Chapter 119 (Um Lugar ao Sol)



Chapter 119 is the last chapter of the TV Globo's soap opera, Um Lugar ao Sol, aired on March 25, 2022.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Christian's revelation that he was impersonating as his late brother Renato for Lara in the hospital scene of this last chapter was despicable, because it was too fast and Lara's reaction was too lukewarm, since the reveal should have been in another previous chapter, not have left it for the last chapter.
 * 2) The reaction of the other characters, such as Santiago's family and Bárbara, upon discovering Christian's hoax was suppressed, which makes this last chapter even worse.
 * 3) Lara and Ravi are a mismatched couple, since it would have been better if Lara had stayed single.
 * 4) Christian's trial where he was sentenced to five years in jail is emotionless and monotonous.
 * 5) Ravi has an accident in this last chapter and is in a coma for five years, mainly because the character has already suffered too much misfortune in the soap opera, as he was already arrested, deceived by his own wife and lived as Christian's doormat, shows Lícia Manzo's hatred for Ravi, despite the character was well received by the public, it's a stab in the heart for the people who liked him.
 * 6) The COVID-19 pandemic was only shown as a short passage and was used by the author to kill Elenice and Teodoro, which is disrespectful.
 * 7) The endings of the secondary characters didn't end well, as the party at Santiago's house was full of dialogue and was just a poorly made quick pass of the end of the saga of the secondary characters.
 * 8) The wigs used by the characters in the passage of time of the plot are poorly made and can't even save the last chapter.
 * 9) Christian's "redemption" in the last scene of the soap opera on the beach is poorly done and you can't call it redemption for him.
 * 10) There is no word The End at the end of this chapter, as Globo's soap operas usually end with the word The End.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The cast's acting is still good.
 * 2) Although the last chapter and the last scene were horrible, it teaches to accept an apology from someone who has done wrong things with true regret, despite the poor execution.

Reception
The last chapter received backlash and a very negative reception from various viewers and critics, due to how turned out and having left Christian's revelation for the last chapter.
