In response to the cancellation of the rebooted Rebelde series, many expressed their unwavering support for the original version. Fans' reactions indeed serve as a testament to the enduring legacy and impact of the original Rebelde series.

For many fans, the charm and nostalgia associated with the original show remain unparalleled, making it difficult for any reboot to surpass or replicate its success. The sentiment reflects a common one among viewers who hold a special place in their hearts for the original iteration of Rebelde and believe that its unique essence cannot be replicated.

Finally, after the cancellation of the reboot series, a few made comments that shed light on a significant aspect: the lack of awareness surrounding the show's existence.

This observation highlights a possible contributing factor to the show's lower viewership and subsequent cancellation. It suggests that the reboot may have struggled to generate significant visibility or capture the attention of a broader audience.

In a crowded landscape of TV shows and streaming options, it can be challenging for a series to break through and gain widespread recognition. The comment underscores the notion that for many viewers, the rebooted version of Rebelde failed to make a significant impact or resonate with audiences who were unaware of its existence.
