In this squeal, for the most first half we are left wondering if Dani is loyal to la voz as carmen tries to prove herself to la voz and herself. The rash actions lead to frustrating situations which added to tension and showcase characters flaws and emotions. I personally became frustrated with carmen and la voz <spolier forward on> even with the reveal of a traitor/double agent. I guess it became more focused on the romance, which was fine and enjoyable for me, but it became more character base and I didn't really like all the misunderstandings and anxiet  between characters that much. I mean, this added to the drama which is fun for the story but I don't completely like all the characters.  And the ending kind of felt rushed. Actually, after the mistake at the party, everything seemed too quick to me. Like let's get this revolution handled with so that these 2 can end up together, hopefully. Still enjoyed it.
