- The shanty-town environment is changed to a working-class neighborhood common in Madrid.[5]
- The motivations of the protagonist of the Spanish version is love, while in the Colombian series it was ambition.[5]
- Catalina's friends are cold and cunning in the Colombian version whereas in the Spanish version they are candid and naïf; similarly, Catalina's mother is driven by ambition in the Colombian version whereas she comes up as selfless and pretty much an archetype of perfect mother in the Spanish version.[5]
