r/telenovelas

Anyone have a link for this exact version?

As some of you know, I’ve been working on an English translation for Cuna de Lobos for the past year and a half. Yes, the project is still on. No, I unfortunately don’t have a release date yet. Thank you for your patience and your interest!!

But anyway, I’ve reached THIS scene (episode 150 in the original airing and in my version, episode 75 in the version on ViX) and I’ve had to stop multiple times because I keep sobbing my eyes out. 😭 And I DO mean sobbing. Loud, ugly sobbing.

Maybe I’m just too close to these characters after living with them for so long, but I’ve never been so wrecked by anything I’ve ever seen in a novela. I have definitely teared up and even cried while translating certain scenes throughout, but this is next level!! Like I can’t fathom anyone who’s watched up to this point reaching this scene and not also breaking down. The dialogue and acting is just so beautiful, poetic and heart-wrenching!! 😭💔 It’s not the campy, over the top, cries in Spanish stuff telenovelas are known for that we all know and love, it’s genuinely devastating and feels so believable. But again, maybe I’m just too close to this story now!

I’d also like to declare Rebecca Jones (RIP) as one of the greatest talents ever to bless the genre. Her performance in this novela is simply astonishing, and I’ve seen her in others where she plays completely different roles and is every bit as convincing. The actress playing the maid Gudelia is perfect too.

Just an incredible scene all around, and I really really hope I can do it justice with my translation!

it seems like it's not available anywhere anymore. why is that? it's a really good show...

Hello everyone, this is Claudilla83

Due to recent events in which a Patreon account similar to mine started reposting the exact same Yo soy Betty, la fea episodes that I subtitled into English a few years ago (I'm referring to the early episodes)... and then, for subsequent episodes, began copying the vast majority of my subtitles using OCR to pass them off as their own... well, all of this triggered Patreon to find out about the situation. Upon seeing that it included RCN content, they decided it wasn't a project their platform supports (let's thank the other account for triggering these events) and terminated both accounts.

Given this situation, and in order to English-sub the remaining 70 episodes (100 to 169), I've had to move over to Buy Me a Coffee:

If you were one of my patrons on Patreon and want to keep supporting me to finish the project once and for all (which will take less time now that I have Juan Rivera’s help and a computer with a much faster processor than my old one), please subscribe on Buy Me a Coffee, where I’ll be posting Episode 100 of "Yo soy Betty, la fea", which I’ve already finished subtitling in English (I'll use the usual font, not the hard-to-read one).

If I manage to get the support of those who had subscribed on Patreon, I will start publishing episodes 96 to 99 with subtitles again, using the same font I've always used.... who cares anymore if someone else tries to extract my subtitles using OCR. If I don't get support on Buy Me a Coffee, unfortunately I'll have to pause the project indefinitely.

Please let other fans know, because I don't have a way to contact everyone who subscribed to my Patreon.

Best to everyone!

I have watched both Fazilet Hanim ve Kizlari(The turkish version) and Las hijas de la señora García(Remake). Here is why my thoughts are mixed:

Things Turkish Series made better :

1. Hazan(Valeria) and Yagiz(Nicolas):

The turkish one beautifully shows the difference between Attraction and actually what Love is. The way their storyline is written and how Hazan falls for Yagiz and how she realizes it and how they move forward and choose each other is well done and Wholesome😍

2. Portraying the Red flag Sinan(Artuero) as the red flag, which makes it easy and not confusing to why Hazan(Nicolas) falls hard for Yagiz(Nicolas) and finally chooses him instead of going back to Sinan(Artuero).

3. Even the secondary characters relationships were given a better plot and well written redemption arcs and storylines.

4. The acting was much more intense and better.

Things Telenovela Version did better:

1.The overall show was much more humanized and less toxic than the Turkish version, especially with Ofelia(Fazilet) and Luis(Hazim).

2. The soundtrack was much much better.

Conclusion:

The Telenovela version was very underwhelming in every aspect and especially the actual ending. It felt rushed towards the end which ruined the purpose of Certain storylines like Juan-Mar, Nicolas- Valeria, Paula's underwhelming Consequences and Nicola's Mom revelation.

They fixed certain issues that were in the turkish version but also ruined the things that made the Turkish version stand out.

this particular subplot just took a VERY sharp turn and now I feel ill 😩 if you know you know

My top ten are:

Humberto Zurita as Jorge de Martino Valdés (El Maleficio)

Eduardo Verastegui as Mauro Expósito (Alma Rebelde)

Julio Camejo as Veneno (Contra Viento y Marea)

Sergio Sendel as Adrián de la Fuente (Tres Mujeres)

Victor Noriega as Pablo Rentería (Mujeres Engañadas)

Aarón Díaz as Santiago Cano (Santa Diabla)

Manuel Landeta as Lucio Montemayor, El Conde de Aragon (Rubí)

Rafael Amaya as Aurelio Casillas (El Señor de los Cielos)

Damián Mendiola as Vinnie Montijo (Primer Amor, a Mil Por Hora)

Sergio Goyri as Ignacio Aguirre (Te Sigo Amando)

Honorable Mentions:

Tony Dalton as Dago (Clase 406)

Fernando Colunga as Eladio Gomez Luna (Pasión y Poder)

Hector Suarez Gomís as El Pantera (Preciosa)

Looking at this list makes me realize that the male villains are more despicable in actions than the female villains…

Anyways, who do you think are the most handsome villains in telenovelas?

But now I remember who Angelique Boyer reminds me of. Don’t get me wrong, I know that hr iconic lips is due to her having Cleft Lip and her teeth suit her even more perfectly- but her small face reminding me of someone and until recently- that rat.

​

I never been a huge fan of romance novels or series up until I stumbled upon some of these series during childhood and teen years.

I'd love to find something new, that would make me go through those emotions again.

When it comes down to En El Nombre del Amor, I related a lot to Paloma and she felt like a caged bird, such an innocent person, the sacrifices that both Emiliano and Inaki made for her were admirable.

I liked Regina's bond with Clemente in Tierra de Esperanza, never seen a disabled character in a telenovela before and I appreciate how they showed her respect instead of making her a comedic relief type of character.

Clemente was so shy, gentle and both of them were so sweet to watch.

Fernanda and Cruz from Triunfo del Amor are also one of my favourite couples in fiction.

When her spoiled, superficial and malicious partner and friends disappear from Fernanda's life after her accident, Cruz stood there for her like he did from the very beginning, a humble and simple man that was very brave and strong.

The protagonists in Salome, Mi Pecado, Eva Luna, Fuerza del Destino shared a passionate yet selfless love, despite all the people that were trying to rip them apart, despite all the struggles they went through.

As for Gavilanes, I like how Sarita started to be more mellow and embrace her real self after Franco started to get closer to her, despite how strict and mature she was, how unyielding.

It's like love helped her blossom and set her free.

It was also fun to watch the back in forth between Franco and Rosario in the beginning, at times, Franco seemed the most mature from the trio, but also the most innocent, impressionable and sensitive, he seemed calm and collected, it seemed like Rosario brought the worst out of him and Sarita did the opposite.

I also found the bond between Oscar and Jimena to be very sweet and playful, it was nice to see her sacrifice so much to be with him, how she wasn't ashamed to work or live in a humble place, how Oscar started to be less greedy after marrying her, they were funny and passionate together.

In Lo qué la Vida me Robo, I liked the story itself even if the protagonists were toxic.

I found Angelica and Jose Luis to be very sweet, I also liked how Dimitrio changed after Monica's death, how he became an actual respectable man and it was entertaining to see his character growth.

Dimitrio, Adolfo and Josefina were my favourites from that telenovela, although I didn't like how she accepted to be with him after everything he did, it was still nice to watch them grow and improve themselves.

As for El Privilegio de Amar, I cannot think of anything similar, it's so beautiful and heartfelt, it make you reflect upon your life's decisions and that intro is so bittersweet.

I really like Sandra Echeverria, Maite Perroni, Adela Noriega and Altair Jarabo, as you can see.

I don't shy away from drama, sad series, overly ambitious and cruel antagonists but what I do want is to see something similar to these couple, a pure, genuine kind of love.

I feel like these are timeless classics, even if they might not be as well written as some newer novelas.

I don't know if you remember the chapter about José María, but he loved her so much and couldn't bear it, and he let himself die... die of love... this novel was painful. 😢
