La Fea Mas Bella

Lety is a brilliant, kind-hearted, compassionate, empathetic, savvy, professional who has been hurt in the past and is trying to work her way up to business success despite being "una fea" an ugly girl with a good heart, a loving family, loyal friends, and a CUTE boss.This DVD cuts out a lot! This was a long series, but I was drawn into the story of Leticia Padillia Solis and Don Fernando. Despite the editing it is a totally engaging, engrossing story! Lety becomes a complete woman with humor, understanding, and self-introspection, she isn't demeaned or fooled, and she gets a man who appreciates how smart, fun, kind, and wise she is.There are many travails Lety overcomes with the help of her true friends and Tomas, her best guy pal (equally feo) helps her run her own highly successful business and save the day, despite the cunning and drama of HIS love: Alicia, a beautiful bombshell.OH THE DRAMA! Remember to stop the DVD to eat and work or you could starve and find yourself without a job (I am speaking from personal experience). If you speak Spanish and English well you might disagree with some of the subtitling, but overall it not a major issue. This is my second time buying this DVD, I wore the first one out. If you like Ugly Betty, you will LOVE the lovely Lety!

I noticed that a number of other reviewers were dissatisfied with the cuts. But bear in mind that the full series is a couple of hundred hours of material! This set is about 12 hours. Yes, the flow of the action is sometimes choppy due to the chunks that were cut. This is also true of other telenovela DVD series I have watched. But this story is wonderfully entertaining, and the actors are great. All told, still a pleasure despite these shortcomings. Since watching this set, I have seen almost the entire series on youtube, and after having seen all that, I am happy with most of the cuts.

I have noted that several people have had trouble with playback of the discs. May be a data rate issue more than the discs themselves. They seem to be quite hi-res for the amount of runtime on each disc. I sometimes have to burn discs on my job & have seen similar problems when I set the data rate too high. I had good luck with software playback on a good PC after having trouble with playback on a regular DVD player. I used VLC Media Player which should still be available as a free download on CNET. Love this Telenovela. Great comedy & Angelica Vale's performance as Lety is truly brilliant.

I loved watching La Fea Mas Bella on TV, even though I only know a little Spanish. I was excited to hear that it was coming out on DVD, and couldn't wait to get my copy. I was however disappointed by the amount of things that were cut. They cut some of the best parts and what was left will be confusing for anyone who has not seen the show on TV before. Where was the Super Don Fernando part? The part where Lety got lost in Germany?

Update: August 3rd 2015Just wanted to update my review to say that the full 300 episodes are now available on netflix with spanish and english subtitles available. happy watching.I should start by saying that I watched all 300 episodes of this show on Hulu and absolutely love this Telenovela. If they sold a DVD with all of the episodes I'd give it close to 5 stars (a little less than 5 for the last 50 episodes, but that's a different discussion). There are no english subitles on Hulu, but if you understand some spanish I'd advise you to turn on the closed captioning and give it a whirl.So why not 5 stars here? While the full show is a wonderful comedy that had me laughing out loud quite often, editing it down to size unfortunately removed much of the humor that I loved.I still decided to give it 4 stars after going back and forth on whether to give it 3 stars. While the full show is better than the edit, I can appreciate the fact that you're going to have to cut some good scenes in order to get it down to the size they needed. Also if you haven't actually seen the full show and don't know what you are missing, I think you do still get a pretty good story here. I wont say much about the translations, because I'm not a native speaker. If you have seen the full thing, well as another reviewer said you do have a souvenir for $7.99 which I don't think is a bad price. There's going to be a couple of examples (scene descriptions) in the end of this review for those of you who have seen the full show and are wondering about the edits. I'm putting it in here beacuse it's the kind of thing I would have liked to have known before my purchase. So don't read further if you don't want spoilers.There will be a lot missing. These are two of my favorite scenes below and I wasn't happy with the treatment of either of them. But I'd have to say I was much more satisfied with the first for obvious reasons.The Meson restaurant scene is cut pretty much in half. (Starts with him coming back after discovering She called Tomas on his phone). Which is odd cause he says he knows he treated her bad inside, but I think they cut out most if not all of him treating her bad. LOL. So of course we miss all the colorful women coming onto him in the restaurant, while Lety downs vodkas, and she introduces herself (loudly) to all the people he refuses to introduce her to. But you do get the Awesome dramatic scene outside.The bar scene in acapulco which I think was probably 30 minutes long at least is cut down to less than 3 minutes. So we don't get to see don fernando continuously and humourously entering and getting kicked out of the bar as he tries to provoke the guys that beat him up. No multiple names for the short bartender (Lilliput LOL) and no whispering to the bartender that he's going to drop off Marcia in Mexico city and come back. He basically walks in there jumps on the bar and calls the guys chickens, dives into them, they beat him up, then Marcia's there and on to the next scene.Like I said much of the humorous parts of this show that I love are cut out. But I still have some great scenes to look back on ie the Meson scene above. So hope this review helps someone.

One of my most favorite novelas, topped only by Amar Otra Vez! It is true that, if you have not watched this novela previously, it will be hard to follow on the DVDs, because it is extremely choppy with all the editing. However, if you have watched this novela before, you will both understand and be able to follow along just fine. A great opportunity to remember this funny and sweet novela. Enjoy!

This series is missing a lot of parts from the original show. It is not true to the original story line. Very sad. I bought the show because it was something sentimental to me. It is hard to follow story line with soany parts missing.

I was excited when my dvd finally arrived only to be disappointed by how much the novela was missing a lot of scenes. 😡

Ce clavier est très pratique si on l'utilise avec une boite Android ou Windows afin de rendre sa TV intelligente.J'ai le k400 plus et le K400 je préféré le k400 il vient avec un bouton éteindre chose que j'ai jamais trouvé dans le K400 plus.

Il dvd è abbastanza completo ma, per me, mancano alcune scene che sono importanti per capire questa bellissima storia d'amore e di amicizia.Viva le "fea" come Letty

Great , A +

I watch novelas to help my Spanish and this one was very entertaining. It is relatively easy to understand with all the characters (except Leticia) speaking slowly and clearly all the time)I particularly appreciated Jaime Cahill's comedic talent. I will admit it was a bit goofy at times but there is a reason "Ugly Betty", originally from Colombia, has been remade in dozens of countries.This Mexican version had an all-star cast with cinematic excursions to Acapulco and Monterrey. Lots of fun.

The whole reason why I decided to buy this was that I couldn't watch all the episodes on youtube. I was so excited to watch but was so disappointed when the show would only show pieces of the show and not the whole show.
