Plot

The series is starred by two neighbor families, the Justo and the Romano. Tomás Justo is a former tennis player, with a conflictive relation with his father, and his wife Natalia suffers from problem gambling. Alfredo Romano is a compulsive player of video games, and his wife Verónica suffers a midlife crisis. Wrongly thinking that she was dying, because of a medical error, Verónica reveals to Tomás that she had always loved him in secret, and that she only married Alfredo to stay close to him.

Production

The series started to be filmed both in location shootings and studio shootings, at the same time. The location shootings worked at Victoria, Pilar, Ezeiza and San Fernando. Studio shootings were performed at the Estudios Baires, in Don Torcuato.[1]

Reception

Critical reception

Silvina Lamazares, from Clarín, praises the tone and the acting performances of Krum and Peña. She also welcomed that the first kiss between the main characters took place in the first episode, instead of being delayed as in other telenovelas. She also praised that the first episode easily explained all the main characters with the lead characters breaking the fourth wall by looking to the camera and explaining things directly.[2]
