New Telenovela: Antes Muerta Que Lichita Premieres Tuesday, September 22nd - Introducing your recapping team
Monday: Jane
Tuesday: Sara
Wednesday: Jarifa
Thursday: Cece
Friday: Marta
Synopsis:
This is the story of Lichita, the most ignored employee at the Icónkia ad agency. When she landed the job at Icoónika, she had high hopes of moving up quickly in the company. Unfortunately, she's in a rut and her career is going nowhere. She is in fact, invisible.
Tired of being "Lichicienta" and not being recognized for her years of hard work, Lichita decides to change and recover what she deserves. She decides to stop being Lichita and become Alicia. She would rather be dead than ever go back to being "Lichita"!
Now I know what you're thinking..."Isn't that just Bety la fea or La fea mas bella?" According to Rosy Ocampo, it's not just a remake, it is indeed an original story. This website even says so!

I Sara, I can hardly wait for this. MANY of my favorite actors in this one. I wish I had better command of the language, would surely volunteer, but lo siento, have to depend on the bloggers to catch all the details.
Thank you again to all who do the recaps, so much appreciated.

That's great, emeraldrose!! I love sharing a patio with you. Several of the Amores con Trampa peeps are also staying on. It should be a lot of fun!
From the avances I have seen, I love the plucky attitude of Lichita/Alicia. I am also looking forward to some great comedy from Ingrid Martz as well as Manuela"Flaco" Ibáñez as her father and Sylvia Pasquel as her mother. Looks like fun (something I am always on the lookout for.)
And this is the first TN recorded in 4K....whatever that means. I've read reviews that have said it is very bright and colorful. Sounds like something I would like.
I was excited to see this one, but given the way I feel about my job right now, the anticipation has hit a new high! Can't wait!
Our comments crossed, hellashelle!
WOW was for 4k being more pixels than HD.
For you, hellashelle I have a SQUEEEE!!!

When I first saw this preview, I thought" Ugly Betty", but this just might be better because she takes the ugly off? We'll see.

I've never actually watched a whole Ugly Betty adapatation, but I'm excited because in this one, it looks like the "Betty" gets to move up the ranks. I'm expecting her to be the Director of her section by the end of the TN (and yes, I agree that they'll also give her a makeover)
Between Rosy Ocampo and Maite La Gata, I should run. (I've never been able to stick with a Rosey Ocampo telenovela).
But for some reason, I am drawn to this one and will be giving it a hearty try. See y'all on The Patio!

I loved Betty la fea, it's one of my all time favorite tns. That being said, I watched a few shows of Lichita and it's not bad. I won't go into details (afraid I might spoil smt ) but I'm pleasantly surprised, especially by the protas ' story.
Thanks, Adriana! I've seen some reviews in the Mexican press. They aren't horrible. I'm looking forward to seeing what Rosy Ocampo gets out of Maite. I saw Maite in Cachito de Cielo and she was good (one of the producers was Giselle Gonzalez who also did YNCELH.) I think under the right direction Maite can do a passable job. And it looks like she's surrounded by a good cast.
I can give this girl advice that will really help her invisibility problem. Get rid of the bangs.
Is this going to be as long as Betty La Fea? Does anyone know how many episodes are planned?

LOL. The eyebrows need a little tweezing, too!
Not sure how many episodes. I haven't seen any talk of how long this will be.
I might as well say that ratings have been "meh" on this one. They went from 18-14 the first week and in the 15s and 16s on Monday and Tuesday of the second week. But ALL the TNs are doing poorly. Lichita and La Vecina had a pretty high number for share (the percentage of all people watching.)
But all that tells us is how many people watched. It says nothing about quality *cough*Firefly*cough*
All that being said, with relatively low numbers, I doubt this will get dragged out.

After a lazy google search, all I could find for number of episodes was "more than 100" which is not helpful at all...except it didn't say "more than 200". ;-)
Yup. Lichita is replacing Amores con trampa.
I kind of thought that's what you were thinking, but wanted to make sure.

LOL. I'm not the person to ask. It's the first comedy I've watched from beginning to end and the patio is so much fun, that my opinion is tainted with sentimentality. The plot/writing may not be fabulous, but the characters have all really wormed their way into our hearts (at least the nice guys have.) Not to mention the talking animals. I've had a great time with it.
Just "heard" Maite Perroni in a fantastic animated kids movie from México:"Un Gallo con Muchos Huevos." She was the voice of the leading lady chicken.
I want to see that so bad! I want to see Sergio Sendel as a Rooster! I will probably have to wait until it's on DVD.
Just read today that Gabriel Soto will have about a 40 episode story line in Lichita.

I have a somewhat stupid/clueless question - how exactly is the title translated into English? Literally and figuratively?

From the post-
She would rather be dead than ever go back to being "Lichita"!
" antes muerto/a que... " is an expression used like" I'd rather be dead"
I'm sure someone with better Spanish than I will be a bigger help.

It means she'd rather be dead than be Lichita (or having to go back from being Alicia to Lichita.
There were a good number of actors that would interest me, but when I got to Sherlyn, I said uh, uh, not Maite AND Sherlyn in the same tn.
Besides, I'm hooked on Telemundo's Preciosa Perla. That's two hours for each episode for now.

Just saw a longer preview for this. Arath and Maite look really cute together!
To each his own tastes, Anita. I wasn't a fan of the comedies for the longest time and now I'd rather watch those.

I am thinking of coming on board for this one. What days are open?

It has been a while since I recapped (CI) but my schedule has allowed me to pick up a TN again. Are there still days that are free? I can also share a day with someone if that's an option.
Ok, this is driving me crazy: who is the blond lady? I know I've seen her before and I should know who she is, but I don't get why she's in all of the promos when I can't find her on the cast lists.
Thanks to the great recappers who are/were famous in Amores con Trampas and are now so graciously recapping this new one. You are the best !!!
I will be watching, 1st because it's my time slot to watch a tn, and 2nd because it IS a comedy. The plot can get a little lame sometimes but don't they all. And, usually there's little to no violence in a comedy; although, there were a couple of nasty scenes in the last one with Silvia Navarro, .. corazon .. can't think of the title. How soon we forget. I just don't need blood and gore, murder and mayhem, and I hope we're spared all that in this one too. I'd rather see character development and well-played comedy drama.

I will probably try this, I like everyone except Maite, she is just a horrible actress unless La Gata helped (that is a joke). Toss up between her & Blanca Soto for worst actress.
"I'd rather see character development and well-played comedy drama."
Well said, Lola! I have not seen a Rosy Ocampo comedy from beginning to end. I saw bits and pieces of Que Pobres Tan Ricos and I don't remember it getting too dark. I remember at least one murder, though.
Variopnta-I lot of Matie's projects have been not good (CCEA, La Gata,TdA), but she was actually pretty good in Cachito del Cielo. In the right hands, I think she can pull off a decent performance.

ugh yea I have to agree on the Maite and Blanca Soto nomination for worst actresses, albeit good looking! I was hoping for a handsome leading man of some sorts but looks like I'm out of luck so it better be funny at least!

Thank you Sara!
This looks great and seeing Gabe Soto will be in for quite a few episodes makes this even more appealing.
I respectfully disagree about Maite. I think she has done the best she can with the roles she's been cast in. She was excellent in Mi Pecado, which was haunting and memorable.

I love you Diana! I am a big fan of Maite. I agree she has been in some pretty bad productions, but she is so sincere and earnest that I can't hate her (Same with Blanca.)
We may have to have a Maite Fans Anonymous Club.
