dubbed in Spanish are superb. Another on was Xica. I did see lo que la vida me Robo. My favorite ones are the lighthearted comedic ones like Papá a toda madre and Mi corazón es tuyo.

I'm really disliking the current trend of drugs-and-cime themes, though I'm now watching La bella y las bestias and I like it. Another thing I dislike is how now they are renewing and making "seasons" like American tv shows. The telenovela genre is something else, It's always told a story from start to finish with no hiatus, and I like it that way
