Answer 2

Betty La Fea (Versión de Colombia)

Answer 3

Try watching "Mañana es para siempre". That was great! It was on Univision. I don't know if you could find copies elsewhere. And right now we're watching an interesting novela called. "En nombre del Amor".

Answer 4

I've watched a few episodes of "Lalola" (I don't know from what country) & it's quite funny. Womanizer guy gets cursed & turns into a woman!

Answer 5

For me, telenovelas are boring and insulting to the human race, but if I HAD to watch one, it would be "Mas Sabe el Diablo" because of all the beautiful women.

and I watch it for the beautiful men.... :) - Desael, May 11, 2010

Answer 6

I watch "Victorinos" and sometimes "niños ricos, pobres padres" and "decisiones"

Answer 7

I really like the telenovelas from DramaFever. For example, I really enjoyed Treat Me Nice (from Argentina) and One Step Forward (from Spain) - the accent is very different on each, so if you're more familiar with Latin American spanish, Treat Me Nice might be a better option. Both telenovelas can be seen for free online (with english subtitles).

Answer 8

Anyone know how to 'download' episodes, so I can watch them offline?
