(contains spoilers)
Rebelde Way is, in a way, a Chiquititas sequel, as it brings together Cris Morena and her kids, now grown up with colored hair and crazy ideas as to how to make adults go nuts.
Camila Bordonaba, Felipe Colombo, Luisana Lopilato and Benjamin Rojas star, along with actors who will make you squeal "Hey, that's ___" when you first watch the show, only this time, instead of being parentless, moneyless and full of optimism, they are somewhat rich, somewhat spoiled and go to Elite Way, your dream boarding school, where they get visits all the time, barely study for exams, skip classes, spend half their time outside and live in rooms the size of your house with wall colors matching their sheets.
The focus is of course on love and relationships - Mia and Manuel, The Couple, the forbidden love, is the first couple. He came to Argentina to destroy her father, who caused his father's suicide (although not so much). They fall for each other, of course, at first sight, where she's dressed in nothing and he goes "wow" to himself. They love to play with us, the writers, as they bring the two together for nearly a week (a week!) only to break them up again until the first season's finale. But don't get your hopes up - the middle of season 2 marks the (supposed) end of them... until the season finale (100 episodes of aloneness).
Pablo and Marizza are the other (not) couple, and here too we are fooled again and again. At first, they pretend to be a couple only to get their parents off their backs. Later on, they get together because of a bet, break each other's hearts and result in the almost saddest moment of all time. Their not coupling is too fun to watch as fights break out every other episode and are fun just as the kisses are. The second season is the season for them, as they almost get together every week or so. We get a real relationship between the two, finally, by episode 135, following the Best Kiss Of All Time. And all is happy.
As Luisana is the rising star of the show, blonde and hot and blue eyed and oh-so-amazing, Camila is the actress - she will make you cry, laugh, and cheer on her. In season 2 she shines - she cuts her hair on screen, shuts her mother out of her life, discovers the truth about her father and Art teacher and proves to be the finest actress on the show. In the second part of the second season, each scene of hers is jaw dropping and heart breaking - and on stage, as ErreWay, she is no less amazing.
The show is a cross between a soap opera and a telenovela, and each episode is entertaining and worth watching. It warms your heart and sets itself in it, and you don't want to let go. As parents go crazy, you should leave the prejudice aside and just watch - you will never want it to end.
