They are completely addicting! I'm kind of scared to watch telenovelas (some air on sites like Dramafever with subtitles for non-Spanish speakers) because I feel they would totally consume my life!Tara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11208796472061806391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-44181147890303263342013-01-14T09:44:45.128-05:002013-01-14T09:44:45.128-05:00LOL, Cristina!

I am horrible with novelas. Since I speak Spanish and have watched these for eons, I can keep track of several at a time. I try to justify it by saying I just watch to compare them with the book. Hahaha. Just remember you have watched too many if you suddenly wake up and wonder who your real parents are and try to figure out who is keeping your inheritance by not revealing who your real parents are. Hahaha!

Thanks for the recommendations. Once "Eva" is over I'm going to find a new telenovela to watch—one that has closed captioning! Yes, Hulu is a great resource too!Wendy Tokunagahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03529294803049232598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-85682150552921246192013-01-14T01:22:30.769-05:002013-01-14T01:22:30.769-05:00I know what you mean!

I bought a DVD telenovela from Argentina called "Amor Mio" and there are no subtitles or captioning and they speak WAY too fast for me to understand. On our local Japanese station some shows used to have English subtitles at least. :-)Wendy Tokunagahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03529294803049232598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-15751222267866957572013-01-13T21:18:09.753-05:002013-01-13T21:18:09.753-05:00I love Soy Tu Duena.

Currently I am watching Corona de Lagrimas (it is the story of a woman who is thrown out of her home and marriage with her 3 young sons and nothing but a suitcase. With the help of a woman she meets, she is able to pick up her life and raise her sons. Now grown, her oldest son and favorite, has turned his back on her to make his way in with the rich. Patricio, (the son), became a lawyer, (guess who helped him through school? that's right Mama), and is marrying his boss' daughter. She is a rich, spoiled girl who cannot be associated with poverty. So Patricio told lie after lie. They just got married and his mom showed up at the wedding. I am dying for Monday now! Another good one is Amores Verdaderos. Both are on Hulu Plus. You can also find the Korean soaps on there. I have seen Por Ella Soy Eva but haven't watched it. I will check it out now. I love Lucero. Gaby Spanic, who was in Soy Tu Duena, is my favorite novela actress. She is great in all the novelas she is in.
