* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: How Maria and Luis Fernando [[spoiler: got their marriage resolved in the final episode. Toward the end of the series, Soraya decides that her next stage of her revenge should be to destroy Maria and Luis Fernando's marriage to do so. She employs Gonzalo to take an extremely drunk Luis Fernando to her house. She strips him naked and has her main chambermaid take pictures of her in various suggestive positions with him while wearing only her nightgown. She then puts the pictures in Luis Fernando's suit jacket pocket, and calls Maria to tell her to look in that spot. Maria sees the pictures and says she wants to divorce Luis Fernando. That same day, she takes the fall for Nana Calixta's murder and is sent to prison. Every time Luis Fernando tries to see Maria, she turns him away and insists she wants a divorce. Luis Fernando finally acquiesces to her wishes. Maria says she will marry Gonzalo. However, just before the divorce process can start, the prison fire happens, and everyone presumes Maria for dead. When Maria is discovered to be alive, Luis Fernando apparently forgets all about the divorce process and searches for Maria. Maria is wandering the streets without memory and gets kidnapped by Soraya. She recovers her memory just as Luis Fernando rescues her. Soraya dies in the cabin fire. It then cuts to the next scene, which is two months later. Luis Fernando and Maria are lucky in love as if none of the previous events have happened. While Maria does briefly mention their "two months of reconciliation," there's very little explanation as to how the tension in their marriage was resolved. How did Luis Fenando explain away the very saucy pictures? How he got to Soraya's in the first place? Etc.]]

* EasilyForgiven - The maid just tried to stab her employer? It's okay, she was just having an off day.
* EightiesHair - On the main cast, only Luis Fernando, but his ex-girlfriend Brenda had huge poofy 80s hair. Surprisingly not a case of TwoDecadesBehind, and actually a JustifiedTrope: his series was from the ''mid-90s'', but a FreezeFrameBonus reveals that Soraya's [[spoiler: pregnancy certificate]] was delivered the 16th of June 1980, which has to be the exact day the events of episode 9 unfold. Therefore, instead of starting at the time of filming in 1995 and ending in a putative, 90s-like 2010, the show started depicting events that would have been a flashback to the eighties and went forward from there organically or through time skips untill it reached the then-present, at the end of filming.
