The final episode of a telenovela is always met with sadness by viewers who had grown accustomed to the characters. Adjustments need to be made to fill the now-empty time slot. TV stations understand this concept, and that is why they always bring in a new series. Some fans decide to keep watching a soap opera after a few episodes while others judge it from the pilot episode. Daughters of the Moon (Hijas de la Luna) is an example of a soapie that will keep you glued to your screen.
This light melodrama, written by Bernado Romero Pereiro, follows the story of four sisters, Juana Victoria, Juana Barbara, Juana Soledad, and Juana Ines. Before the commencement of the story, the only link they share is a moon-shaped birthmark.
Hijas de la Luna popularly known as Daughters of the Moon is a story about four sisters: Juana Victoria, Juana Soledad, Juana Bárbara, and Juana Inés.
