In terms of the Grand Finale of Rubi, I have to admit that it was not so predictable like other episodes. At one point, my jaw literally dropped from being surprised. What kills me the most was that the ending was not clear. It left the audience hanging. It made me wonder what would Rubi do as she was seducing the main guy character once again in the hospital office. As she winked at the camera, the scene faded, and it was over. It was a bitter, sweet and glorious moment. It's kind of similar to how I feel as this Odyssey class is ending. I hope I will give more love and respect to Latin American culture and the Telenovela.

blog Post 3: Finale
All in all, I am very glad that I decided to take this class. I've learned a lot about Latin American culture through watching Telenovela. It is interesting because I used to watch Korean dramas when I was in Korea, and I also watched many Television shows in America. And now I had an opportunity to watch Telenovela, a Hispanic version of melodrama. I find myself more of a well-rounded person now. Watching my Telenovela made me wanting to learn more Spanish. It made me regret not fully learning spanish when I was in high school. Watching Telenovela gave me a constant desire to be a part of the Latin American culture.

I liked the telenovela of Rubi as a kid and as a young adult I found Teresa (also the telenovela that I followed this semester) to be have almost the same hooks that got me so attached to the novela in the first place.
ReplyDeleteKnowing the ending to Rubi and having seen the ending to Teresa, however, show that the two telenovelas take different approaches to the plot and closing of the novela. The very different endings that the two take was something I was not expecting because I figured the two novelas were similar in plot and characters. I was pleasantly surprised with the contrasts between the two and highly recommend you watch Teresa if you enjoyed watching Rubi.
