Ok so please tell me if it’s just me here. But I felt like I was missing something the last two weeks of Sortilegio. What the hell happened? The writers fell off or something. I felt like they were skipping information I was confused with the whole Bruno thing. One minute he’s in a shack with hay and the next they were on a beach fighting and there were guns involved? What? I know that novelas are full of action and if you blink you miss something but this was a bit much. Did anyone else feel like it was hurried? Like they were just ready to finish the novela? And it only lasted about four months the usual novela lasts at least six or more. Univision and Televisa get a fail for this. Especially when you’re going to have hottie William Levy in the novela why hurry it? Take your time let me get all that eye candy in! We wouldn’t have been mad about that! Sigh. Now waiting to see the next William Levy feature. Ese papi chulo esta como el quiere! Lol.

What do you think of the ending of Sortilegio?

I was watching my telenovelas this past week and I noticed that during the commercials played on New Year’s Day, Univision stated that Sortilegio was in it’s last weeks (ultimas semanas). What? Didn’t this novela just start on October 6th? I’m used to telenovelas lasting a few months but this must be the shortest telenovela run ever. And with such big stars I can’t believe it’s already in its final weeks.

This novela has definitely been full of drama, lots of shower and sex scenes, sometimes just way over the top. I know I’m definitely sitting out the next telenovela that takes its place. I haven’t seen any commercials for it yet but I’m sure they will play it in the next few weeks. Three novelas in a row when you’ve got so much on your plate is just way too much!

Have you been watching along? What do you think about this novela? Sad to see it go or have you already said “Next!”

The Miriam-Webster definition of Sortilegio means a charm or spell. Also known as hechizo in Spanish. I just had to look that up. Well this novela is good. And I just swooooooonnnnnn over William Levy. My goodness he was just born to be an actor in a Spanish telenovela. The pictures don’t do him justice you just have to see him act on the small screen! Here’s the plot:

Victoria and Antonio fall in love. These two are married to other people. Victoria ends up pregnant by Antonio, her married lover. Her husband finds out they are not his because he can’t have children. So they go off to Europe to have their children. They were twins, a boy and a girl named Bruno and Raquel. Victoria’s husband dies and she returns to Mexico. During this time Antonio ended up having a son, Armando (William Levy’s character). His wife dies during childbirth. Antonio marries Victoria but the kids never know he is their actual father and treat Armando like crap. Antonio also dies, leaving everything to Armando. They are rich people. Bruno and Armando never got along and Bruno comes up with this crazy plan.

He pretends to be Armando and marries  Maria Jose (played by Jacqueline Bracamontes). This girl thought he was Armando and was in love with him. After they got married he conspires to try and kill the real Armando. His plan was that the wife would then be entitled to all the riches his father left for Armando and made a deal with her against her wishes to give him the money. He threatened her and her family. Well the plot to kill the real Armando failed and he is alive. They tell him about his new wife which he doesn’t remember anything about. They think this is normal since he has some memory loss from the accident. A lot of the first week was just laying the plot down because it was pretty confusing. I love this novela already. Lots of drama!
