Ahhhh you’re one of my favorite blogs and you know about Ek ladki ko dekha toh aisa laga?? I’m so excited absnksmansk

Thank you! Heh, yeah, this wasn’t always 24/7 Juliantina. Just go a month back and I had a very balanced, diversified blog. 😛

One thing I did catch is that it’s banned in Pakistan. Even as mild as it apparently is, it’s still not even going to be allowed. I wonder if that will pique the interest of younger Pakistanis to find some way to watch it, I did see comments on Twitter about how it shouldn’t have been banned and they wanted to see it.

I’m the very out of the loop anon and can I just say I’ve literally never seen lucia before I’m screaming, like I vaguely knew that their dads were connected and that juliantina were basically side characters but I didn’t know souls were switching bodies tf

Omggg, but. Ohhhh, that’s right. They were left out of the compilation clips. No, there was one left in. Um, when they’re in the kitchen talking about love, after Lucho’s a douche (more a douche than usual) and Val kicks him out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BP97riB5sDs&index=25&list=PLZlgNEQJwHcpfxV-v2cskODkCuarU9qfo

Also, she was the stepmom who got kidnapped who Val was so worried about and why she wasn’t allowed to leave the house so Juls had to come over. But I guess she was never actually in those scenes, lol.

ok as someone who just watches the juliantina scenes with English subs: this show is so much more complicated than I thought what the hell, why does everyone keep saying jacobo/leon

Oh, anon. 

Okay, so the show starts with Leon Carvajal, the older gray-haired rich guy, Val’s father, being assassinated at his wedding to Lucia, Val’s stepmom, the pretty blonde lady. At the same time, El Chino, Juliana’s dad, a hitman with dealings with a cartel, is executed. And a third guy, a professor, that tall mustachioed guy, Beltran, is killed in a car accident.

Leon’s body totally dies but his spirit goes into El Chino’s body. This entity now, El Chino’s body holding Leon’s spirit, calls itself Jacobo and goes and gets a job at the Carvajal house and keeps an eye on everything there. That’s why all those moments between Jacobo and Val are so significant. It’s also why he’s trying to avoid Juls, since she knows that body as her deadbeat hitman dad. 

El Chino’s spirit goes into the professor Beltran’s. That’s why he saved Lupe in the hospital and paid her bill and he had those weird reactions to seeing Juls at the hospital. 

Beltran’s spirit passed on, apparently he didn’t need to be redeemed. The point of these people coming back is to use this as a second chance. They have a butterfly tattoo on the back of their necks that starts to bleed when they go back to their shitty old ways. 

There’s obviously a lot more to it, but it’s imperative to know that the show centers on Leon (and Lucia, Val’s stepmom) and El Chino. So their daughters…Leon and El Chino’s, they connect everything.

I dont mean a time jump in the middle I mean val family keeping juls away from her for awhile then maybe juls moves away and then time jump when there are only a few episodes left. I dont know I just have a bad feeling that the show will keep them apart for a while

Well…that might not be so far off. As @dealanexmachina was pointing out to me, they hold all the answers about their fathers between them, so they kind of have to be kept apart until it’s time to move to the final stage.

And another anon:

Saw someone mention that there’s like 16-17 eps left, IF so, my guess is that everyone will spill the tea tomorrow and then we’ll spend next week dealing with it until Friday when something big is probably happening (it’s been the pattern so far) and that’ll leave us with 10 more eps 5 to deal with whatever happens on Friday and 5 to wrap everything up

Well, more like 23 but that’s not so far off. We’re heading into that part of a story three-quarters in when everything starts gathering for the final climax. 

And another anon:

Time jump?? No please they have to reunite first

I would hope they do? I mean, I’ve been wrong, a lot, but that was mostly when I was being pessimistic…

And another anon:

There cant be a timejump so soon right now. Jacobo link with Juls is just getting revealed, the narcos are probably gonna target him since he killed Armenta, theres a picture of him with Beltran. Many plots to untangle right now, a timejump would only make sense in the last 2/3 episodes after everything is resolved and they show how good things are with a timejump

Right, there just seems to be too much plot to cover to just stop it all. 

And another anon:

At the end of the episode did lupe tell Juliana that Jacobo is Leon. I can’t like Juliana is going to know that he’s Leon and Valentina is going to think he’s chino and everything was a setup. This is so much drama but also laughing just thinking of what will happen when they actually communicate with one another to figure everything out.

I don’t think Juliana will believe Lupe, there is a promo where she confronts Jacobo in his hospital bed about being El Chino. But maybe then he’s able to convince her? A lot rides on tomorrow, lol! But no way will they wrap up those revelations this quickly or even next week. 

Ughhh, they’re so damn in the middle of it all, they’re the connection between everything. The cartels, the families, the companies, the billionaire and the hitman. Once they figure everything out, that’s kind of it. So everything rides on them.
