For me, it was a beloved show that I’d watch with my family every night for the several years it was on the air, as well as its follow-up series Eco Moda. Yo Soy Betty, La Fea is considered by many (including Guinness World Records) to be the most successful telenovela in history. I was a bit skeptical when the reboot was announced last spring. Patricia and Marcela both try to sabotage Betty, but with the help of her supportive family, her new allies at V&M and her adorkable best friend Nicolás (Mauricio Garza), she persists in her efforts to rightfully earn her place among the fashion-forward and fabulous. Things are complicated, however, because Patricia (Sylvia Sáenz), the best friend of Armando’s fiancé Marcela (Sabrina Seara), who is also a high-ranking exec, is gunning for the same job. As a token of gratitude for her loyalty in keeping his secret, Armando hires Betty to be his assistant. After randomly helping a man avoid getting caught cheating on his fiancé, Betty soon learns that he is Armando Mendoza (Erick Elias), the newly named President of V&M, infamous for being a playboy and sleeping with the many models that work for his company.
She was literally handed a participation trophy at the end of her internship at a city bank, losing a job to the prettier intern despite having exceeded expectations.ĭespite an impressive resume and unquestionable qualifications, Betty has lost out on job opportunity after job opportunity, forcing her to apply for an executive assistant position at V&M, a high-end fashion company in Manhattan. From being told she wasn’t “elegant” enough to become a ballet dancer to horrible luck finding romance, she has experienced constant rejection and ridicule her entire life. Surprisingly, a fair amount of the series is in English as it does take place in New York City and realistically the gallery of characters would be multilingual as well.īeatriz “Betty” Aurora Rincón (Torres) is a bright and kind-hearted young woman on the search for a job to help support her family and ailing father. The first series produced by Telemundo Global Studios out of the state-of-the-art Telemundo Center in Miami, Florida, which is soon to celebrate its first year of production, Telemundo continues its goal of creating more family-friendly programming to its multigenerational and bilingual audiences.
