English language recaps of Telenovelas...
Eugenio Siller and Paola Núñez are the protagonistas,and -- deliciously -- Juan Soler and Catherine Siachoque are the main villains. Enrique Iglesias sings the theme song, Bailando.
Here's a little bit about the story:
Reina (Paola Núñez) is a young dressmaker with a horror of a stepmother (Rosalinda Rodriguez, who owns this kind of role) and a jealous half sister. Nicolás (Eugenio Siller) is alone in the world. He earns a living parking cars, but he also knows his way around a poker table. The two meet at the wedding of former porn star, Estefanía (Catherine Siachoque), a millionaire casino owner and soon to be a widow. For Reina and Nicolás, it is love at first sight.
They decide to get married secretly in Las Vegas. But tragedy and malice (i.e. Victor and Estefanía) conspire to separate them.
Juan Soler in a World of Dazzle and Deception, Intrigue, Dizzying Wealth, High Fashion, Juan Soler amid Dirty Money and Dirty Diamonds, Dangerous Men and Fast Women, a World of Casinos and High Rollers, CIA Spies, Amnesia, Juan Soler, Mysterious Threats lurking in bushes, and lots and lots of Sexy, Pretty People -- what's not to like? (Oh and did I mention Juan Soler?)
Note: There is a more extensive, although spoilerish and weirdly incoherentsinopsis on the Telemundo website.
