ESPAÑOL:

Juan tenia una fabrica de chocolates en Miami y al morir, el dejo a su nieta encargada de la receta secreta del chocolate mágico. Rosita y su familia se van a vivir a los Estados Unidos para mantener a la fabrica de Juan, pero para una familia que ha vivido en la pobreza toda su vida - esto es un gran cambio! Desafortunadamente, Juan Amado no era el único dueño de Chocolate Supremo...

What happened?!?!
At first I thought it was I who was remembering the sequence of the story wrong, but I soon realized that a slew of scenes were left out of the DVD. As a result, the story line is confusing and doesn't flow smoothly. I'm so disappointed as the DVD does absolutely no justice to the original series which I loved. Overall, the series itself is AWESOME, but the DVD hacks it to pieces. In my opinion, nothing should have been edited and the series should have been sold as a whole. Learned a great deal of Spanish, though.

Confusing!
I love the story line as it was presented on TV, so I bought the DVD. The person(s) that edited this on to DVD should be fired. I realize they had to shorted the story but the cut out too many important scenes. The acting is great, the story was great and it does improve your spanish, but it was reduced in quality by the awful editing. They completely missed the overall story.
Me encanto la novela cuando la vie por tele, y lo compre. Las personas que cortaron la novela la convertiron en un disastre!
