Didn't the Chilean Lola wear a one piece swimsuit in an episode?
The Peru Lola dresses like he wants it bad.

The last episode is near. I'm guessing it's going to take the usual
way out and have him stay in his woman body? Lame.

I disagree. The good people in Peru are doing "Lalola", not some
generic TG story. Anyone who does Lalola should do Lalola
faithfully. If one were doing, say, Treasure Island, would some
people feel it was lame that Jim Hawkins takes his treasure back to
his mother and that scalywag John Silver sneaks away with his share
to live another day? Maybe, just to be "fresher," they should have
Jim thrown to the sharks, which incites Ben Gunn to cut Silver's
throat in revenge?
As given to us, Lalola is the best tg story ever written, and its
whole development leads logically to its cheerful and heartwarming
ending. Almost every other tg story is a borefest that ends with
the guy getting changed back, his experience pointless. This is the
circular writing of the wornout sitcom technique; if one wants
something lame, that's "lame." There are things that most viewers
want from a retelling of Laola. They want it to be about a man who
doesn't want to be a woman but becomes one, has a romantic and
amusing time living the life of one, and in the end has a choice of
going back or not going back, and decides that it will be better
for him, personally, to continue to live and love as a woman. As
long as the story is called "Lalola" that is how the story is
supposed to end. Why turn a classic into a piece of hackwork? Just
like I don't want Hawkins to go to the sharks, I don't want Lola to
become Lalo again. The story is better that way.
The worst retellings of Lalola have been those that have mucked up
the ending. "Ele e Ela" took indecent liberties with the story,
especially the ending, and that disaster lasted only some 28
episodes. People who don't care for the traditional ending of
Lalola are free to watch other shows (there's lots of awful tg out
there). But the Laola story is seamless robe made, one from
craftmanship at its best, and this fan likes it just the way that
the genius of Argentine TV created it to be.
I hope Mexico actually does do its own Laola story, and that they
do it in the tried and true way, the romantic tale that has pleased
audiences across the world. After all, there is lots of life in
Treasure Island and Lalola even yet.

Totally agree with Scipio. Ele e Ela was sooooooo disappointing. To
top it off they couldn't even decide on 1 ending. They actually had
2 that they posted online. :::sigh:::
I haven't heard anything about Mexico in a long time. They probably
aren't making it. Just like the U.S.

I agree with guest, but to each their own. I prefer the Chilean
version of Lola better than the LaLola versions.

I know it's a fictional tv show but I just don't understand how a
man can just throw away his manhood like that. I can understand if
you're transgender but if you're not, it just doesn't make sense.
You're basically saying goodbye to your penis and saying hello to
periods and pregnancy. I honestly don't know how the Lalo character
deals with it knowing that he use to be a man and now he's a woman
letting a man insert his penis in your vagina now. It's weird. I
just think there should be a level playing field in the Lalola
universe. There should be more Lalolas where the Lalo wants to go
back to being a man and gets with the Grace character and has sex
with her finally.

Robbie, I'm sorry that this show doesn't meet your expectations but
it's a modeled telenovela. All the other regions basically buy the
model and then adapt the scripts to fit their culture but the
premise usually remains the same. There is a basic story structure
that they follow and that's revolved around a romance. YOu can't
have a romance if the protagonist constantly rejects the love
interest. That's why the main character adapts to being a woman.
Now in the Brazil adaptation the culture agrees that a man becoming
a woman is weird and that's why Lola doesn't follow the original
model. Portugal also went that route.
The only thing that I can say to counter the argument that "it's
weird" is that men and women have different brain chemistry. Lalo
has memories of being a man but is essentially a heterosexual woman
biologically. Why is that such a difficult premise to grasp? It may
not be to your taste but it's logical. Now if Lalo was forced to
have a SRS I'd find that hard to believe.

Guest 2, I prefer Lola because I feel it is a better body swap
story line. I enjoy how each episode of Lola deals with the curse
and Lalo's quest to get back to his original body. It is also a
very powerful love story and to me much more in depth than LaLola.
LaLola has the protagonist turn into a woman and then slowly fall
in love and ultimately reject his old life when he has the chance
to go back. That's pretty much the whole story. Lola is much more
logical. Lalo is turned into a woman, is horrified, tries to get
back and discovers Estrella has "died". He then tries to adapt,
sees a psychiatrist, falls for Gonzalo (kind of), moves in with
him, moves out, has to come to terms with the change with his
mother and father, spurns Grace etc. He even starts to enjoy being
a woman until Grace has an intervention with him. He then meets
Pepa in his old body and there's another whole twist to the story
as they both try to get back to the bodies together. Lalo then has
to deal with her abusive boyfriend, attempts to marry Pepa, has the
curse reversed twice during the process and the second time back
discovers his body is pregnant thanks to Pepa having some fun when
they switched. He then has to deal with pregnancy and the ultimate
knowledge that he will not go back to his body. Grace even asks him
at one point as to why he just doesn't accept this, and be happy?
I'd agree the production values are not as good as some of the
LaLola adaptations, but with my general understanding of spanish, I
just found the Chilean version to be much more enjoyable to my
tastes for the reasons mentioned above. I do of course understand
why people may disagree with me and prefer LaLola.

So I guess the Lalola story says that your soul does not have a
certain sexual orientation and that your sexual orientation is
decided by the body you're in? Lalo has memories of inserting his
unit into women and then all of a sudden he's in a woman's body and
wants a man's unit inside of him? I just wish there would be some
discussion of that in the story. Lalo should at least acknowledge
that he use to have a unit and use to insert it into women. The
Chilean version would have been better if we had seen Lola in more
sexy dresses and skirts. I know he didn't like men but he could
have used his sexy female body to his advantage. It would have been
awesome to seen him in his Lola body in some lingerie and heels or
a dress at a club.

Lalo is different from the other series because it was made for a
TV station owned by a Catholic University, so they had to stick to
a somewhat strict interpretation of what was acceptable. While they
don't outright condemn homosexuality, they couldn't't have the main
character turning gay, and they considered that irrespective of the
body, the soul was that of a man, so he couldn't end up with
another guy.
So they had the body be heterosexual and have urges to be with a
guy, but internally, Lola always felt it was wrong. They didn't
even have him/her "cave in", but instead made him have a lot of
dreams kissing the male interest (which always ended up in him
waking up horrified) and then having him think that he was
dreaming. He went and kissed the other guy voluntarily, because he
thought that that way he would wake up, never because he
surrendered to the temptation of the body. Lola became mortified
when he realized he wasn't dreaming.
It's funny, though, because they had no problem with Lola kissing
another guy, but they couldn't show him kissing his girlfriend,
because physically that was gay, so they had those off-screen, and
with a lot of hesitation from his girlfriend's part.
To me, the continuing resistance by Lalo kept the TG theme alive,
while in the others it became almost irrelevant. Except for some
comedic laughs here and there because of the character's
inexperience with being a woman, they became just regular soaps.
The Chilean version had the entire quest to return to normal and
the tension derived from how much giving in to the new identity and
how much to retain of your old self.

Wise words and very true. I just think it was a shame that the
Chilean Lola wasn't allowed to dress up in short dresses or skirt
suits. I know he fought his transformation but he should have used
his female body to his advantage more often. He only used his
female body to his advantage maybe a handful of times.

I have to say that I've with Guest 2 and Scipio. You hit the nail
on the head, Guest 2. But I'd go further to say that not only a
biological change, but also an emotional change had been part of
the magical spell. So much of the discomfort about Lola accepting
to consort with guys would go away if the premise of the show was
really understood. Lola has the full compliment of female emotions
and drives. The conflict inside her comes from her memory of her
old likes and Lalo's old behaviorial patterns, not from from any
misorientation of orientation in her present shape. It just takes
her time to get used to the reality of how much of a woman she
really is.
I've read about reincarnation and the belief is that differentiated
male and female souls do not exist. Souls are dually sexual and can
act in either male or female patterns. This pattern is usually
consistant with the physical sex of birth. (In Lola's case, magic
has made the female pattern become dominant). Hynotic regressions
confirm that normal lives as males and normal lives as females are
routine for each soul.
The way that the original LLL went was smartest way to go, in order
to please the greatest number of the audience. It was aimed at
middle class female viewers, who were pleased to see one used to
being a man experience a life like theirs, and (by eventually
embracing it) affirm the worth of that sort of life. This may be a
hard POV to get across because the readers of this forum are very
far from the mindset of middle class women (who enjoy a classic
office romance story, including this one with its unique and
amusing twist). Where women are still struggling for full status in
the male world of business Lalola will be most popular (which
leaves out the US). .
Guest 2, are you sure that Brazil ever had a Lalola show of its
own? I've never found a trace of it. You don't seem to be confusing
it with the Portuguese Ele E Ela, so where can we get information
about this other show? Are there any viewable videos on the net? By
the way, the alternate ending of EEE ,where she stays female, could
not please even its fans who wished she'd smarten up and enjoy her
life more, because there was no likelihood she could ever make that
choice. The whole show was about her gloom at her fate. That never
changed to the very end. (Silly people; if LLL is not done as an
optimistic romance, it is nothing at all. If it doesn't affirm
womanhood, what is the point of it all?) For a show that had gone
so far wrong, the FTM choice EEE made was the only rational one.
The LLL viewer's satisfaction comes from seeing what a wonderful
woman Lola evolves into, and knowing that she will indeed have much
to give and much to receive is she says female. I don't know how
the Peru show will end, but so far they have been dead-on upon the
right track. It will it would be illogical if she made the same
choice that Juliet in Portugal or Lola in Chile made. Their choices
had been long forshadowed.

I'm probably confusing Brazil with Chile. I was trying to refer to
Lola.

Post #76, are you speaking of the Peru show? If so, you're saying
is actually good news to a Laola fan. I wanted such a great lady to
be happy and she has chosen the best way to do it. I assume you are
also saying that the final show of the series has been run. Too bad
it ends so soon; I had hoped it would run over 200 shows, like some
others had. But now that we know its a good show with a good,
logical ending, I'm ready to pay for the DVDs, if any ever come out
with English.
People, was the last show of Margosha last year the announced end
of the series? Probaby, but I have always hoped not. They ran a
year longer than most LLL shows (240 episodes), why not a 4th
season? Picking what a lot of fans would call the wrong man could
lead to a lot of anguish for Margo and a lot of story
possibilities.

So after so long i am going to try and revive this thread. Most of
the Lalola Peru episodes were deleted from youtube. Does anyone
know where they are available online? Doesn't really need to be
subbed or HD.
