When his mother is screaming at someone, I recall parental threats of going to hell and being summoned by the residents there. As much as I was dying to see how the story would end (still rooting for Jose Luis, who is the only character with a hint of dignity and class), I could no longer stand to watch Montserrat deteriorate into a woman just as nasty, egotistical, arrogant, and self-absorbed as her horrible, bratty husband and his evil, demonic mother. Alejandro goes from being a mediocre, not bad looking but not good looking either kind of guy to eliciting such an absolute intense sense of loathing for his character and personality that it is impossible to stand watching him.
This story is really a depiction of how a previously (we suspect, because the evidence is sadly lacking!!) nice, humble dude inherits a bunch of money and becomes a little hellion incarnate who goes on to find his hellion mother (who, like any good "wolf in sheep's clothing" initially appears nice and self-depricating only to proceed to show her nasty, snide, and self-deluded personality, making it instantly clear that she and her bratty, entitled son were cut from the same cloth). You feel bad for how inherently dumb Montserrat must be.at first!! Until she starts to become a female version of her rage-filled husband Alejandro, and then you just start abhorring her as much as you abhor him.
But seriously, for her to then fall MADLY, desperately in love with him to the point of being completely and utterly blind to his masochistic, self-centered, self-promoting ways, and it is just painful to watch. Forget too the fact that his rage-filled "love" for her amounts to nothing more than self-love, egotism, and selfishness, but come on.let's be real.any woman in her right mind will NEVER be okay with or accept the man who kicks her out of the house when she is pregnant with HIS SON! Add to that the fact that despite his rage-filled protestations of "love" for her are not evidenced by unconditional love and the fact that he refuses to accept her or his own son until he sees the DNA test results proving that it is indeed his son and I'm sorry, we all know where this is headed. Here's why: Forget for a moment that Montserrat is miraculously (and incredulously) able to forgive her rapist husband Alejandro after he crudely rapes her on their wedding night. However, as the episodes rolled along the level of suspension of belief just became too obscene and the plot too incredulous, I began questioning whether I was watching a bunch of idiots vie for the "greatest fool" prize. The early episodes were amusing and it was possible to overlook the fact that nearly every scene involved either crying or shouting.
