Why in the world did María la del barrio end?

Would a María la del barrio reunion disappoint people?

Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Thalía said she's not sure if María la del barrio would work today. “I don't want to see old María Hernández De la Vega,” she told a journalist (Thalía turned 53 in August). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” she added.
Still hoping for a María la del barrio movie?

Co-star Thalía has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a María la del barrio movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
On the subject of whether there could be a María la del barrio film, Ludwika Paleta stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
