However, I liked only having 23 episodes. This all happens in 23 episodes so sometimes you wish that the writers had developed the storyline a bit more. She goes from a girl in school wanting to have larger breasts to have more money to a well paid prostitute and then a woman who suffers from an infection in her breasts which causes her to loose everything she has and finally she commits suicide in the last episode. When I said sometimes it felt rushed was that towards the end everything happens really fast.

This telenovela was originally a book and then a movie before they choose to convert it into a telenovela so maybe that had something to do with their decision? The writer of the book had some say in the development of the telenovela and his main wish was to teach the Colombian public that their obsession with beauty affected young women in a negative way so maybe 23 episodes was just enough to accomplish this. I honestly have no clue why they only choose to do 23 episodes. By comparing these two versions, the viewer can clearly see that sometimes less is more. The original version had been a hit in Colombia with only 23 episodes.The extra fluff ruined the plot and the message the writer was trying to portray in the original version was not properly showcased in this second version. More than 152 episodes were added in order to make the proper telenovela length, but many viewers that has watched the original version felt that those episodes were not necessary for its success in the United States. A horrible and unnecessary storyline was added because it was doing so well in the United States. For example, Sin Senos No Hay Paraiso added a lot more episodes when it was remade by Telemundo, but I could not watch the middle. I feel that 23 episodes is just enough when one compares it to the other versions that have been made. It is up to the viewer to decide whether Sin Tetas No Hay Paraiso is a telenovela or just a series. Although more than 23 episodes would have been nice because at times this telenovela felt rushed, I applaud the network and the production team for abstaining from adding more episodes. Even if a novela is doing well, the episodes should be kept to just the necessary number to tell an interesting and complete storyline. As a result, the audience usually becomes bored in the middle of production. They turn out to be filler episodes with no real purpose in the storyline besides making it longer. InĬontrast, I feel that sometimes the 120 or more episodes are not needed. That it goes straight to the point and keeps the viewer captured through the whole telenovela. In my opinion, this should be called a telenovela.

This brings to question whether this production can be called a telenovela at all or whether it should be described as a short series based on a book. Although this was one of the best rated telenovelas at the time it was aired and its popularity remained throughout its broadcast, the production only lasted for about 23 episodes. What I find very interesting is that this common sense formula was not followed in Sin Tetas No Hay Paraiso. If the telenovela is doing well in ratings then the network might extend the storyline, but on the other hand if the telenovela is a complete flop then the network will try to end it as soon as possible to cut its losses. Usually a telenovela is on air for about 120 episodes or more depending on the reception of the audience. A telenovela has a number of guidelines to which to follow, one of those guidelines includes the length of the telenovela.
