Marimar, aw!

I remember it all too clearly.  Back in my college years, this telenovela was a hit.  Every night, almost everyone is glued to their TV sets watching Marimar.  People would rush home after office and school just to be on time for the show.  I've even heard comments that some wives are thankful coz their husbands came home earlier than usual and they all can eat dinner together while watching the show.

The Marimar shown was from Mexico but was dubbed in Tagalog. Mexican telenovela used to be a hit back then but it was Marimar that captured the majority.

This time, GMA network has produced Marimar Pinoy version. I was of course curious how they do it.  Thanks to somebody who effortlessly uploads in You Tube the show's episode, I can watch the show even if I'm not in Phils.  I don't know how it is faring back home.  Is it warmly welcomed as much as the Mexican one before?

Anyway Marimar is played by Marian Rivera. Marian is perfect for the role.  She has this innocent appeal which Marimar posseses and of course with the beautiful face and sexy body to match.
