Rebelde

I am an American teenager who spent time in a town in Central America where every single teenager watched this show. I'd say it's like The O.C. but more with even more ridiculous drama. It's set at the Elite Way School, a boarding school where the students dress in revealing uniforms, the teachers have as many affairs as the kids, and they never really do any work. Nevertheless, the show is awesome! It's so fun and even my non-Spanish-speaking friends love it! It also spawned the pop group RBD which is a huge success in Latin America. Check out their website, the songs are fun, and watch Rebelde on any American Spanish channel(Univision has it every day at 3). Enjoy!

Before I comment, let me tell you beforehand that I'm a French IV student in high school. Recently, I came home from school and I turned on the TV to see what's on. I had never watched Spanish-language programming before, and although there was initially a language barrier, I managed to understand most of what was going on (since French and Spanish are Romance languages, meaning that they are derived from Latin) and I liked it. Unlike other drama programs I've seen, it is different. I think different is good. Once you get beyond the obvious language barrier, you get to appreciate what a masterpiece this program is. This TV program is one I think would be hard to replicate in English. The theme song is very catchy, and you can easily pick up on it. Overall, this a great program. If you ever have a chance to watch this program, you will enjoy it.

I don't speak Spanish. But one day at work, a buddy of mine and myself was browsing the channels in the break room when we came upon a Spanish show (Rebelde) and although we didn't know what they were saying it looked interesting. That was about 3 months ago and from then on I have taped every show. I now know almost all the characters and I have looked them up and know a little more about them. I have also browsed the internet to find that the show REBELDE and the group RBD is having huge success! They are rated #1 of all age groups and in different countries. People from everywhere are getting into the REBELDE craze. Even though these are actors, I know that in reality they are a good group of people. Just like our actors in the U.S. they play characters but thats just acting. I like all the songs (most are from the RBD group) and the plot lines. Once I learn Spanish I am sure it will be a lot easier then trying to guess whats happening. I'm a true REBELDE fan now and will keep watching. I'm on the lookout for the DVD. My RBD CD are on the way!!!! 2 Thumbs way up!!

I think this is one of the best Mexican soap opera since Clase 406. The characters are amazing. The reason the soap opera is amazing, to say the least is because it has humor, romance...etc. All of that brought to you in one soap opera.

The character of Mia is your typical "Fresa" girl. Sure she's very wealthy, but she's also a caring person.

Roberta is your " rebel." She's the daughter of a famous singer. Although she looks tough from the outside, she's really a softy on the inside.

Miguel is a nice guy who loves his family and would do anything for his friends. He entered the Elite way school to avenge his father's death.

Diego is the son of a power politician. He's known as a" daddy's boy." Whenever he's in trouble he can just call his dad up and that problem will be solved.

It's very good. I recommend it to anyone.

So I started watching Rebelde when I was home sick one day and there was nothing else on TV so I decided to check out the Spanish channel even though I don't speak one word of Spanish. It took me a while to get to know who the characters were, but once I started watching it on a more consistent basis not only were the characters interesting but their story lines were easy to follow, even if you don't know the language. And then when I found out that six of the actors from Rebelde were in a Spanish Pop group called RBD, and frequently there music is used on the show, it's adds a bit to it. Overall I think Rebelde can easily be enjoyed by anyone no matter their language just as if they have the patience to get to know who the characters are and even though I know I completely miss things, it is quite fun to try and guess what they are saying. When Rebelde's released on DVD I'll tell ya I'll be right there buying my copy!!
