Sorry! I was gone for a long minute, but I'm back now.
Ugly Betty is proving to be wildly popular. The story of an unseemly, yet intelligent woman, working in the fashion industry who falls in love with her boss and slowly ends up snagging not only him, but the whole company as well.
This story started out as a telenovela in Colombia in 2000. Yo Soy Betty La Fea has inspired remakes not only in the U.S., but also Mexico, Spain, Israel, Germany, Turkey, Russia, Greece, and China. Several more in the works.
The Mexican version, La Fea Mas Bella, can be seen on Univision, M-F, at 8pm. This version is not bad. Usually I like Angelica Vale, who plays the main character, but for some reason she annoys me in this telenovela. I think maybe the writers make the story too silly.
