Good news for everyone who isn't enjoying Telemundo's new gossip show Confessions of Stars. It airs until the end of this week and then it disappears.
This Monday (3 March 2014) a new telenovela starts in the 18h00 timeslot: Labour of Love.
Here's more about it with a character relationship map, followed by teasers for March:
Labour of Love introduces Ignacia (Ana Layevska), a young engineer who works at a leading construction company owned by her boyfriend Tomas (Fabian Rios). Ignacia and Tomas are in love and are looking forward to getting married.
However, a few days before the wedding they have an argument and Ignacia leaves the city where she meets a seemingly wealthy man who makes her forget about her troubles. She spends a wonderful night with him.
The next day, feeling upset about what had happened, she returns home, where Tomas - who is looking for forgiveness - is waiting for her with a promise of a new position at his company.
She accepts it and to her surprise, when she arrives at the construction site as its new manager - she meets the mystery wealthy man again, who turns out to be Pedro (José Luis Resendez), a simple labourer who has neither money nor great aspirations.
Ignacia and Pedro find out that although they have so many reasons not to be together, they will love each other despite these differences, prejudice and rejection.
