Marimar

Okay – let’s get it straight out – I have no clue what this Mexican Telenovela is all about. I know, people have been going gaga over Thalia long before the invasion of the Chino-velas! But seriously – what is it all about?

I have friends who made it a point to go home early and finish their homeworks to watch this show – but really – was it really that good? You see, I am a sucker for Telenovelas, ask my mom, my friends and my Panget! They’d all say the same thing – that I am indeed a sucker for them, I’d watch them and even discuss possible spoilers of the show with people! Ahhhhh… this is my ‘drama’ in life… 🙂

When I read in Sophie’s blog – that she loved it (when it was still shown) – I sent her messages thru YM asking her what she show is all about. Ever so cute Sophie replied instantly – and here’s what she told me on YM:

sophie : marimar starts with a young raggeddy ann dressed girl
sophie : hahaha
sophie : with lolo and lola didi: nice ba?
sophie : falls in love with sergio the hairy chested guy riding a horse
sophie : then sergio marries her to spite her parents or whatever
sophie : then the household makes a laughingstock out of marimar esp angelika
sophie : renato’s wife sophie : then things get worse as angelika orders someone to burn the house of marimar’s lolo and lola
sophie : d ko na maalala basta sa huli magiging iba na ang pagkatao ni marimar
sophie : under the name of bella aldama

Now, after reading that – I got fascinated. Looks like they indeed followed the recipe of a good telenovela!! 🙂

But will GMA 7’s version compare to that of the original one? I will never know – because I don’t have anything to compare it with! It’s been day 3 (of showing) already – and I still haven’t caught the local version! What time does it start anyway?! Dang it!!
