YMMV / Mujer, Casos de la Vida Real

Go To

  • Archive Panic: The show had over twenty-one seasons, and that's not even getting into it's spin off Mujer Casos de la Vida Real: Edision Especial. And considering Televisa's track record with never releasing their shows in physical format, some (in particular the 80s episodes) are considered lost.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Actress Paulina Martell in particular gets this type of praise by viewers mainly due to her reoccuring appearances in the show, always playing an abused child. It also helps she was a huge Moe.
  • Fandom Rivalry: Mujer has this with La Rosa de Guadalupe, with some arguments being made that while Mujer does have good stories, it's unapologetic depressing tone compared to Rosa's So Bad, It's Good and Lighter and Softer tone causes division.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Episodes where Pinal discusses abuse towards minors becomes this when Pinal and Alejandra Guzman (Pinal's daughter) would be called out by Frida Sofia (Pinal's granddaughter and Guzman's daughter) over how her grandfather Enrique Guzmán sexually molested her.
  • Memetic Mutation: The show itself is this for some people mainly due to being considered so traumatic and disturbing for it's imagery.
  • Narm Charm: Mujer tends to be incredibly over the top sometimes with it's violent stories and how horrifying it tends to be, but there's something rather appealing on how blunt it is. It does help that many of the performances the actors give are incredibly well done.
  • Signature Scene:
    • The opening, anybody who grew up in a Latin household will immediately know the show by hearing it's familiar piano notes.
  • Values Resonance: The show itself was rather pro-LGBT and even gave morals about accepting those who are gay. Reminder that these were shown during a time where Mexico was very conservative (and still is, but not to a high degree as it was back then), so it giving positive messages about Gay Acceptance was rather impressive, even in today's society.
