4. Beatriz Aurora Pinzón Solano, is an unattractive, but very intelligent woman working for the Eco Moda company. Betty constantly faces the scorn of her prettier workmates, but eventually is promoted to a senior job, becomes romantically involved with her boss,(armando mendoza) and receives a grooming makeover.
Yo Soy Betty La Fea was obviously a money-generating machine for its producers. Nevertheless, the story had to reach its end since the cast had been working without pause for eighteen months. A sequel is being planned, although there are no details. In the case of the USA, Betty La Fea appeared on the Telemundo network and was largely responsible for bringing up its ratings. The rights to the sequel have already been given to its rival, the Univision network.
As business cynics, we suggest that the plotline of the sequel might be this: Betty contemplates the ugliness of the reality of her marriage and career, and makes some important and surprising personal decisions. That should resonate with the chords of quite a few hearts out there ...
Although graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in economics and master’s degree in finance, and fluent in English and French, Betty has been unable to secure a job interview, because, she claims, her ugly photograph ruins her otherwise impressive résumé. Tired of unsuccessfully searching for a job matching her education and experience, she applies to be the secretary to the president of the fashion company Eco Moda, but sends her résumé without a photograph, in hopes of securing an interview; however, that job was given to an inexperienced, university drop-out, but very attractive Patricia Fernández, who happens to be best girlfriend of the president’s fiancée, Marcela Valencia.
Armando Mendoza, Eco Moda’s new president, is the smart, handsome, and well educated son of one of the company's two, owner-founders. He is engaged to Marcela Valencia, daughter of the other company founder, who also holds a high position in Eco Moda. Armando refuses Patricia as his secretary, assuming Marcela wants her to spy on him, given his womanizer's reputation, so, he urges the hiring of another candidate with the most desired requirements; he hires Betty and Patricia as his secretaries, after Marcela pressured him, arguing that the company president could not have an ugly secretary representing him.
Since there is no available office for Betty, she occupies a store room in back of Armando’s office, while Patricia receives the prime public spot; nevertheless, Betty is in charge of the most important task, proving to Armando how intelligent, versatile, and well educated she is, and daily gaining more responsibilities, becoming essential to Armando’s risky, new business plan for Eco Moda.

"Corazón Salvaje" (Savage Heart) is a classic novela that takes place in the 1800's in Mexico's Beautiful eastern coast and tells the story of four people entangled in a web of ironic fate, hurt and intense love. Juan del Diablo, is a passionate young man who lives alone by the edge of the sea and defends the rights of the poor. Juan loves Aimeé de Altamira, a socialite who uses Juan to upset her family. Aimeé breaks Juan's heart by marrying Andrés Alcázar, a handsome and arrogant aristocrat. In a simple twist of fate, Aimeé's older sister Mónica marries Juan to escape the hurt and humiliation of her broken engagement to Andrés. Juan begins to fall deeply in love with Mónica who struggles to erase the memory of her ex-fiancee. Juan and Mónica's marriage is tested when their past loves, Aimeé and Andrés, begin to show renewed interest.
I have to say, that this is probably the most romantic telenovela I’ve ever watched. The cast was great, the story …. Well, I have nothing to say but splendid. The romance between Juan and Monica was so delicately pure and erotic. The way they explored each other sensuality, and Monica was so innocently naïve that Juan can’t take his hands off her. In the end, when he had the option to choose between Monica and Aimee (his first love), without a doubt, he chose Monica. And he showed the cutest way of being jealous with Andres, Monica’s ex fiancée, whenever he was with her. And Juan wasn’t afraid to show Monica how deeply he had fallen in love to her. Totally a must see telenovela….

This comedy is about a man named Ramiro "Lalo" Padilla (Juan Gil Navarro), who is the director of the media company High Five, editor of the famous magazine Don, and has many women around him. Romina (Marcela Kloosterboer), who is in love with Lalo, decides to avenge his lack of commitment by hiring a witch, who has him undergo a spell and turns him into a very beautiful woman, as Romina wanted to make him feel so desperate like a woman who is being harassed.
Now, this man locked in a woman's body tries to pass himself off as someone else, because nobody will believe that he's suffered metamorphosis. So, she enters the company as Dolores "Lola" Padilla (Carla Peterson), cousin of Lalo, because Lalo "had to make an urgent trip to Germany because his father became ill", and therefore left her in his post.
From this start, very funny situations happen, in which Lalo begins to discover Grace (Muriel Santa Ana), her best friend, and all the things that make women different from men: using heels, wearing skirts, menstruation, and so on. Gradually, she notices some people who were with Lalo, including his best friend, Gaston (Rafael Ferro). Without realizing it, she starts to get closer to coworker Facundo (Luciano Castro) and falls in love.
The first time I saw Lalola, I was so captured by the storyline of this telenovela. Lola was very funny on expressing the man inside a woman’s body, how she expressed the difficulty of being a woman. Not to mention the hottest way Lola and Facundo denying their attraction towards each other.
Luciano Castro who played Facundo, was so really hot, that he was the only reason I stay tuned to this telenovela, of course among other reason… But to be honest, Lalola offers something different, than the love of the rich and poor…
