Recently I've been really into Spanish series and movies and this one didn't disappoint me either. But this is probably because I particularly enjoy the fantasy stories. If you expect a realistic drama, about life in general this isn't your title. However, if you're like me fascinated by the imaginary world, than I think you'll love these series. It's not something that extraordinary - the story develops between the forces of angels, demons, fallen angels and other creatures. And there is everything - love story lines, family issues, friendship questions and lots more. But what I love about Spanish shows in general is that the episodes are longer than one hour and there are around 10 episodes in each season. Which means that there is a lot of things going on and it's almost impossible to get bored.

lasombra-7128228 October 2023The series impressed me so much that I even started seeing it in my dreams. This is the work of real professionals, for which I am very grateful to them. I don't even have words to describe how beautiful, elegant and enchanting it is. Mysterious and exciting music, soul-stirring poetry, vivid symbolism (Statue in the form of angels). The film is useful because it makes you reconsider many stereotypes and values of the viewer, helps you remember your own life and even perhaps evaluate it, sudden motivation and interest in life awaken, faith and caution appear... awareness in the end.
Everything is as it should be - the light side is in harmony with the dark. The series clearly shows how opposite these images are and how close their boundaries are, which sometimes merge and it is already so difficult to distinguish whether this is good or vice versa.
The actors were chosen perfectly. The following characters were especially impressive:
Valeria is a sweet girl, full of kindness, sympathy, and fairness towards people and especially towards her family. (no matter how it is considered in the series) I really liked that she is a vegetarian - this is an important point.
Natael is a true angel, the very embodiment of compassion and virtue (despite his past act, because everyone makes mistakes). I was very impressed by the moment when he took off his hood and his aura began to shine - he is beautiful.
Damian evoked different feelings. And yet he is a positive character. (The appearance suited the role especially well.)
Alexia is a sore subject. But I like that the series tells how she came to such a life. The actress is super.
Duna - The most evil that can ever exist. I'm in awe of this cute little girl who is 600 years old.
In principle, I liked the whole dark family, especially their sado-masochistic and role-playing games and pranks. But among the light ones it was a little unclear, for example, how love and care for one's family is selfishness, and in many things their logic was not clear. And I would like to know how, firstly, these two warring forces appeared - some kind of introduction and secondly, the original stories of Graciel, Duna, Iris.
I was about to give it a 10, I wanted to believe that Valeria would stay with..., but...
