On social networks, the post about the ending of the movie "Behind a love" attracted the attention of the audience.
Many people humorously commented: "When I first watched the movie, I was in high school. By the last episode, I was married and had children." "It's true that I watched the movie from the time my first child was born until my second child was born and I still haven't finished it." "Seeing the number of episodes over 1,000 and the duration of 55 minutes, I know I didn't understand anything"...
"Behind a Love" is set in 20th century rural Spain with stories about family, love, intrigue, calculations and even tragedy.
The film revolves around the main character Pepa Balmes and her tragic love. While working for a wealthy family, Pepa falls in love with her boss and is robbed of her child by her boss.
She started a new life and was determined to find her lost child. But then, she continued to have feelings for a married man.
In Spain, "Behind a Love" has quite good viewership index, averaging about 1.7 million views per episode. The work was voted the best Spanish TV series of 2012.
During a decade of continuous production and broadcasting, the film gathered more than 23,000 actors.
This series broke the record for the number of episodes of "8-year-old Bride" which was shown in Vietnam from 2014 to 2017 with more than 1,000 episodes. "8-year-old Bride" was once the foreign series with the longest broadcast time in Vietnam.
During its run, the show, originally titled "Balika Vadhu," kept changing actors. Actress Toral Rasputra once revealed that she had to stop playing Anandi because she felt tired of the show's length.
In Vietnam, the show ended earlier than expected. Many viewers believe that due to the decrease in viewership, it was not enough for the producers to maintain the budget and continue broadcasting, so the show ended at episode 113 of the 12th season of the original.
