YMMV / Cómplices al rescate

• Awesome Music:
  • The Theme Song is very good.
  • "Alma Gemela" and "Donde está el Amor" are the best songs of the Silvana album for being surprisingly good and Belinda does a great job in the vocals.
  • Most of the song duets by Belinda and Fabian Chavez in the Mariana Album are considered this, particularly "Sabes" that is as sappy as it sounds but it’s genuinely very sweet.
• Base-Breaking Character:
  • Isabela Junqueira (Silvana Del Valle in the original)is either considered a better developed character than Manuela or she is hated for being too bossy and unpleasant to watch, some literally think she’s a spotlight hog who only gets more screen time than Manuela because of her similarities to the character Maria Joaquina from the Brazilian Remake of Carrusel^note The Twins and Maria Joaquina from their respective remakes are played by the same actress.
  • Manuela Agnes(Mariana Cantú in the original) is appreciated by some viewers for being considered the nicest character of the Brazilian Remake but many people grew to dislike her for being a Flat Character who is almost always Out of Focus despite being one of the protagonists, she became even more of a conflicting character after her and Isabela’s biological father first appeared in the story, making her not much different than Isabela in terms of being rebellious.
• Broken Base:
  • Who is the better main actress? Belinda or Daniela Lujan?
  • The Brazilian 2015 Remake gets a lot of flack for being unfaithful to the source material and because of some changes that are viewed as unnecessary(e.g: Mariana/Manuela’s religious background being changed from Catholic to Protestant and the larger focus on romance and topical themes.)but there are some people who genuinely like the Remake and find it to be enjoyable at its finest.
• Just Here for Godzilla:
  • Most people’s interest in the Mexican original version is because of Belinda’s role as the twins Silvana and Mariana. When Belinda got replaced by Daniela Lujan, the viewership declined.
  • Similarly, the 2015 Remake also fits this trope with many people deciding to only watch it because of the leading actress Larissa Manoela AND her ex boyfriend João Guilherme as they were both dating at the time.
• Romantic Plot Tumor: Rocio and Alberto’s romantic relationship(Rebeca and Otávio in the 2015 remake) is considered this due to its sappy yet always strained nature as it was probably only added in the story to give Rocio a Love Interest and the fact that they’re both adult protagonists certainly doesn’t help matters either.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Chloé(Nadine in the original). She’s shown to be nicer in the 2015 remake and has some depth to her character as she prefers drawing over singing and there’s Ship Tease between her and Omar, unfortunately, she’s very underused in the main plot and is the female child character who gets the least amount of screen time as well.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: The entire main plot falls under this category, this series it is currently the only Mexican soap opera aimed at kids with twin girls as the main characters and there’s a lot of wasted potential since its main plot is very inconsistently written; the series started off with a very interesting concept as the first few episodes of the series are more fun and lighthearted(albeit still dramatic since it’s a Mexican soap opera after all) and have a new retelling of the The Parent Trap plot; identical but socially and essentially different twin sisters get Separated at Birth and end up switching places to help each other achieve their goals after getting reunited again but when Silvana’s dad Rolando dies, Regina becomes inexplicably nastier and more money hungry than usual which makes her trap Silvana in the attic, her brother Gerardo also finds out about the twin switch which leads to him and Regina telling their henchmen to kidnap Mariana for no valid reason other than her being a good singer but then, the main plot suddenly shifts to a Rescue Arc that lasted more than it should have been(which justifies the title of the series but still) and even after Silvana and Mariana are rescued, the series goes through a generic battle of the bands arc that focuses more on Silvana and her new Love Interest Martin instead of her and Mariana(who is supposed to be one of the protagonists)which lasts until the last few episodes and the series also has a rushed ending where Regina is able to escape from the cops.
• Tough Act to Follow: The Brazilian 2015 Remake didn’t have the same success as the Chiquititas and Carrusel’s remakes and is usually regarded as being the "more forgettable one" of the bunch.
• Trapped by Mountain Lions:
  • In the 2015 remake, there’s a subplot involving the rivalry between Catholics and Protestants, it is very unnecessary and feels like it was only included to make a social commentary about the actual feud between both religions.
  • The forbidden romance between the pastor and the priest’s niece feels extremely out of place as well.
• Unexpected Character: Almost nobody expected the biological father of the twins to return in the 2015 Remake.
• Unintentionally Sympathetic: The Italian lady Fiorina from the 2015 remake is a Conservative Catholic who is bigoted towards Protestants and is terribly jealous of her rival Nina getting in the way of her and her husband Giuseppe’s relationship but she’s usually meant to be in the wrong and Nina is usually in the right, even when it doesn’t look like it. This is very notable in the crying saint arc where Nina gets mad at her for having a crying saint in the village and even sneaks into her house to see if it’s actually true, although Fiorina is known for being overly devoted to her faith to the point of annoyance, Nina herself has a history of not respecting other people’s faith either and is very hard to NOT root for Fiorina in this arc.
• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Manuela in the episodes of the 2015 remake that introduces her and Isabela’s biological father, we’re supposed to sympathize with her because she never had a dad and wants her family to be reunited, however, Manuela herself comes off as bitchy and ungrateful as she often tries to unite her mother with her father against her will and completely ignores that he abandoned her own mother when she was pregnant, the fact that she is not involved in the scene where her twin sister Isabela and her own friends confront him, certainly does not help matters.
• What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: Both the Mexican original version and the 2015 Remake are targeted towards children but the main plot involve the twins getting kidnapped, physically and emotionally abused by the main villain Regina, lots of fighting scenes and at least two characters suffer a car accident(Otávio/Alberto and later on Regina).
