It has been an amazing first four weeks for Tangled Hearts lovers on Nina TV. The telenovela, taking place in Sao Paulo, has engaged us in the lives of six indviduals.
We meet Amora Campana, a bitchy socialite and IT-Girl who is a famous campaign model as well as on and off host for a flashy TV Show, Luxury, where the latest gossip ensues on end. Amora is vain and mildly vile, egoistic and very much in love with herself. It is no secret that Amora was raised on the streets and after sister, Simone, abandoned her she was raised in the care of couple Gilson and Salma up until her adoption by famous actress, Barbara Ellen, who we cannot say has been the best example for Amora.
The telenovela opens up on a humorous note with the death of one of Barbara's long list of husbands. His name is Jonathan James, and he dies on a very humorous note when a horse he is showcasing catapults him to the ground and he breaks his neck - dead on impact!
This leads to a media circus especially with Barbara's social life always on the hunt by tabloids, most especially by one journalist whose name is Sueli Pedrosa.
First and foremost, Barbara has daughter whose name is Maria Luisa Campana (known entirely in the show as Malu) whom Barbara deems as a mistake she made in her life, when she was married to filmmaker Plinio Campana, a nice and wonderful man who clearly had some screws loose when he tied the knot with Barbara the witch in the first place!
Barbara loves Amora and her other adoptive children, Luz, Kevin and Dorothy more than she has ever loved Malu. Thankfully though, Malu seems to have taken after her wonderful father. Fuuny story here, Luz, Kevin and Dorothy haven't taken after Barbara and are also very much like Amora...Makes me doubt Amora's real maternity!
Anyway, in another part of Sao Paulo, Casa Verde is home to Bento de Jesus, wonderful and handsome young florist who along with his partner, Giane de Souza, are owners of a successful flower business, The Yellow Acacia.
Bento was raised by Gilson and Salma alongside Amora. They were close friends since their childhood and have shared a platonic love even after Amora was adopted by Barbara and he never saw her again. However, he always followed her career much to the annoyance of Giane, who actually loves Bento (like all other men in telenovelas, save for the gay ones, he does not know this)
We also meet Mauricio Vasquez, who is son to Veronica Vasquez, owner of wedding oraganization emporium, For Forever, and Natan Vasquezz, owner and president of Class Media, an advertising agency. Mauricio is a really kind young man, much too good considering he is dating Amora and is oblivious to her vanity. What he does not know is that Malu, Amora's sister, has always been in love with him, although he sees Malu purely as a friend..MEN!
Lastly, we have bad boy Fabinho Queiroz who was adopted from the orphanage as well into a wealthy family. However, when his family loses all its wealth, Fabinho's greed surpasses all measure and he ends up digging into his real parentage. This leads him to figure out that his father could be Plinio Campana and his first love, Irene Fiori. He sets out to claim his fortune and regain his wealthy status again. All this after committing some juvenile crimes and having his adoptive mother, incriminated for them.
Well some of the highlights that have occurred include Amora and Bento finally reconnecting during a flashmob which Amora was covering for the TV show she hosts. This meeting caused a flurry of emotions between the two youngsters who for a really long time had not seen each other.
Malu also meets Bento during an interview she conducts and they actually get along. The surprise of her and Amora being sisters comes purely as a coincidence and despite her engagement to Mauricio, Amora is angered to know of the blooming friendship between her adoptive sister and Bento. Most especially when Bento gets involved with Malu's refuge for orphaned children, Toca do Saci
We also have developments like Fabinho making an appearance at Amora's engagement party under a facade of a prim and proper snort-nosed brat. His real agenda is trying to win over Amora alongside his quest of finding his real father and ultimately, his wealth! Unfortunately for him and Bento, she is engaged to Mauricio, causing cold vibes between Bento and Mauricio, who notices how affected Amora gets anytime Bento is invloved.
Being a Brazilian telenovela, it is inevitable that there is a long myriad of characters who basically make the show a universe. The past 4 weeks has seen big things happening like the discovery by Veronica that Natan has been having an affair with Barbara Ellen for quite a long time. This marks the end of a 20 year marriage and of course, alienation between Natan and his son, who is disgusted by the betrayal by his father towards his mother.
Malu has also become some sort of muse to Bento advising him to try and win Amora over because she may be redeemable. She herself has had quite the trying time especially when during the time of Mauriciuo's devastation concerning his parents' divorce, she confesses to him that she has always been in love with him since they were younger - and wait for it! - plants a kiss on him! Mauricio is shocked, of course, because at this time, he realizes that his own girlfriend is not by his side while Malu, whom he has always considered nothing more than a friend, is giving him a shoulder to cry on
The show introduces us to characters like Erico and Renata who are engaged to be married. However, the weeks have shown us a lack of contentment on Renata's end mingled with a certain lack of assurance towards her impending marriage to Erico, who truly loves her!
Uncle Gilson has a brother whose name is Wilson. Wilson Rabello is the wealthy owner of Kim Park. The show reveals to us a mortal enmity between him and Bento which was sparked at Bento's childhood when Wilson would not let him enter Kim Park, viewing him as riff-raff. For this reason, Bento and Wilson have never gotten along to date.
Fabinho has made a vow to avenge his mother. His discovery of Plinio having left Irene for Barbara. He promises to find out what Barbara Bitch did and eventually have his revenge!!!!I'm shaking in my boots😂😂 😂
After Malu's advise, Bento becomes more determined to show Amora that love is much more vital as opposed to her wealth and fame. He goes after her and knows she loves him too, but then she is more about living a practical life, romance free but at least guaranteeing of no suffering! He wants her to call it quits with Mauricio and their plans of marriage and when she starts to relent, he plants a kiss on her!
Amora tries to resists but she's clearly fooling no one - she felt that kiss as much as she's feeling the man who has planted it on her
😍😍😍
Oh, did I mention her sister, Luz, witnessed the entire kiss and actually told Malu about it? Unfortunately though, Barbara the loon heard them talking about it, and that was what ended the spicy week!
What do you think about the show so far? Please share your views....
