rather dynamic, albeit a bit cheap looking, Spanish language trailer below as I did not manage to find one with English subtitles, sadly! Netflix has terrible marketing.

I've always trusted Colombian telenovelas specially their period pieces but I cannot bring myself to watch this, perhaps the pictures of the sisters in samurai gear have something to do with it?
ReplyDeleteI find the casting very bizarre for some reason LOL It's been ages since I've seen a Latino telenovella. At some point they have been replaced by Turkish and Indian soaps in my country.
DeleteYou haven't missed much. The Golden Era of Telenovela is past, Turks and Koreans picked up the model and do it well.
DeleteAsian ones are something I don't think I will ever get into.
DeleteI have a feeling that I would fall asleep if I watched this one LOL
ReplyDeleteBut they are lady ninjas LOL
DeleteNetflix and cheap marketing you say? I never see any marketing from them at all other than on Facebook. I'd say for as much as they charge subscribers, they can afford to do a lot better of a job in the marketing department. Then again, they do have to pay the likes of those idiots Harry and Megan as well as the Obamas lots of monies for their trash projects, so I guess that's where their budget goes. In any case, I don't think this one is for me.
ReplyDeleteI mean sometimes they don't even upload a freaking trailer onto their YouTube, like in this case or that Smiley series a few weeks ago.
DeleteLots of period dramas out now it seems. Greetings!
ReplyDeleteThat is true.
