I know Betty isn't for everyone but I was immediately drawn to this show after the first episode. I will shamefully admit that I didn't want to sit through over a 100 episodes and feel what I did when I watched Ugly Betty when they didn't end up together,
The best thing about this one is that Betty and Armando do evolve and grow p together in the end. No matter how much they try they just can't help but being drawn together time and again, can't beat the chemistry and soul connection. I also loved the supporting characters, Marcela and Patricia, Hugo and the snake Ricardo and what about Daniel. Let's not forget her wonderful
"squad", there are so many layers of stories in this show that it covers all types of relationships and wow watching Marcela and Daniel's sister take down Ricardo- fantastic- for every woman out there who has come across someone like him.
Armando, interesting character you want to dislike him in the beginning for using Betty but he is a product of his own world, but you can see him falling for Betty's enthusiasm to her work ethic her kind nature and softness, you see that he really does care about her and does know her.
Betty...I love her, I looked like her at that age and watching someone who has curly wild hair, hairy, who dresses for comfort to hide herself and blend into the background, boy do I know her. I really loved the realistic progress made in developing her character, which is normal because as you love get hurt you grow and gain strength, there is something that happens in the metamorphosis.... she learns to that she is worthy, and I love that Armondo is the one suffering, realizing how much he hurt her and watching him slowly realise he has fallen in love with her, he seems stunned, dumbfounded. First trying to resist but not able to, then embracing it, fantastic acting by Erick Elias, I believed he loves her that he fell. Elyfer Torress she is wonderful, to hear she grew out her lip hair and side burns to give it that authenticity made me love her more, something the American version done a few yrs didn't do.
Elyfer's did an amazing job and I haven't seen the original, kept meaning to after Ugly Betty, Elyfer is my favourite Betty, the first with curly hair.
Thank Telemundo Global Studios for making this brilliant production, great set production, clothes and seeing another side to NY.
I liked this show so much I had to come on and give a review.
