Plot

edit

Sofía Kuncar (María Elena Swett) is a successful executive, who is promoted to regional manager for Latin America at the headhunting company where she works. She has two daughters, Antonella (Catalina Castelblanco) and Chiara (Emilia Burr), with her ex-husband Diego Buzzoni (Jorge Zabaleta), a radio personality. Since her job now requires Sofía to travel constantly between New York City, Chicago, and other U.S. cities and Santiago, Sofía decides to ask Diego to take care of their daughters. Though Sofía is dating Jorge Camacho (Cristián Riquelme), her boss, and has been separated from her ex-husband for 4 years, Diego is still in love with her.

Reception

edit

The telenovela was received with successful ratings.[1] Terra.cl claims that this circumstance is "reactivating" the 20:00 weekday timeslot, when as of early 2011 only TVN was broadcasting telenovelas, after Canal 13 pulled off its productions, and that even Mega and Chilevisión were considering competing with their own series.[1] The critic at queveo.cl, a website by parents concerned with the media their children consume, praises the acting of Zabaleta and Swett and celebrates the "return" of family-oriented telenovelas.[2]
