![]() He's also in excellent shape and isn't showing his age. Yáñez' casting has been controversial because of his age, but he is an excellent actor who understands this character well since he's the same guy, essentially, as in both previous novelas. Here he is the son of the tragic Maria del Rosario (previously Blancaflor) Montes de Oca and the studly fisherman Juan de Dios he promises the latter to get revenge on Rodrigo for his parents' tragedy. Only now, instead of Alejandro Aldama our hero is called Juan del Diablo. What must also be helping the publicity – and controversy – of this series is the return of Enrique Rocha and Eduardo Yáñez to the roles they portrayed in 1991. ![]() Liliana Abud, who was head writer of YO COMPRO ESA MUJER, teams up again with Olga Ruilópez to incorporate this story into the love quadrangle of Juan del Diablo, his meeker brother (here cousin), and the two sisters and despite a few truly incredulous early situations this story fusion will work pretty well. Televisa's formula of a controlling parent for at least one of the lovers in a story always works and now we have two controlling parents portrayed by veteran actors who have excelled in such signature roles. ![]() However, the writers' choice to combine the basic story with the equally riveting YO COMPRO ESA MUJER isn't a bad one. Not having read the book nor seen the first two series on which it was based, I have no idea how far any version deviates from Caridad Bravo Adams' original novel, but this one is likely the one farthest afield. The popularity of this classic story dictated that there would eventually be a fourth telenovela version and that each new generation of viewers will experience a new one as it comes out of post-production.
