So I’m a few episodes into El Hotel De Los Secretos
I’m so overjoyed to find that Andrés Salinas is not just played by 💕Carlos Rivera💕 but is second most important male lead AND my favorite character archetype/personality!
He’s the emotional heart/rock of the series!
He’s the counterbalance of caution, patience and kindness to Julio’s zero-impulse control and scrappy investigative zeal and I’m in love with that dynamic! (If I’m not careful I’m gonna ship it lmao, eh whatever! Whose gonna stop me if I do?! Lol)
In a way they remind me of the Triumvirate dynamic from Star Trek. Julio is Kirk and Andrés is a very charming combination of Spock & Bones. Andrés is like 85-90% of Julio’s impulse control
I smell the potential of him being the moral compass if things get darker than they are. Which, they probably will, it’s a telenovela/period DRAMA after all.
What really sold me on the show (and this character) was the third episode.
Waking up and comforting Julio when he breaks down in tears because it seems that his sister didn’t just disappear but was (probably) murdered thanks to some emotionally devastating evidence.
God just LOOK at them 🥲
¡Voy a llorar! 😭😭😭
I don’t know man, Andrés really went “this man has body slammed me TWICE in less than 48 hours and I saw him cry once. You know what though? He’s earnest and funny and I feel bad for him. So! We Are Now Inseparable.”
Then what he does for BELÉN, pobresita 😭
Andrés comforts her (who he clearly already cared about before, can’t really tell if it’s a “he/they were already a little in love but we’re hiding it” situation or a “friends that become lovers(?) due to fanfic level circumstances” situation).
He doesn’t pressure her when she won’t say who the father is and doesn’t seem to think less of her for having a child out of wedlock. Which is like, a HUGE deal considering this takes place in the early 1900s.
Not only that! But what does he do in order to keep his mother (the chief of staff regarding the maid staff) to keep her from firing Belén?
HE LIES HIS MOM AND TELLS HER THE BABY IS HIS. He sacrifices his mother’s respect for him for Belén’s sake! Like, W H A T.
HELLO? H E L L O?!?!?!
Ahh! I love this series!
Oh man, I really hope he doesn’t become a target in whatever Diego’s shady ass plans are if he ever finds out Andrés is taking credit for the child/pregnant woman he discarded like trash to protect his engagement to Isabela 👀 (not that Andrés knows who the real father is) ¡NO MORTES POR FAVOR!
Does anybody else watch this show?! Send help! I’m chewing on the upholstery!!
La novela “Amor Amargo” da pizarrazo de inicio de grabaciones
La nueva producción de Pedro Ortiz de Pinedo, encabezada por Daniela Romo, Arturo Peniche, Andrés Palacios y Ana Belena, realizó hoy su pizarrazo en la Hacienda Pedregal, ubicada en el Estado de México.
Previo al inicio de grabaciones, el elenco y la producción se reunieron para celebrar una misa oficiada por el sacerdote José de Jesús Aguilar, quien durante la homilía exhortó al elenco a ser humildes y dejar a un lado el ego para que reine la armonía a lo largo del proyecto.
Con el lema “El amor es como el chocolate, a veces dulce, a veces amargo”, el melodrama se sitúa en el pintoresco pueblo de Todos los Santos, donde Tomás (Andrés Palacios), regresa tras el funeral de su padre, decidido a desentrañar la verdad detrás de su asesinato.
En la ceremonia religiosa estuvieron presentes Daniela Romo, Arturo Peniche, Andrés Palacios, Ana Belena, Francisco Gattorno, Martha Julia, Beatriz Moreno, Alejandro Ávila, Jessica Decote, Karla Farfán, Karena Flores, Óscar Medellín, Pedro Baldo, Valeria Masini, Alejandra Procuna, Daniel Gama, Julio Mannino, Fernando Robles, Adalberto Parra, Juan Ángel Esparza, Magda Karina, Alain Said, Armando Andrade, Arturo Posada, Rodrigo Ríos, Eva Daniela, Julia Arce, Federico Espejo, entre otros.
Estreno: Noviembre de 2024 a las 6:30 pm por Las Estrellas y en ViX.

Tiene toda la vibra de mi reinita- 👀👌
