Despite their production values and the big names behind the series, the public became confused by the complicated plot and storyline, and the ratings never went well. Many people thinks that this telenovela was the big factor behind the downfall of RCTV in late 1990s.
RCTV tried to promote heavily the telnovela, in hope to attracts spectators, but their efforts failed. When the plot becomes confusing and the ratings lowered, the channel aired a series of shorts where famous first actress Amalia Pérez Díaz resumed and explained the plot in a didactic way. This effort backfires when people began to perceive the telenovela as so difficult to understand that must have to be explained, and Ms. Pérez Días apparitions become subject of mocking.
