Editorial Review:
Maria Ines and Alejandro haven't seen each other in 7 years. During this time Maria Ines was searching for her happiness. She decided to marry Jeronimo Cardenas, a doctor. In the meantime, Alejandro, her ex-boyfriend, has become an internationally acclaimed author. He is still living in Spain with Alex, his only son, and Veronica, his girlfriend. Alejandro returns back to Mexico to receive an important award for his book. Ignacio, the successful lawyer and former husband of Maria Ines, is about to be appointed candidate to the Senate. His entire world crashes when he discovers that Daniela is cheating on him. Ignacio cannot believe his second wife was capable of such betrayal. One day, Maria Ines visits the grave of her best friend and meets Alejandro there. Their old feelings are unleashed again. Maria Ines has to decide between the gentle Jeronimo's love or Alejandro's passion.
Han pasado siete años desde la última vez que María Inés y Alejandro se prodigaron un adiós que ha resultado largo. "Un largo adiós" es una novela que Alejandro ha escrito y que ha resultado ganadora de un premio internacional.
Alejandro se entera del premio en Barcelona, en donde vive con su hijo Alex, el mismo día en que María Inés se esta casando con el doctor Jerónimo Cárdenas.
La boda congrega a todos, incluyendo a sus tres hijos: Andrés, que viene de París; Mónica, con su hijo Diego y Adriana, tan ávida de poder. También a Mamalena, feliz de ver a María Inés hacer "lo que se debe hacer". Ignacio, el ex marido y ahora casi amigo también es parte de la reunión.
A la dicha se suma la tragedia, Mónica muere en un accidente.
Durante el luto de su hija se reencuentran María Inés y Alejandro, quien ha venido por su premio y decide quedarse por el amor de su vida.
Una mujer casada que habrá de luchar y sucumbir ante aquel amor que nunca terminó y se mantuvo en un largo adiós.
El regreso se da, detrás de esa mirada de mujer.
First, the plot. María Inés and Alejandro have not seen each other in six years. He lives with his son, Alex, and girlfriend in Spain. He is now a celebrated author and is coming back to México to receive an award for his novel "Un Largo adiós" (A long goodbye). María Inés is the owner of a nursery where she sells her plants. She is successful, happy, has a good relationship with her ex-husband, and is about to marry a good man, Jerónimo. Tragedy strikes, and an inconsolable María visits Paulina's grave and finds...Alejandro! Ah, the sparks fly, the love is there. And you will be at the edge of your seat screaming "kiss her you idiot!" And this all happens in the first few chapters! Well, it all goes downhill from there. The telenovela then proceeds to introduce all the children, now grown ups, of the main characters of the original "Mirada de Mujer". And boy, do they have problems! Drugs, abuse, violence, crime...you name it. The telenovela focuses on them and not on what we really want...María Inés and Alejandro. The few precious moments that we get them in our screen are priceless. The dialogue is not the same, but at least it is decent.
The acting of all these people (honestly, way too many characters), is pretty good and convincing. Save a few that were over the top, our favorite characters return and deliver a fine performance.
The story fell into the traps of the cheesiness and the overdone, over the top quality of most telenovelas. The story was not about María Inés and Alejandro, it was about the offsprings of María, Rosario, Consuelo, Paulina, etc.... The focus of the telenovela was another, it wanted to be flashy, have a mob-like story, fights, gun battles, police....Who cares?! We just wanted María Inés and Alejandro. And every time María and Alejandro are together, the fine performance of these actors convinces us beyond a doubt that this is one of the best love stories ever told. The chemistry is there, the fine performances are perfect and their characters are memorable. Why do they insist on keeping them apart?! María and Alejandro will have to fight against their families, circumstances, social rules and many other things if they want to finally be happy.
Regardless, I understand that edited versions will never be like watching the original version...but, do they have to cut so much? And cut key scenes? Well they do. At least it is not the editing crime that was done with the first Mirada de Mujer.

Not as good as the first, definitely not even close
Whereas Mirada de Mujer was phenomenal, perfect, inspiring and exceptional...this is not. I was very excited when I heard there was going to be a sequel. We would finally get to know what happened to our beloved characters. Well, a different set of writers later we get...just a telenovela.

Duplication on DVD
Although it was good to see both Mirada de Mujer and Mirada de Mujer, El Regreso. The "el regeso" DVD had a duplicate chapter. Chapter 10 and 12 where the same, prossibly a production issue. There were also so many new charater's in the "el regeso" DVD sometimes it was hard to follow. 2008-06-08
