Don't worry I will not give away the ending, I will just say that the ending ruins an otherwise charming story. To be fair this telenovela boosts a talented cast, an intriguing story and very fleshed out realistic characters. You can feel their happiness, their sadness, their concern, everything & it makes you very excited to finally reach the conclusion because the best thing about this telenovela is it's villain, Evangelina (Diana Bracho). The plot moves at a steady (at times slow) pace and you figure, "but that's okay because we're figuring stuff out along the way and by the final episode all secrets will be revealed BUT YOU WOULD BE WRONG, ITS A HUGE LET DOWN. You end up waiting 80 episodes for everyone to receive their comeuppance and your left waiting, Then they put that "FIN" and happy music as if you are to be satisfied by how everything turns out but you won't be, AND on top of that they add some extra stuff in the final five episodes that don't lead to anything. To put it in other words, imagine taking a long slow road trip to an amusement park. You pass both beautiful scenic and bleak areas and that make you fill you with either joy or sadness, and at the end, the amusement park is a single slide. ALL THAT FOR FOR WHAT!? I would have preferred for it to be the other way. You know certain telenovelas that are bland almost throughout the story but then the closer you get to the end the more excited you get. I just can't with Cadenas de amargura, I'm being fair by giving it four out of five because you should have an impactful ending not one that's dry, boring, bland.
