I mean, they’re releasing cut scenes, they have a Juliantina only section on their site, an increasing number of the post-ep summary cuts are about Juliantina, even in the eps when more important stories are happening, they’re releasing exclusive little clips with the actresses… I think they’ve definitely noticed the response, lol.
Can you link me to a video of the scene where val’s hugging her and saying mi amor? I had to skip a couple of eps bc I watched too late and they were blocked in my country by the time I got around to watching

Lucho’s being terrible near the beginning, just a heads up.
they’re making a Hanna show?!? will it have precious young wlws, is that why I’m seein it on your blog? although idk i feel like cate and Saoirse were what made it so great
Oh, I don’t know if it will be f/f, 2% of the things I post are not. Mireille is pretty great and she’s playing Marissa kind of differently from how Cate did but Saoirse really made it and yeah, watching the first ep mostly just made me want to rewatch the movie (which I then did).
I dunno if they’ll expand on the Hanna/Sophie or not, but the first ep had Hanna stumble on some teen boy out in the wilderness and they became friendly so.
So the second time Juliana and val see each other you can see that Juliana’s has decided to stay away from Valentina since they’re so different and yet that lasted seconds, do you think juls has the will to stay away from Valentina?
Noooope. Lol.
I like that you mentioned that second meeting, how after realizing that the pretty, sad girl she lowered her guard for was actually one of the mega-rich she was like, oh, that’s over, because she was noticeably aloof when Val popped up again. But of course Val got through to her because she’s very persuasive. 😛
The thing is, this time Juls is staying away not for her own self-preservation but because of Val. And that’s going to make it a lot harder for her to give in.
Some people act like Juls is some immutable all-knowing character whose inconsistent behavior is a sign of moral failings and not simply a person reacting to new stimuli. She’s learning and experiencing so many things and yes, they’re affecting her. Val’s in a similar position, but not the same.
The way the story was set up, it had to go like this. Val could never have been the one to break up, not when people have spent the whole of their relationship telling both of them Juls wasn’t good enough for Val. Not rich enough, not safe enough, not male enough (there isn’t even a single person on Juls’s side who knows who could make the same argument). If Val had made that decision, the blow to their relationship and to Juls would have been catastrophic. Only one of them is seen as selfish–by herself even–for pursuing the relationship and it’s not Val.
From that second meeting onward, Juls has spent every stage of their relationship, friendship or more, feeling like not enough and ready to bail. When she’s with Val and voices those concerns, on her own behalf, Val addresses them and it works. But even Val can’t argue her out of them when it’s for Val’s own sake.
It’s not going to be a matter of can Juls stay away from Val, it’s how much will everything around them let them be together and how much can Juls grow to accept she deserves a chance to be with Val.
Hey I have a very important question! That night when Val couldn’t sleep and Juls told her a story on the phone about when she was a kid? She said her dad was super sweet with her and all. Since she lied about him being an electrician too I was wondering what you thought about that story since I don’t think “El Chino” would be that kinda guy. It’s been bugging me to know if she made that story up just for Val or not
And another ask:
Do you think the story Juls told Val when they were on the phone and Val couldn’t sleep was true? About the best day ever with her dad? Bc I can’t imagine Chino el sicario doing that. But then we see Chino in Beltran’s body playing with Beltran’s son and i wonder…
My original reaction was to believe her, that it was in fact one of the only sweet moments in her life with a man she did not have many with and remembered for that reason alone, but I’m a gullible dumbass so I don’t really know.
We know Chino sucks but is capable of some acts of decency.
On the one hand, I’m like, she could have just told any number of true stories with Lupe, if she was going to make up something, wouldn’t it be better? But on the other, maybe she doesn’t have many better stories with Lupe or didn’t want to give up anything too personal.
Either way, it’s sad as hell. One of the many plots coming up has to be Juls finding out who Beltran is and talking things through with him, maybe we’ll see more details of her childhood.
