Un camino hacia el destino - synopsis in English
Setting: the hacienda of the Altamirano family. Fernando Altamirano (Red Gustavo), head of the family, is a widower and the father of Amelia (Lisette Morelos), the eldest daughter, and Mariana (Ana Patricia Rojo), the apple of his eyes.
Pedro Perez (Jorge Aravena) is gardener on the estate. He has secretly loved Amelia forever. But she's in love with Luis Montero (René Strickler), an ambitious young law student.
At the age of 18 Amelia gives herself to Luis and becomes pregnant. But Luis rejects her in order to marry Marissa Gomez Ruiz (Eugenia Cauduro), a widow millionaire banker. Somehow Don Fernando comes to believe the child Amelia is expecting is Pedro's - he throws both of them out of the house.
Pedro marries Amelia and for love of her assumes paternity of the child whom Amelia christens Luisa Fernanda (Paulina Goto). (Luisa for the real dad and Fernanda for the grandfather).
Luis and Marissa's wedding takes place quickly because she has to go to Spain for bank business. She ends up paying for Luis to study law in Spain.
Marissa has a son, Carlos Gomez Ruiz (Horacio Pancheri), who despite his young age is not deceived. He's always known Luis is a playboy who married his mother for money. This makes for an awful relationship between Luis and Carlos.
Years pass ... Luisa Fernanda is a beautiful young lady of 18, who is finishing high school and has two passions in life: she plays the violin beautifully though she's never studied it, and she loves gardening, which she learned from her father Peter.
A meeting led by fate makes Luis run over Fernanda, ending at the hospital where Carlos works ...

Beware, this IS a project by Nathalie Lartrilleux so it's bound to get extremely frustrating at some point (sooner or later.)

J-I think the son Carlos was Marissa's before she married Luis. It sounded a bit confusing to me, too, but as bad as a Latoodle production can be, she wouldn't make them siblings for the sake of the leads or the audience.
Plus, not thrilled on who's producing.
So I'll stay with El Hotel, and occasionally bop into P&P though that one is losing me because it seems so much the same thing every day.
Holding out hope there are some others goodies down the road, until then I can catch up on my artwork and reading.
Thanks for the posting!

I haven't watched a single episode of this version but I did watch the trailer and it seems like they are keeping the plot very simmilar, with just a few tweaks, mainly in Amalia's character who now starts as a wallflower, ignored by her dad and with a bad sense of style, instead of a pretty and popular girl who's her daddy's favorite. Her fall from grace was so harsh originally but it seems like here it's just a continuation of her already sad life.
Another difference is the exaggeration when it comes to Luisa Fernanda's look, here she seems to be always covered in dirt and her clothes are a little torn. In the original Luisa Fernanda was poor but she was never dirty and her clothes were never torn, especially her school uniform.

Here you are, missed reading your comments on PyP.
Did it turn you off completely? Well, I hope you are well and would love to hearing your logical and intrresting way of looking at things. Come back to PyP!
Thx
Leticia
I do like Jorge though
Jarocha--I wish I had seen the Azteca version.
Emilia--Good Luck with it.
I'm holding out for my telenovio Cristian de la Fuente to make his awaited return to the screen in Sueno de Amor (even if I have to watch Julian Gil in order to see Cristian).
I appreciate the summary because I was curious About Rene Stickler playing young man, surely another young actor plays him when he was young and Rene is the older mature same character. I would watch but the casting of that Little tween totally turned me off. Thank you for everything Jane!
Leticia
I have to admit I hadn't intended to watch but did see it last night. After I saw the divine, shirtless Jorge, what choice did I have (?)
I liked what I saw but I did have a serious eye roll over Rene's ponytail. Good grief!
I may watch again but if this isn't going to be recapped, I won't continue to watch because I will be lost...
Diana
I'm afraid I won't be watching this one. The annoying fresa kid from MCET, who looks 15 and can't act her way out of a paper bag is the female protagonist of the latest Latoodle TN monstrosity? Ay no, qué horror! Thanks but no thanks.
Carvivlie and Variopinta pretty much summed up my sentiment on Lartilleux. I foreswore her for life since CI! Never again! (And I only watched the abridged DVD version and with much fast-forwarding, to boot. I'll never recover those hours of my life... or those fried brain cells! :D)
Just like Anita, I'm holding out for Cris de la Fuente but he is coming back in an Osorio production (Gag me now!). I've watched the first two episodes of "Sueño de Amor" and it is baaaaad! Really baaaaad! We're gonna have a field day with that one! However, against my better judgement and every instinct of self-preservation I possess, I'm going to watch it with my valiant Patio Pals and I'm even volunteering to recap it. I'll take Mondays (or Tuesdays) if BlogMom is kind enough to grant me a recapping spot. :)
Enjoy the rest of your day, everyone! Always a joy to swing by and read comments of my fellow Carayites! :)
So, who's in?

NuMBER 14, repeat # 22, etc, etc, etc
and this one seems too much of a teenager novela (even if I LOVE Jorge Aravena in just about anything) and I remember EUgenia Cauduro's starts (Nunca te Olvidare) but she depends greatly on a good match to character. I know Sueno de Amor will show more posters interested in recapping than this one.
According to this article in the Latin Times, Jorge Aravena says that his character will play a larger role than depicted in the promos. Glad to hear it. The man is guapisimo!

Yes, I really like Jorge as well and "Renato" as well.
Jane noted that no one was interested in recapping and it seems you and I are among the few that were watching. I am already getting lost so I will likely bow out.
Diana
Will probably be watching Sueno de Amor tambien.
J in Oregon
But nobodys interested in recappin so I'll do the cc3 thing.
Thanks for putting this up jane. :-). But if by
Chance someone wants to recap, that'l bel great.
I'll keep tabs just in case
