Awesome novela!
The story and the characters are very real. Each character takes you into their lives at some point, and you laugh with them, are happy with them, suffer with them and cry with them.
This novela has no villains, all-innocent damsels in distress or all- mighty heroes. This novela has true people that are not all good or evil, but flesh and bone humans with real human emotions and making human mistakes.
I might confess that I even got to hate Betty, the protagonist, at some points. You get to hate Armando, and Marcela, and there are points where you get frustrated because you don't know who's got the reason anymore.
This novela makes you laugh, cry, and wonder. I've seen it several times, and I'd see it again.
Don't ever watch the Mexican version, though, it gives me nausea. As for the American series Ugly Betty, I have tried watching several episodes and I still don't get what it is about or how it relates to this original masterpiece at all.
I don't want to make any spoiler here, so all I have to say is watch it... there is just a rare chance you won't like it.
