I honestly went into this show assuming I would stop watching and take it off my list within the first couple episodes. But... I did make it all the way through... kind of. I ending up watching the bits with Fabrizio and Andrea and skipped most of the rest. I did actually like these two, I felt like there was chemistry there... but the story was lacking and yeah... the ending.... pretty unfulfilling. If you're a desperate romance watcher, it's worth a view as long as you understand there won't be good closure at the end.

Unpleasant beginning and ending.

I enjoyed the series overall but would have rated better if they started the show with more clarity. The show becomes quiet interesting in the middle and you will really enjoy it totally but again I guess, they could've done it better at the end.
Good with logical end.

Short South American Soap

This is a ridiculous but almost watchable little traditional soap for South American housewives.
As usual the American translation and dubbing actors are atrocious and probably the entire thing is more bearable in Spanish.
My 3/10 is to do with the rather good looking actors and actresses and the not too cheap and ok filmed production.
Not just a soap opera romance

Don't be fooled yes it's a soap opera with the lead as some sort of smoldering hunk who turns the ladies head .. it also is a show about this modern day feudal system they were each stuck in Columbia. Starting with the heads of the coffee bean plantation owners and their rich wives who were stuck and frustrated and have no way out no more than the poor servants who work for these rich owners. The henchmen have no choice but to do dirty work for the owner. The lead is stuck even though he fantasizes for another life. This story could have been set in medieval times.
Cliché with lots of plot holes

Heck of an attractive guy! Maybe that's why I kept watching lol
It is a cliché that's been done many times and way better. The plot holes make it so boring, and piss you off because they can change the whole scenario. Beautiful scenery, and not bad as a performance for many of the actors (many sucked big time). If you need to waste time during confinement or for any other reason, you might watch it on FWD
Smouldering soap. A guilty pleasure...

I loved this! A guilty pleasure. The actors did their best with the ridiculous storyline set in Colombian coffee fincas. Makes a change from drug lords I suppose! The lead role of sexy Fabrizio, the Mexican interloper who runs a coffee shop on the plantation, was played with smouldering style by the gorgeous Jason Day a sort of Latino Poldark! Fab Fabrizio is having affairs with the sexy younger wife of a rival coffee baron, the daughter of his boss and his bosses neurotic wife! The sex scenes are pretty PG but there's a fair amount of macho posturing and violence. I was quite upset when the gorgeous Fabrizio was killed off at the beginning of episode 9 as the show sort of fell to pieces without him and the ending was a bit disappointing. All in all, a hot blooded romance with a bit of violence and excitement all set in the glorious countryside of Colombia - well shot with pretty high production values for this sort of fare. Dubbed in English. I prefer the actors to speak their own language with English subtitles but it's a small minus. Enjoyable nonsense.
Horrible storyline and awful ending!

It was just a big waste of time! Like seriously Fabrizio and Jorge died and nobody was able to really tell Jorge that Fabrizio didn't really sleep with his wife???
This was ridiculous! Like all those scenes and nobody was able to say one useful sentence about this!
The way his two employees were standing on the bridge waiting for Pancho to tell Andrea everything and then decide to shoot him is one of the silliest thing I have ever seen in a TV drama! And what was the point exactly from showing us that finger twitch of Fabrizio's before the two stupid guys put the car on fire?!
I don't know, but I'm angry haha
The production was alright though and the picture in general was okay.
Worst TV show on Netflix

Ohhh Fabrizio...

I am giving this movie a high score because the guy who plays Fabrizio is so handsome and charming!! and I love coffee!! Sexy Fabrizio started off in the first few episodes as just a sensual man who wanted to bang every gorgeous woman...no matter if they were married. However, he ended up falling in love which was his ultimate demise! Many of the characters make some very crappy decisions! Also Jorge and Peter are such caring devoted husbands...you think their wives would appreciate that...but no...everyone wants to hop on the Fabrizio train!!! Worth a watch! I binged this over the weekend and al though some parts were a little over the top...I found it worthwhile.
Just average but not great

For Spanish soap opera the plot is extremely exciting gets you hooked up from the first episode, BUT the handsome lead man Jason Day and the colead Laura Perico have NO chemistry whatsoever. It is so forced! I still watched until the last episode because regardless that there is no chemistry, the drama is very intriguing
The Beginning and ending is confusing

A veeeeeery long trailer!!
ggcarbone10 July 2020
This series has a very basic plot, the acting is poor so the production, the ending simply horrible, the characters don't deliver that special feeling you will expect in this kind of series, very predictable in general, a drama-want-to-be, it has a lot of refills, it could have been made just in 1 or 2 episodes, it is almost like watching a loooong looong trailer, in fact, I recommend you to read only the synopsis and imagine the rest, you might do even a better job than this series!
... of the genre not quite sure where it fits in.. a very packed-clogged-middle
bjarias7 October 2023
... should there be never any scenes in this Latin-soap where you find yourself chucking-laughing, but yet there are... just so laughable it's-dumb-funny at times... sure there's plenty of infidelity, very-light-nudity, and minor-violence... with most all the cast doing what they're supposed to be doing in this typical-genre-production.. none really standout to a point worth mentioning-highlighting
... Netflix brings on quite a few of these kinds of shows, so ya gotta believe they are worth it for them.. assuming they know what their-doing... have no problem with it, fast-forwarding on the platform works well enough, getting through ten episodes in plus/minus couple-hours.
