Hasta que la plata nos separe

Alejandra Maldonado is a sharp, determined woman from a different social world than Rafael Mendez, a man whose life collides with hers after a dramatic accident. When an enormous debt ties them together, they have to keep crossing paths and negotiating obligations, and what starts as a practical arrangement grows complicated by attraction, suspicion, and tangled loyalties. The show follows their oscillating relationship, the pressures from family and rivals, and the personal mistakes that keep testing how much they can trust one another, without revealing the story’s turning points or finale.

Released in 2022, the series was directed by Israel Sanchez and credits Fernando Gaitán as creator. The production leans on strong casting, with Carmen Villalobos and Sebastián Martínez leading an ensemble that includes Gregorio Pernía, Juliette Pardau, and Fabián Ríos.

The series hasn’t been listed among major international award winners, and there aren’t widely reported global prizes attached to it. Still, it secured solid industry attention in Spanish-speaking markets and maintained a steady profile among viewers and regional critics.

On cultural grounds, the show renewed interest in the classic romantic soap format, prompting conversations about money, pride, and social standing in modern relationships. The pairing of Villalobos and Martínez became a frequent topic on social platforms, and the series kept audiences talking about class tensions and the moral compromises characters make when finances are at stake.

Critics and audiences gave the show favorable marks, reflected in an average rating of 8.115 out of 10 from 261 votes. Reviews tended to highlight the chemistry between the leads, the tension around debt and obligation, and the melodramatic turns that keep plot momentum. Major themes include class differences, jealousy, and the complicated tradeoffs between desire and responsibility.
