I'm on the second disc of "Rebelde". I'm starting to see the many different story lines that coincide to complicate the story and keep the audience's interest. First, I'm starting to see the the love triangles forming between all 6 of the main characters. One of the triangles is Mia, Miguel, and Giovanni. Mia and Miguel are obviously the two main protagonists of the group of friends who are destined to be together, but things keep getting in their way. Currently, Giovanni, one of the main characters, is in love with Mia. However, Mia thinks that Giovanni is just being a good friend, further complicating the love story. Another complicating factor to this love story is Vico, who is in love with Giovanni. Therefore this love triangle is filled with one person being in love with someone who isn't in love with them. Another love triangle that is forming is Roberta and Diego's love. Roberta has been in Spain with her father who is forcing her to spend time with him has consequently been away from Diego for a while. Meanwhile, Diego is dating a girl who is at Elite Way School behind Roberta's back. Upon returning to school, Roberta encounters Diego's other love interest. She gets upset and goes to her mom crying about her relationship with Diego. The final love triangle is between Mia, Miguel, and a random girl that Miguel has been seeing to spite Mia. Diego eventually goes to break up with the girl because he sees how much he loves Mia. This action is relating to the concept of opposing love stories: while one couple (or in this case two) are doing terrible, the only is doing well.
Another reoccurring story line that is used in many telenovelas is the unknown discovery of something that happened to a parent. This rendition of the story is with Mia and her mother. Mia formerly did not know how her mother died, but a secret envelope that was delivered to her told her that her mother died in a car accident with a musician she was dating at the same time that she was married to her father. After this travesty, Mia begins to find comfort in Roberta's mother, Alma Rey. Alma also begins to become a mother figure that Mia never had, completing her family and further complicating her relationship with Roberta.
I believe that further in the story, there will be more ups and downs with the 3 love triangles and more complications with Roberta and Mia's relationship before they resolve their friendship towards the end.
I'm watching Rebelde too and I really do like Mia and Miguel together. It's cool how we can apply what we learned in class to what we are watching. Another obstacle that I noticed with Mia and Miguel is of course her father. The Colluci's killed Miguel's dad and while he is trying to seek revenge, he ends up liking his daughter. It's quite obvious he has feelings for her despite the fact that he dated her friend.
