Nomas quise referenciar con los personajes originales de YSBLF la escena esta de La Fea más Bella- || ENG:I just wanted make a reference, with the characters from YSBLF, this scene from La Fea más Bella 😅

Extra:

ENG: "Betty…where did you got that?"

One of the things that deserves more credit for in YSBLF is the visual storytelling and how the scenes are directed in a way that reflects the storytelling.

In the above scene, at first viewing nothing in particular jumps out. We've seen many scenes with this exact setup, the board members around the table, Armando all nervous and anxious about concealing the company's financial status, Daniel suspicious about everything, Marcela being annoyed, Betty coming in to save Armando with more lies, blah blah... What's also quite normal is Armando pulls a seat for Betty next to him, he does it as naturally as putting on his cologne.

Look in particular at when Armando pushes his chair to the side and pulls up a new chair. Betty comes to sit on the chair that he was sitting on.

What happened that day was the finalization of the embargo with Betty's lawyer and the court secretary making their rounds through Ecomoda to take inventory of the machines, materials, etc. When Armando signs the embargo papers, he, as a matter of fact, has handed Betty the control of the company.

The scene visually shows that the 'seat of power' has moved from Armando to Betty, which i think is pretty neat.

Mi mente: Cuántas veces quieres ver esta novela?

Yo: Sí

Armando is a really conflicting character because of how much of a coward he is. He can't give a straight step ahead, it's always half things. He had a thing for Betty before the Plan, but when he was confronted with actually having something with her, he freaked out and feigned a disgust that was never there before. He always took Betty out to fancy places for work, it wasn't uncommon to be seen in public with her, but as soon as it was with actual intent, he freaked out and acted embarrassed even though they could have very easily just said it was purely for business. He said he was going to be public with her as soon as the meeting was over, but when Marcela catches them hugging, he immeditely denies it even though at this point he has nothing else to lose. He could only ever be honest in solitude or in front of Betty. He always lacked the courage to face society and himself.

This man has never looked better than when his life started going downhill

ysblf + valentines

momento más top de ysblf?

cuando armando le dice a marcela: no me grites a Betty, Marcela, no me la grites!

" quiero que me jure que usted solo es mía "

todos los besitos para ellas <3<3<3

Carmen but she's a colombian receptionist ditz like you-know-who

that's armando's soul mate alright

"Vamos a ir en dos carros, beatriz? Olvídelo. Olvídelo Beatriz, usted se va conmigo en mi carro."

One hundred percent sure this man HATES all of Betty's cars.

His thoughts must be like: why does she want a car if she has ME?

“que resultaron no tan buenos como pensábamos, ni tan efectivos.” I hate Mario but god the hurtful words he would say to Armando are just chefs kiss!

Armando is fr the best driver ever because that man never looked at the road, was always talking trhough phone and was heavily intoxicated for liek half the novela. Honestly his guardian angel was working triple shifts just to prevent this dude from flying off his windshield fr
