Curiosities

* Audience records: the Chapter that Mirna (Fernanda Souza) throw the villain Cristina (Flávia Alessandra) in a pigsty and she rubs her face in mud, it had 48 points of audience and 70% of share. Another big audience happens, the telenovela is going to end, when devil Debora (Ana Lúcia Torre) tries to murder Rafael (Eduardo Moscovis), putting poison in his juice, but who takes it and die is herself. But the most watched chapter was the last, going to 56 points.

* Walcyr Carrasco was invited after Chocolate com Pimenta ended, by Globo's direction, They asked him: "what's your next telenovela?".

* Main point to Ana Lúcia Torre and Flávia Alessandra actuations es the devil villains Débora e Cristina, in a care performance. No-one even saw in a telenovela, mother and daughter in a "so perfect sithony" to make wicked things.

* Main point to last chapter, although primary characters' death, it thrilled the public.

* The text recited in the end is of authory of Harvey Spencer Lewis, XX century mistic.

* And a last main point to comic scenes, like those in Divina's Boarding house. And the scenes in Mirna (Fernanda Souza), Crispim (Emílio Orciollo Netto) and Bernardo (Emiliano Queiroz) ranch. To finish, Olivia(Drica Moraes) and Vitório (Malvino Salvador), who hidden a great love behind their fights.
