A scene between Coral and Moises went unnoticed on screen, but outside of it it was very curious.

There are too many action sequences. But I have also learned a lot to drive a car at high speed, to jump and fall in a certain way. It has been a lot of fun and very strong,” said Lali Esposito to the respect.

1-The scene of the attack on Gina

The scene where Romeo stabs Gina with a pen in the first episode was the longest of the entire first season. It took two weeks of filming to be able to take the images from different points of view. In addition, the actress was equipped with a special prosthesis to simulate the injury.
