La transformación

The change came. And not a moment too soon. Honestly, I was so tried of Marimar and her tribulations in the first DVD of the three part two-sided DVD set that I was more or less forcing myself to watch the telenovela. The drama was high and as melodramatic as I remember it, but like I wrote in my last blog post, Marimar was just too annoying. I honestly did not like her character, and maybe its just me and my cold, cold heart but I thought she more or less deserved all that happened to her because of her naiveté. But thankfully Marimar was put in jail for a whole ten minutes, came out, met her long lost father, and he transformed her into todo una dama in less than five minutes.
(After some searching, I found the three minute transformation of Marimar on youtube in Greek. I didn't know Greeks also liked this telenovela, but either way here it is. The montage I'm talking about starts two minutes in:

This Marimar, well this new Marimar is someone I can root for. Sure she's rude at times, selfish a lot times, and way too high strung for my taste, but at least she's not helpless and whining all the time. After la transformación, I was able to finish watching my telenovela within a couple of days, as I no longer had to force myself to watch it, but was actually interested in Marimar and all her melodrama.
