This is the first Latin telenovela or soap opera I truly enjoyed since the 1980s. It has class and it's chic to the max. This novela is about a young girl (Gabriela Spanic in double roles) who happens to work at a hotel where a rich, spoiled, and promiscuous married woman is spending a few days with her current "beau", catch. One day, while she is using one of the hotel's bathroom, she encounters Paulina (her name is Paola), a poor maid who looks "exactly" like her. She was taken aback briefly, but walks toward Paulina and inspects her. She decides right then and there that Paulina is to take her place. Paulina objects and Paola (the rich, married woman) fabricates a plan that will force Paulina to accept her proposal to replace her at her home while she, Paola, is free to enjoy her current life of debauchery, living for the moment. she plants some jewelry on Paulina and calls the hotel/police. In other to escape going to Prison, Paulina accepts to pass for Paola.
Now Paulina, the demure, beautiful virgin, travels to Paola's Villa and becomes her. No one suspects her, except a few of Paola's beaus of whom she turns one or to into allies; however, everyone else enjoys the new Paola. As an alter ego, she is everything that Paola isn't. She loves children, she enjoys working, she appreciates people, and above all, she demands spiritual, and bodily respect. Hence, the new Paola is no longer "a loose woman." Her new husband is more in love with her than ever; he truly believes that his "old" wife is born anew. Hence, Paulina (now Paola), wants to work, takes care of her step-children, and treats her house staff with dignity. Meanwhile, the "REAL" Paola is enjoying herself fully; she no longer has to pretend to need time away to renew her "poor" nerves. She can now have "real" fun, and she does.
Everything is going very well, the business, the children and suddenly Paola returns to complicate matters and turns everything upsy-turvy. However, this when the novela becomes, more suspenseful and enjoyable. It's pure dramatics from this point on. I don't want to ruin your chance of discovery the rest of this "beautiful, suspenseful drama. Gabriela Spanic, did a superb job. This is truly a wonderful telenova.
