sortilegio-protagonistas The Miriam-Webster definition of Sortilegio means a charm or spell. Also known as hechizo in Spanish. I just had to look that up. Well this novela is good. And I just swooooooonnnnnn over William Levy. My goodness he was just born to be an actor in a Spanish telenovela. The pictures don’t do him justice you just have to see him act on the small screen! Here’s the plot:

Victoria and Antonio fall in love. These two are married to other people. Victoria ends up pregnant by Antonio, her married lover. Her husband finds out they are not his because he can’t have children. So they go off to Europe to have their children. They were twins, a boy and a girl named Bruno and Raquel. Victoria’s husband dies and she returns to Mexico. During this time Antonio ended up having a son, Armando (William Levy’s character). His wife dies during childbirth. Antonio marries Victoria but the kids never know he is their actual father and treat Armando like crap. Antonio also dies, leaving everything to Armando. They are rich people. Bruno and Armando never got along and Bruno comes up with this crazy plan.

He pretends to be Armando and marries Maria Jose (played by Jacqueline Bracamontes). This girl thought he was Armando and was in love with him. After they got married he conspires to try and kill the real Armando. His plan was that the wife would then be entitled to all the riches his father left for Armando and made a deal with her against her wishes to give him the money. He threatened her and her family. Well the plot to kill the real Armando failed and he is alive. They tell him about his new wife which he doesn’t remember anything about. They think this is normal since he has some memory loss from the accident. A lot of the first week was just laying the plot down because it was pretty confusing. I love this novela already. Lots of drama!
