDITED SOME PARTS BUT I THINK THEY EDITED THE WRONG PARTS, THERE WERE SOME ROMANTIC PARTS ON TV THAT WERE GREAT BUT ON THE DVD THEY ARE MISSING... BUT I STILL LOVED IT, WISH THEY WOULD HAVE THE WHOLE SOAP OPERA ON DVD.

I have a question. Does this have English subtitles?
It's okay if not.

Please let me know. thanks,

Well, I bought this DVD even if I knew it didn't have English subtitles!! I thought that I would be able to make out one or two things, but BOY, was I wrong!!! The spanish spoken in here flows like a waterfall, but I will soldier on to the finish. My main interest was the storyline, older woman and younger man, and I want to see how that plays out!!

As for the DVD itself, it is a quality package, security sealed. It contains 4 double sided DVD's. I haven't gotten to the end (the spanish is tooooo much!!), but so far, so good.

My only compaint is the subtitles.The production company should put in subtitles, for the sake of non-Spanish speakers, and for those who are deaf!! Surely!! Is that too much to ask????

I love this "telenovela". It is my favorite so far. The personalites portrayed in this telenovela are fantastic. I have watched it several times. It is great! Very positive soap.

This is not what I expected. All the scenes that I liked from the "Telenovela Victoria" were deleted. What made "Victoria" a great novela for me was Jeronimo's way of winning Victoria's heart and THAT was missing from this DVD. You probably will like it if you did not see it on TV.

I loved this soap opera and so do not hesitate to buy it. Highly recommended for all women who have experienced disI loved this soap opera and so do not hesitate to buy it. Highly recommended for all women who have experienced disappointment, the truth is darker than ever before sunrise.

Esta novela me gusto mucho, porque era una historia, en la que no hubo villanos solo situaciones en las que personas tienen que enfrentar. Una mujer abandonada por su esposo por otra y encuentra una 2da oportunidad en un joven 16 anos menor que ella.

La edicion en esta novela fue tan horrible, quien edito esta telenovela realmente no sabia lo que estaba haciendo. No sé como telemundo puede vender algo de tan baja calidad. En esta telenovela tantos conflictos fueron editados, como por ejemplo el conflicto de Jeronimo y su hijo que no acepta a Victoria, el conflicto del la compañera de trabajo de Jeronimo que le desarrolla una atracción fatal por él. También la discusión entre la otra y Victoria, el cual es un momento climático en la novela y, en fin, los problemas de la hija mayor de Victoria. Este DVD fue tan mal editado que no recomendaría que lo compraran.
