bombonera199011 July 2006
i must say that its great telenovela here in q8 we all watch it , i like hector because he is Argentinian and he is very hansom , the story is very complicated and this make people eager 2 watch the next episode .the heroes are very good actors .the setting was very nice especially in cancun when i see this serial i really want to visit Mexico to see the beautiful places there . what makes me mad about this telenovela is the way it talks about love we see that rubi is an evil but when it comes to love she is completely another person she sacrifice everything for his sake she even compromise all her dreams for the only man in her life . i think hector is avery poor and sad guy because at the end he will lose it all.

Rubi, as beautiful as she is ambitious (greedy, selfish, manipulative)
Produced in Mexico, this telenovela (short novel adapted for television) is presented entirely in Spanish, without subtitles. Even though I understand Spanish, I think that's a shame because many English speakers would love this soap opera. I introduced it to some my English speaking friends, and they loved it. The only problem being the lack of sub-titles.

The characters immediately charm you. There is no more attractive cast appearing in any soap opera or telenovela anywhere.

The plot is less formulated than other telenovelas, resulting in a few surprises and twists that even the most seasoned enthusiast won't anticipate. The scenery is gorgeous too featuring Cancun and its fabulous beaches.

There is an element of comic relief provided by the Loreto character, (as portrayed by Miguel Pizarro), a gay fashion designer, and grand confidant of Rubi. He is famous for his comments that always begin with "Rubi, tan bella como..." meaning "Rubi, as beautiful as she is..." followed by an observation such as... ambitious or... desperate, etc. His infamous lines always end a scene in which Rubi shows her true colours, and not the beautiful and kind face she shows to others, in order to manipulate them.

Rubi really is a selfish, two-faced woman but, as portrayed by Barbara Mori, you really can't hate her, even when she truly deserves it.

I have watched many a telenovela from beginning to end, and this one is my favourite. I was a little disturbed by the last episode, but perhaps that's what makes this telenovela so good. My second favourite it "Amor Real".

Thank you for sharing this wonderful soap(Rubi) with us...
nadine_najwa25 January 2006
I must say that Rubi is one of my favorites soaps! Everything was great, I've no words to describe it, it's just amazing!!! I congratulate all the actors and actresses who participate in this soap and made it so wonderful, especially Barbara Mori who made a wonderful performance. It's obvious that Rubi is different from all the other soaps, because the main heroine Rubi is a bad woman, also, the ending was completely different and surprising (I was chocked). But in spite of that, I think that Rubi is the best soap till now. In my opinion, Rubi has all the ingredients of a Hollywood script (greed, hypocrisy, selfishness, desire...) I wish that they would be another Rubi 2!!!

Bárbara Mori, Shines As Sun
arturo_smallcharm11 June 2004
It is so long time a go I didn't watch one novela, since "Volver a Empezar", but one Monday, when it started, I watched it and loved it. Specially Bárbara Mori (Amor Descarado), the hotest actress I've ever seen in the world. She knows how to act, the male leading role is for Eduardo Santamarina (Marisol), who is in love with Rubí, a girl only interested about the money, no matter how ugly the guys are. Rubí has a sister named Cristina (Paty Díaz "La Usurpadora"), her mother has a mortal heart's disease (Played by Ana Martin from La Madrastra). The best friend of Rubí is Maribel (Jacqueline Bracamontes/Entre El Amor Y El Odio) who her leg was broken and that is the cause of her sadness. One day, Maribel met a boy on the internet named Héctor (Sebastián Rulli/Contra Viento Y Marea), they met in the airport, but Rubí fell in love immediately with Héctor, here starts the fight between the best friends. Enjoy it!

This is my favorite soap opera ever! I can watch it over and over again and never get tired of it. The last chapter is so disappointing though. Still super fun. Rubi (Barbara Mori) is so beautiful and awesome.

Way too overrated

Warning: Spoilers
She chases rich guys and does tons of nasty things and gets disfigured in the end. It's fun enough to watch, but nothing special. I've pretty much described the whole thing in a single sentence.

Awesome
wilfredo_ramos898 July 2005
Rubì was very amazing, the best novel I've ever seen, Barbara Mori made her debut in Televisa with Rubi and she did it very good. Also Jacqueline Bracamontes made a good performance as the suffered Maribel. This novel made a hit so much that the producers decided to make a sequel, now the bad girl will be her sister's daughter Fernanda, I hope the second part is better than the original. Rubì won all the awards in the novels awards, "Best Actress" for Barbara Mori as Rubì, "Best Actor" for Eduardo Santamarina as Alejandro, Best Supporting Actress for Ana Martin as Rubì's mother Refugio, Best theme song "La Descarada" for singer Reyli.

please answer me...:)
r_i_o_l_i_z_a2 May 2005
please answer my questions:

1. Will Maribel be treated before marrying Alejandro? 2. What's the name of their son? 3. When will Hector realize that Rubi is an opportunist? what's the instance or situation? 4. i would like to clarify, will Alejandro and Sonia end up together? 5. What will happen to Maribel after she recovers from the loss of hector?

honestly, i don't like to watch this soap because it does't impart values. (sorry if you won't agree) i always believe that influences are packed into two: direct influence and indirect influence... one may say that she/he is not affected but somehow she/he doesn't know that he/she is already affected...

please answer my questions! thanks a lot...:)

So much fun!!
moondream1931 December 2023
Of all the telenovelas I've watched rubi is my favorite!!

So much fun to hate her. All of the cast is impeccable. Seriously no weak performances or characters.

It has an Incredible storyline with so many twists. It never disappointed. I tried to keep it to one, maybe two a day, but it is so hard sometimes not to just keep rolling into the next episode to see what's next. Excellent cliffhanging!!!

I was on the edge of my seat every episode. Don't know what I will do for kicks now that I've finished it.

I have watched Rubi, Maria del la Barrio, La Casa de Al Lado, En Otre Piel, La Reina del Sur, and a few others.

I know there are so many others that I crave to watch but that offer no English subtitles and that is such a shame.

If you're only going to try one to get your feet wet, this is it. I promise you will be entertained and addicted!!!
