Betty and Veronica: As a classic Telenovela, this show loves this trope.Because You Were Nice to Me: Betty wasn't interested in Armando until the moment he touched her chin and said you are the kind of woman I need.When she gets a makeover, all she needs to do is cut her front bangs and get smaller glasses. Beautiful All Along: Betty is not really ugly, but she is unkempt, with braces, glasses that obscure her face and unfavorable dresses.They both probably had to be ignored or cut short for time issues. Aborted Arc: Inés's incredibly emotionally charged subplot with her husband Rafael gets left in the dust without much of an explanation, as does Sofía's.Then Armando's best friend and company vice-president Mario Calderón suggest to him that he should ensure Betty's loyalty by romancing her. Afraid of losing his position, his parent's trust and the company (in that order), he and Betty create a plan involving a takeover by a ghost company, and tax evasion. However Armando's very ambitious plans for the company begin to fall apart when the first collection of clothing produced under his administration fails badly, with the logical loss of money. To him, she is the hideous but trustworthy secretary, who also happens to know a lot of Economics. Unexpectedly, she finds support and friendship in the secretaries of the company, dubbed "el cuartel de feas" (the Ugly Squad) by Lombardi.Īrmando begins to trust more and more in Betty, who little by little influences in the policies of the company. She endures a lot of mistreatment, including being shunted off to a closet as her office. Mind, Betty knows that her "Don Armando" will never notice anyone like her, and so she decides to instead demonstrate her love by being the best secretary possible, even if that means clashing with Patricia (who likes to think of herself as much more important than she is), with Marcela (who works in the company too, and knows Armando's personality too well), with the head designer Hugo Lombardi (a Flamboyant Gay who disliked Betty since Day One due to his very rigid concept of beauty), with Daniel Valencia (Marcela's brother, investor, and The Rival of Armando since childhood), and in general with.
Well, for a start, Betty falls in love with her boss.
#Soy betty la fea plus#
After all, Patricia is a total airhead, and Betty has the plus of being unattractive. The Human Resources man instead hires Patricia Fernández, a very attractive lady however, Patricia is the best friend of Marcela Valencia, the fiancée of the new president of the company, Armando Mendoza, and, suspecting that his very jealous fiancée wants to spy on him - and since he needs a competent aid - he hires Betty as well. Unable to find a job at the same level as her knowledge because her incredible resume is hidden by the photo attached to it, Betty lowers her expectations and applies to a secretarial job in a fashion company, Eco Moda, since they are the only company that doesn't require a photo.
