* ''Series/ElPecadoDeOyuki'' ("Oyuki´s Sin" in Spanish), based on a mexican comic written by Yolanda Vargas Dulché, relates about a Japanese geisha falling in love with a British main in XIX century. Despite its good intentions and the help from some Japanese culture groups to recreate Japanese life, customs and clothes, there were enough 'YellowFace' (the most of the Japanese characters were Mexican actors, to the point that actor Ana Martin damaged her eyes due to the makeup effects to make her eyes look "japanese") and enough errors over traditions to make the Japanese Embassy to ask Televisa to not show the telenovela in TV again.

* ''Series/NadaPersonal'' ("Nothing Personal"). Made in TheNineties. Noteworthy only because it was the first Mexican soap to try and deal with then-current national politics. Famous for the marketing campaign that sold the novel with Main/SexSells by showing steamy scenes between the main characters, and also by the use of Main/MagicPlasticSurgery when the main actress left the telenovela.

* ''[[Series/DosMujeresUnCamino Dos mujeres, un camino]]'' ("Two Women, One Road"): Starring Erik Estrada of ''Series/CHiPs'' fame as Johnny, a married Tijuana truck driver who travels frequently between Mexico and the United States. Set against the backdrop of the then-new NAFTA in the early 90s. Although Johnny is in love with his wife, he falls for a beautiful young waitress named Tanya who does not initially know that he is married. Estrada, who was already popular among English-speaking audiences, was catapulted to further fame in Latin America. Known for having three music songs with the same title but sang from the point of the three main characters: its theme song featuring Mexican band Bronco is about the point of view of Johnny[[note]]whose music video, which is [[VideoFullOfFilmClips comprised of clips from the telenovela]], makes Estrada have the [[OvertlyNarrowSuperlative very odd distinction]] of having appeared both in a music video for both Bronco and the vastly-different Music/ButtholeSurfers, having appeared in "Pepper",[[/note]] , while Laura Leon and Bibi Gaytan songs are around the point of view of their characters. Also this telenovela features the only appearance of Mexican-American Tejano singer Selena in Mexican media shortly before her murder in 1995.
