History YMMV / LaRosaDeGuadalupe

* SpecialEffectFailure: "El Estallido Del Corazón" (The Burst of the Heart) features an JustForFun/{{egregious}} example. A boy had lost his hand because he held a firework that had a delayed explosion. He spends the rest of the episode wearing long sleeved shirts and during one scene, you can see the bulge of his actual hand that is holding on to the artificial one.

* MemeticMutation: [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/namiko-moon Namiko Moon]] and Monsterball Go are some notorious examples for being notorious {{Shallow Parod|y}}ies.

** Horacio's mother in "Dos destinos" due to her abusive nature to her son and belittling him for not standing up for himself when he gets picked on by his bully Vicente, and even ragefully accuses him of being gay just because of his effeminate-like personality (but he's actually straight), so much that her homophobia causes her to threaten to beat him for having "another little girl" in the house. After Horacio runs away from home and have a sleepover with the girl he has a crush on, and returns the morning after, she admits that she went too far in handling the matter and promises Horacio to be more supportive of him.

** One of Horacio's sisters is also this for witnessing her brother being bullied mercilessly [[AccompliceByInaction and not bothering to do anything about it]], then snitching on him to their mother.

* RealismInducedHorror: Cheesy acting, improbable economic status, La Virgen de Guadalupe interfering on the plot and other factors aside, many of the conflicts on the show can happen in real life at any moment: Robbery, murder, sexual abuse, parental abandonment, extortion, kidnapping, arson, pedophilia, workplace harassment, domestic abuse, substance abuse, and many others, are portrayed in the show, sometimes in a very detailed way. A common joke about ''La rosa de Guadalupe'' is how it inadvertently gives ideas about murder, kidnapping, robbery, drug use, etc.

* BizarroEpisode: The episode "Las rosas" would have been a completely normal episode if it wasn't for it's climax, in which instead of having the typical prayer towards the Virgin and the white rose appearing, '''''[[spoiler: the Virgin of Guadalupe, in flesh and bone, [[BeyondTheImpossible appears and helps directly the protagonists]] to escape the bad guys instead of sending a miracle!. The episode even ends with Mary herself giving the moral at the end of the episode!]].'''''

* DanBrowned: One of the novela's most common complaints. Due to the writer's lack of knowledge of the subject and episodes typically being produced ''very'' rapidly.
** Don't worry, no matter what kind of problem you have, and what kind of stupid things YOU did to get in said problem, just praying will get you out of of it. This even goes against religious teachings, making it a case of CowboyBebopAtHisComputer about religion in a religious show, especially in "La amistad no tiene nombre" ("Friendship has no name"), in which one girl named Belinda insults and harasses another girl and has everyone hurt her [[OneSteveLimit because they happen to share a first name]]. When two girls lock up Belinda, AlphaBitch Belinda is accused of locking her up. Guess which Belinda prays and earns the other's friendship?

* NeverLiveItDown: The episode "Cosplay: Salvemos el Mundo" is one of the most memorable episodes of the entire series for the wrong reasons, and is due to its [[CriticalResearchFailure poor]] [[ShallowParody take]] on otakus and cosplayers, which has led it to be subject of mockery among the hispanic Anime and Cosplay communities for more than a decade.

* MisaimedFandom: Many people find Franco from the episode "Un Camino de paz" as UnintentionallySympathetic and that his attempt to stop the bullying at his school by scaring the bullies off was good, even though the episode portrayed it as wrong. Franco is a WellIntentionedExtremist who got revenge on bullies by scaring them, [[spoiler: killing one by accident]], and yet some say ''[[spoiler: that bully deserved to die]]''.

** Said in "Los Ingredientes del perdon". Despite losing his mother due to one of his sexist, abusive father, Rodrigo's mistakes, which got him sent to jail, it is hard for many people to feel sorry for him due to his self-righteous attitude and tendency to blame others for things that either aren't their fault or have little control of. When said death happened, he swore not to have anything to do with him. After Rodrigo, who is remorseful of his actions, was released from jail, Said, not only treats him like a pariah, but also screams at him when he had the chance. He [[NoListeningSkills refuses to listen to him]] and [[MustMakeAmends his desire to fix things between them.]] When his sister and pregnant wife try to convince him, he doesn't listen to them neither. Even going as far as to constantly kick him out of the restaurant he works in and his house, even at the last time when he tried to deliver presents for his unborn child, where it leads to his death after he fell from the stairs. This shows he only thinks of himself and doesn't want (or try) to get on others' shoes.

* {{Narm}}: The series is infamous for this, mostly due to the poor acting.

** Leonel from “El Estallido del Corazón”, after losing his hand. We're supposed to pity him because he lost his hand and has to live with the hardships and teasing. But he lost his hand because [[WhatAnIdiot he held a lit firework]], which is something even small children wouldn't do.

* IdiotPlot: A lot of episodes end up like this, unfortunately.

** The episode where a woman claiming to be the girlfriend of a notorious, dangerous narco only to get free food and other privileges - her luck runs out when a taco vendor actually knows the narco, tells him, and she disappears, never to be seen again.

* WereStillRelevantDammit:
** Shortly after the game was released, an episode talks about ''VideoGame/PokemonGo'' with the name of "Monsterball Go". Make of that what you will.
** Back in 2010, there was an episode centered on a ''VideoGame/FarmVille'' {{expy}}, named "Mi Rancho Alegre" (My Happy Ranch).
** Some episodes deal with then-current Internet memes and "challenges".
** The episode "Cosplay, Salvemos al Mundo" (Cosplay, Save the World)is infamous precisely for this reason. It treats cosplaying like some sort of escapism for social outcasts rather than the simple hobby that it actually is and it premiered in the early [[TheNewTens 2010s]] back when anime and otaku culture were losing their hip and mainstream status.

A boy had lost his hand because [[WhatAnIdiot he held a firework that had a delayed explosion]]. He spends the rest of the episode wearing long sleeved shirts and during one scene, you can see the bulge of his actual hand that is holding on to the artificial one.

* SpiritualAdaptation: While this show came first, the comparisons to ''Series/BlackMirror'' exploded when the latter became available to Mexican audiences, to the point some people call it "El Black Mirror Mexicano".
* SpiritualSuccessor: In it's native Mexico the show is often considered the sucessor of ''Mujer, Casos de la vida real'' (Woman, real life cases). As they are both Televisa produced show about episodic stories of everyday people with everyday problems, with the only difference being that in said show the plots tend to be DarkerAndEdgier in comparison.

* MemeticMutation: [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/namiko-moon Namiko Moon]] and Monsterball Go are some notorious examples for being notorious [[ShallowParody Shallow Parodies]].

* UnfortunateImplications: In general, this happens everytime the show tackles a subject the writers [[CriticalResearchFailure don't understand or don't research enough]], which is very, ''very'' often. Here are some examples:
** In an episode about a kid with UsefulNotes/AspergerSyndrome, they treat Aspergers as some sort of terrible mental illness, with his family being terrified of it, his sister acting like a total bitch, and her mother acts like it's a FateWorseThanDeath. At the end, of course, the kid is magically "cured" by praying to the Virgin: not only does this make it seem like [[DesignatedHero his mother was right]], but it would have taken the writers a five-minutes research to find out that Aspergers ''can't'' be cured. [[http://oceanpictures61.deviantart.com/journal/LO-VOLVIERON-A-HACER-391076744 It's best summed up here]] (in Spanish).
** The main complaints come from Catholics who claim the show [[http://es.catholic.net/op/articulos/67965/la-rosa-de-guadalupe-y-la-desnutricion-de-la-fe-catolica.html promotes pretty strong idolatry towards Virgin Mary.]] [-(in Spanish)-] It should be notable that whether Mary herself should be venerated or not or whether praying to her counts as idolatry are heavily-discussed themes in Christianity between Catholics and non-Catholics.
** Likewise, the behaviors the show aims to warn people about seem to be instead copied by its own watchers, the most notable example being [[http://aristeguinoticias.com/2705/mexico/adolescentes-fingen-secuestro-inspiradas-en-la-rosa-de-guadalupe/ three teenage girls who feigned a kidnapping]] hoping their parents would lend in money so they could buy clothes and mobile phones.
** It just doesn't stop there. [[http://www.sdpnoticias.com/estados/2011/08/25/nina-de-10-anos-se-suicida-tras-ver-la-rosa-de-guadalupe A ten-year old killed herself]] blindly believing that the Lady of Guadalupe would resurrect her so that her parents would stop fighting. This caused quite an uproar against the series and Televisa itself.
** By far the worst of these come from episodes vaguely based on RealLife tragedies that have taken place in Mexico, such as the chapter based on the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Hermosillo_daycare_center_fire fire that destroyed the ABC daycare center]] back in 2009 or the one based on the infamous rape of a girl called Dafne by the criminal gang known as "Los Porkys".
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic:
** The whole "Mi Nombre es Venganza" (My Name is Revenge) episode. A husband cheats on his wife Maria Luz, causing her to drive in a broken frenzy, get into a car accident and miscarriage her baby. To make things worse, she gets horribly disfigured by the accident and the husband visits her in the hospital to announce he's leaving her for his lover Romina. Years later Maria Luz (who fixed her face thanks to cosmetic surgeries) decides to seduce her ex husband and the son he had with Romina to ruin his life. We're supposed to root for Romina, but the reason the whole thing happened was because the husband decided to cheat of Maria Luz with her. To many the ending felt bleak, with Romina happily reconciling with her husband while Maria Luz is arrested for embezzling money.
** Leonel from “El Estallido del Corazón”, after losing his hand. We're supposed to pity him because he lost his hand and has to live with the hardships and teasing. But he lost his hand because [[WhatAnIdiot he held a lit firework]], which is something even small children wouldn't do.
** In "Cosplay, Salvemos al Mundo", we're meant to root for Perla because she's constantly bullied by her classmates due to always going to school wearing her "Namiko Moon" cosplay and enjoying her hobbies of watching anime and reading manga, yet Perla herself [[{{Chuunibyou}} just doesn't stop acting like she's the real Namiko Moon]], yelling nonsensical stuff about protecting the earth from demons and villains at random times, wearing her cosplay ''all the goddamn time'' despite it being supposed to be a harmless hobby and overall acting like she were an anime character wholeheartedly. All of these can easily make her come across as being a wee-bit creepy LoonyFan.
** Camila from "Amigas por siempre" (Friends Forever) gets heavily hit with this. In spite of suffering her CompulsiveLiar of a boyfriend, Abelardo's abuse, she borders on this trope due to her self-righteous attitude and tendency to blame others for things that either are their fault or have little control of, and as well her blindness to see said [[BastardBoyfriend boyfriend's true nature]] and abuse as well have caused many to quit feeling sorry for her.
** Antonio's father in "Imagina mi cara". While there is some sympathy with his frustration that his son is being bullied in school ''and'' hates that his bully could get away with it due to [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale her gender and how it can be used to her advantage]], his constant insistence that Antonio should fight Carola comes off as borderline caustic. Him throwing homophobic slurs at Antonio for being bullied by a girl doesn't help matters either, coming off as an AbusiveParents at that.

** Robertito from "Volar un Papalote" (Fly a Kite). The poor kid has a crappy life, is bullied and [[MadeOutToBeAJerkass his teacher makes him look like a troublemaker.]] His parents are always bickering [[TheScapegoat and blaming him for every single one of his problems.]] Because nobody ever listens to or cares about him, he falls into depression which eventually [[DrivenToSuicide drives him to attempt suicide]]. Fortunately, he survived, but with grave injuries.

** [[spoiler:The scene of Melisa [[SiblingMurder smothering her baby sister]] with a pillow in "La única princesa".]] For an LRDG episode, this scene is pretty scary, considering the viewer is treated to a first-person shot of the scene until [[NothingIsScarier cutting to black]].

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: In the episode "Mis ojos de luz", the person in charge of asking for the miracle is nothing more and nothing less....than a dog. [[https://youtu.be/NjXBo6M1AIQ?t=194 See it to believe it;]]
