First Recap of En Nombre Del Amor

What did you think of En Nombre Del Amor? It seems to be one of those pretty dark and dramatic telenovelas. The main girl Paloma is orphaned and staying with her aunts Carlotta and Macarena. Carlotta is a sour biatch and Macarana is a sweetheart. But Carlotta is Paloma’s custodial parent and is really controlling and overbearing with everyone. Between her attitude and the purple makeup she was made to be hated on. Seriously.

There is a big secret surrounding this novela. Here’s my guess. If you don’t like spoilers don’t read! The big secret is (in my opinion) that Macarena and Carlotta loved the same guy the guy that is a priest now. He chose Macarena and he is her baby daddy. Who is the baby you ask? Paloma! I truly believe this! This is why Paloma stayed with the aunts. And they just look too much alike it can’t be coincidence in my opinion!

Ok you can read now if you stopped reading for the spoiler possibility. It did take me an episode or two to warm up to it but I am definitely hooked! Un Gancho is a lighter drama and I haven’t watched something this dark in a while. Carlotta is a true villian. This novela is also set in a small town instead of the big cities of Guadalajara or Mexico.

So Paloma’s BFF Romina practically threw herself at Emiliano. And my gut instinct is that Emiliano actually likes Paloma and that’s going to be a huge breaking point for Paloma’s and  Romina’s relationship.

This novela aka ENDA already ended in Mexico. What do you think of it so far? Is it a must see or a pass? This one may last around 9 months.

Quick Telenovela Update

Just a quick note to update on my current telenovela. Got to love the drama. This is what I wrote previously if you want to catch up: I’m currently watching “Al Diablo Con Los Guapos” which means “To Hell with the Hotties” It’s pretty catchy when you say it that way. It’s beyond complicated. The orphan girl raised by a convent was hired by this affluent family to be a maid in the house. Come to find out she’s the niece of the butler and her mom was also a maid in that house who fell in love with the man who is now the head of the house so in turn that is her father. She does not know that’s her father. But the priest at the convent knows and is bound by secrecy. Her uncle the butler also knows and protects her from the evil wench of the wife who also knows the secret but noone has told her that’s her father.
Now, history is repeating itself: she’s fallen in love with the son. But wait! You’re thinking ew that’s her brother!!! Turns out the woman her father married had that child with someone else out of wedlock but he gave him his last name to keep up appearances. So his son doesn’t even know that’s not his father. Basically I’m waiting for everyone to find out all the secrets and how that’s going to turn out! Talk about complicated huh?

Well now….her grandmother adopted her as her daughter and made her the universal heir. Now grandma didn’t know she was the grandchild she’s been looking for for years. Millie is the name of the heir/grandchild. Grandma has ended up in the hospital and through all this Millie has found out the truth of who’s her father. The evil wench of her father’s wife told her minutes before marrying Alejandro which is the guy she loves that is not her brother. Of course the wench made her think that is her brother and their love can’t be. She also begged Millie not to tell Alejandro anything. She also found out her father knew about her the whole time. Grandma has died but not before Millie telling her the truth and then Millie has now vowed vengeance against her father. The priest is aware of all this but gets threatened by the evil wench not to say a word. It’s interesting what’s going to happen because Millie has been left with all of her grandmother’s fortune. Which means the son the evil wench has been “protecting” has been left with nothing. So the tables have turned.
