Season 1 became a massive hit because it blended classic telenovela romance with brutal crime-thriller storytelling. Many viewers praised Bárbara de Regil for her emotionally intense performance and action scenes. The series is actually inspired by the famous Colombian novel Rosario Tijeras written by Jorge Franco, which was later adapted into films and multiple TV versions. Fans especially loved how unpredictable the show was — major characters could die unexpectedly, which kept audiences constantly shocked and emotionally invested. On Reddit and fan forums, many viewers called Season 1 the strongest season because it felt the most realistic and emotionally raw.

One little-known fact is that the nickname “Tijeras” (“Scissors”) is directly connected to Rosario’s traumatic childhood and one of the show’s most brutal revenge moments involving a pair of scissors — a scene that became iconic among fans. Another interesting detail is that the original story was inspired by real-life violence and gang culture in Colombia during the late 1980s and 1990s.
