The show is often called the “Latin American High School Musical”. It became popular with teens across the Americas (US included due to its airing on MTV's Spanish language channel MTV Tr3s). It became a #1 hit in its demographic in over 23 countries its first season. The Los Angeles Times called the interest in the show and its cast members “Isa-mania”. In 2008 Reinaldo was awarded “Actor of the Year” at Nickelodeon Brazil’s “Meus Premios Nick” Awards. He got the same award in 2010 at the Kids Choice Awards Mexico. That Zavarce’s real-life girlfriend was (and is) his co-star made people even more interested in Reinaldo. It has kept them both on the covers of some of the biggest magazines across Latin America and Brazil.
