The character of Bibi was inspired by Fabiana Escobar, known as "queen of pot".

Plot

Promising lawyer Caio is considered for administration of the Garcia Company, one of the largest in the country. However, when Bibi decides to end their relationship, he leaves everything behind, and relocates to the United States. Fifteen years later, Caio returns to Brazil to take up a position in the judiciary and once again meets Bibi, who failed to complete college and is married to Rubinho. Rubinho goes through a delicate financial condition, as he and Bibi struggle to make ends meet which forces him to enter into the world of crime.

Ruy is prepared to take over the company of his father Eugênio, as the only qualified heir. He is engaged to Cibele, who offers him professional and personal stability. When he travels to Parazinho, he is enchanted by Ritinha, a young woman who loves the fascination she exerts on men, and seems to believe herself to be a mermaid. She continues a game of seduction with Ruy despite being engaged to Zeca, a truck driver who loves her intensely despite the gossips about her activities. On the day of their wedding he learns of Ritinha's fling with Ruy. Fearing for her life, Ritinha runs away with Ruy while Zeca angrily leaves Parazinho. In another town, Zeca meets Jeiza, a police officer who dreams of becoming a mixed martial arts fighter.

Meanwhile, Ruy's brother Ivan (previously Ivana) has been undergoing female to male gender reassignment, causing conflict with their mother, Joyce. Joyce's relationship with Eugênio begins to crumble when he meets Irene, a seductive woman who tries to break their marriage. Eugênio's older brother Eurico tries to keep everyone under his control, though he can't control the gambling addiction of his wife Silvana.

Controversies

= The state of Pará =

Since its debut, the telenovela received criticism for not using the northeastern accents in the state of Pará and the depiction of the state, such as the existence of an aquarium located in Ver-o-Peso. There were varied opinions among the viewers, especially those from Pará. Rede Globo and show's creator Glória Perez argued that the show was not set in the capital of Pará but in the fictional city of Parazinho and that the work of fiction has no commitment to be true to reality.{{cite web|url=http://www.opovo.com.br/divirtase/2017/04/paraenses-criticam-nordestinacao-do-para-em-a-forca-do-querer.html|title=Paraenses criticam nordestinação do Pará em A Força do Querer|work=O Povo|language=pt|access-date=13 October 2017|archive-date=29 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170629225405/http://www.opovo.com.br/divirtase/2017/04/paraenses-criticam-nordestinacao-do-para-em-a-forca-do-querer.html|url-status=dead}}

= Accusations on glamorization of drug trafficking =

The fact that the plot touches on drug trafficking and other crime aroused the idea that the telenovela was unapologetic to such. The show received a flurry of criticism, mainly by evangelists and conservatives.{{cite web|url=https://www.terra.com.br/diversao/tv/blog-sala-de-tv/acha-mesmo-que-novela-transforma-uma-pessoa-em-bandido,8343e0c62cc38b4a56197235ac7a27c9t0onos6c.html|title=Acha mesmo que novela transforma uma pessoa em bandido?|access-date=13 October 2017|language=pt}} Pastor and Deputy Marco Feliciano said that, "Rede Globo offered a course for banditry".{{cite web|url=https://noticias.gospelmais.com.br/feliciano-globo-curso-bandido-a-forca-do-querer-92654.html|title=Marco Feliciano ataca a Globo e diz que emissora promove "curso para bandido" na novela A Força do Querer|work=Noticias|date=15 September 2017 |language=pt}} Showrunner Glória Perez responded to the accusations: {{blockquote|It is something of people to want to put reality under the rug. Bibi became a thug. She is not the trafficker, but she is prosecuted by association with trafficking. Do you see glamour in that? The plot brings an ethical police, quite different from how it is traditionally shown in Brazilian dramas. These people [critics] make me sleepy.{{cite web|title=Glória Perez nega glamourização do tráfico em A Força do Querer: "Essa gente me dá sono"|url=https://observatoriodatelevisao.bol.uol.com.br/noticia-da-tv/2017/09/gloria-perez-nega-glamourizacao-do-trafico-em-a-forca-do-querer-essa-gente-me-da-sono|access-date=13 October 2017|date=September 2017}}}}

= Transexuality =

Before the debut of the telenovela, the subject of transexuality was already causing controversy. Catholic organizations asked that Globo not allow this theme in the show.{{cite web|url=http://blog.opovo.com.br/ancoradouro/bispo-conclama-tsunami-de-e-mails-para-stf-e-tv-globo-contra-aborto-e-ideologia-de-genero/|title=Bispo conclama 'tsunami' de e-mails para STF e TV Globo contra Aborto e Ideologia de Gênero|access-date=13 October 2017|language=pt|archive-date=12 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171012095131/http://blog.opovo.com.br/ancoradouro/bispo-conclama-tsunami-de-e-mails-para-stf-e-tv-globo-contra-aborto-e-ideologia-de-genero/|url-status=dead}} The theme about gender identity, addressed in the plot by the character Ivan was also not accepted by a portion of the audience, among them also evangelists and conservatives.
