Amor Empieza después del Divorcio (2023)

Angst, misunderstandings, mistrust, and schemes!

This drama was a wild ride! The tropes and the cliches abound, but given the fact that the episodes are 4 minutes long I can't say it was a total waste of time. This is definitely a filler between longer and better dramas, but I find myself enjoying these quick little bites of angsty soap-opera styled mini series.

The acting was pretty "meh" in this drama. I had seen the ML in "Confess Your Love" (another short web series) where his acting flowed a little better, but I can't always blame that on the actor. Often the director is more at fault for bad performances because they don't give the actors clear instructions or give a pass to less than ideally acted scenes. But I digress. The ML, FL, and the two Second Leads were all adequate, but the few action/fight scenes were poorly executed.

Spoilers below:
The plot is a literal mess. The ML and FL go back and forth in and out of a relationship multiple times. The mistrust from the ML is astronomical, particularly after he said he would never lose his trust in her ever again. It was actually super toxic and I found myself enjoying it less because of that aspect. I love a good soapy melodrama with all the fixin's but some of the ML's actions made me scream internally. Same to the FL for going back to him time and again. This was only 26 episodes at ~4 minutes per episode, so the plot progresses at the speed of light, and the resolution for the villains felt a little lackluster.
/end Spoilers :)

Overall this was a quick and dirty web series that makes good filler. It's also good for the days you don't want to invest a lot of time into starting a full length series, or you have a low attention span. It wasn't the best, but I can't say it was the worst because it kept me clicking "Next Episode".
