Love this DVD

Found this show on TV after the series was almost halfway thru--when the show ended, I was so disappointed that I would not be able to watch it anymore. How happy I was to find out the entire show would be released on DVD---I was not disappointed!

Can now watch this show over and over and whenever I want to! May 14, 2008

El Peor Editado/ The Worst Edition Job

Esta novela es la mejor !!! Pero en el DVD cortaron MUCHAS escenas romanticas de Bruce y Rosita, Julia y Diosdado !!! Y muchas mas... Yo hubiera preferido pagar mas para que la novela estuviera completa... Que decepcion es este DVD...

English:

Dame Chocolate

I really enjoyed watching the DVD's. The only complaint that I have is that too much was edited out. I would have liked to have seen more of the story with Rudy and more detail of the ending (ie: Mauricio/Hortencia, Rudy, etc.) I would have been willing to spend a little more to get more detail.

What happened?!?!

At first I thought it was I who was remembering the sequence of the story wrong, but I soon realized that a slew of scenes were left out of the DVD. As a result, the story line is confusing and doesn't flow smoothly. I'm so disappointed as the DVD does absolutely no justice to the original series which I loved. Overall, the series itself is AWESOME, but the DVD hacks it to pieces. In my opinion, nothing should have been edited and the series should have been sold as a whole. Learned a great deal of Spanish, though. December 30, 2007

Worst editing job ever!

I watched the original on TV, and loved it! Unfortunately, the people in charge of the editing for the DVD version did an awful job. I would say more than half of the episodes are missing or cut short. Key scenes were deleted, ruining the flow of the story. Not only are subplots cut short, but also the story between the main characters (Rosita & Bruce). If you haven't watched the original you may still enjoy it, but you'll definitely know there are key scenes missing!

En español:
Vi esta telenovela en la televisión y me encantó. Desafortunadamente el equipo a cargo de editar la versión para el DVD hizo un trabajo pésimo. Yo diría que faltan más de la mitad de los episodios o fueron editados pobremente. Faltan escenas claves para el desarrollo de la historia. Al editar no sólo cortaron escenas de las historias paralelas, sino también de la historia de los personajes principales (Rosita y Bruce). Si no ha visto la original puede ser que la disfrute, pero se dará cuenta de que falta mucho. December 14, 2007
