Well i come here today with a little bit of a confession, well not so much of a confession, for i am not one to hide my pleasures, or even to find them really, truly guilty, i just call them that because some people think that is what they are for me, since they are so rare or recognized, at least in some social groups, but still guilty for they are what i proudly enjoy as a unique personal taste.
My guilty pleasure today, is nonetheless as i assure many have them too, a soap opera, but not just any soap opera, it is Cris Morena's Argentinian soap operas. Personally, this woman is a great producer, director and writer, she is the one that has brought joy and hope to millions of children, teens, and even adults with her work. She includes in her content not just romance or drama like most soap operas, but also a mixture of great characters that take you by the hand on a journey of self discovery, music and epic stories with social messages, like Casi Angeles or Alma Pirata, with transcending time lines, and apocalyptic governments. She has created a family within her coworkers and she is faithful to her actors, some of them have even grown up into adulthood by her side.
She has grown artistically since her first work with Chiquititas till her last with Casi Angeles, where she said a melancholic goodbye, after enduring her daughter's death and what she said to be "the ending of her inspiration".
Israel, Spain, Mexico and of course Argentina, as the main consumers of her work, responded her goodbye with sadness in their hearts, but her creations still endure, and within them some of my greatest guilty pleasures.
Don't miss them for I assure you, they will lighten your heart and take you back where childhood dreams are still alive :)!!
