I'm not one for older shows, let alone foreign ones.
Though I won't go into detail about why I had my doubts, let me tell you the various reasons why this show is one of the best adaptations I've seen.
The acting between the leads is raw and pure. From the buildup, to the climax, and conclusion, the lead actors never failed to make me believe that their destiny was really one and the same. Absolutely sold me on how powerful true love can be, and how ironic.
The storylines of the show were so well thought out and the extreme detail they went into made me so appreciative of the show as a whole. Every side character had a personality and mind of their own, and each of their fate tied in perfectly with the political and societal part of the show. Throughout the plot twists, drama, love, betrayal, heartbreak, sadness, friendship, etc. Everyone is one and the same, connected somehow in this small world we live in.
Though some may complain about the pacing and storyline, I believed the flow of the show was beautifully executed. Again, perhaps the dragged on details aren't for everyone, but it was refreshing and intriguing to watch a show that didn't abandon one plot line, in comparison to most modern shows today.
The religious, political, and hierarchical aspects of the show expanded it to more than just a drama-romance mini series. It added depth to the world the characters lived in, and broadened the horizon for why people may act the way they do.
Hilda Furacao was an exceptionally wonderful experience. It illustrated humanity in many different colours, and brought out emotions in the characters in captivating ways.
Old but gold. Kudos to the cast, and the performance they put out with all their heart many, many years ago.
