Another show rumored to be coming soon on Telemundo Africa is intimate enemy.  Read the synopsis below ⬇⬇

SYNOPSIS: Ten-year-old Alejandro (Raúl Méndez) is playing innocently with his young sister, who is about to turn four, when a tattooed hit man from one of the many powerful cartels spreading their violence across Mexico brutally murders their parents and kidnaps the little girl. Now, 25 years later, Alejandro Ferrer – known as Captain Alejandro to his colleagues in the Federal Police – is waging a fierce, and sometimes brutal, war against the country’s drug cartels.

We are in northern Mexico along the border with the United States. Captain Alejandro and his men are squaring off against a group of drug traffickers who are smuggling drugs into the US through a secret tunnel. During the shootout, the Captain kills El Colibrí (the Hummingbird), a beloved key operative of the Mil Cumbres Cartel, one of the most active and dangerous criminal organizations in the area. And that’s not the only blow the deadly cartel will receive that day: Thousands of miles away, on the other side of the world, a woman named Roxana Rodiles (Fernanda Castillo) has just donated millions of dollars to the Henri Noguers Foundation, a charity benefiting African children, on behalf of Federico Montalvo (Diego Soldano), President of Banco Atlántico. Acting as his representative, she is also negotiating with a leading Japanese entrepreneur to sign an important business deal to buy and sell diamonds. But before she can close the deal, she is captured by Interpol, which has been quietly following the money trail she has left in her wake.

After being arrested and interrogated, Roxana is sent to Las Dunas prison, a facility unusual for Mexico in that it houses both men and women, albeit in separate wings. The inmates at Las Dunas are awaiting trial or serving sentences for a broad range of crimes.

For Captain Alejandro, however, no victory over the cartels is ever enough, and he comes up with an audacious plan to send one of his own operatives to infiltrate Las Dunas. The man he chooses for the task is 27-year-old Daniel Laborde (Matías Novoa), whose mission is to win Roxana Rodiles’s trust, seduce her, and get her to leak information about the cartel. What Captain Alejandro can’t know is that Daniel will fall in love with Roxana Rodiles for real, and that their relationship, forged in such adverse conditions, will jeopardize not only Alejandro’s operation but also the very existence of the Mil Cumbres Cartel, as well as the lives of Daniel and Roxana themselves.

But there’s no turning back, and deciding whether one’s adversary lives or dies is a toss of the coin when the enemy is this intimate.

 Well Telemundo might get the audience back with this show but the dynamics of this show actually being aired on Telemundo are confusing.  Without breast There is Paradise is a ratings gold show for Telemundo,  a sequel to the highly acclaimed Columbian show Without breasts there is Paradise which was a remake of another original version.  The story actually started with the 2008 version of the show in Columbia with the story of Albeiro being stuck between loving Catalina or her mother Doña Hilda.  Another story with a controversial story of a man falling for both moryervand daughter but unlike Saul,  he actually knows of their relationship.  Since the story isn't complete without the first part let me just give you a back story of this amazing and thrilling story.


2008 version  :: CATALINA’S STORY





Edit
Catalina Santana (Carmen Villalobos), a young woman in Pereira, Colombia, is willing to risk everything in order to escape the poverty she lives in and fulfill her dreams - even if this means putting her life and her integrity in jeopardy. Her mother Hilda (Catherine Siachoque), a lovely hard working woman with no resources to provide her children with luxuries, expends boundless energy in her efforts to push both her children, Catalina and her brother Bayron (Juan Diego Sánchez) to prosper. In spite of their mother's efforts, Bayron and Catalina's situation is filled with poverty and need.

Catalina is beautiful, but is not as voluptuous as her friends who render sexual services as "pre-paid girls" to powerful men in the drug trafficking world. Yésica "La Diabla" (María Fernanda Yépez), Catalina's best friend, entered this world with her own business: recruiting, selecting, and leading groups of women for whom the drug traffickers pay in advance to receive sexual services, which she introduces to Catalina this culture, convincing her that this is the only way she has to get away from her poverty. Once inside, Catalina falls into the manipulative hands of Lorena (Aylín Mújica), Yésica's Mexican equivalent, who together with Martinez, an important member of the Juarez Cartel, convinces inexperienced young women from Colombia to undergo breast surgery as a means of obtaining a better life in another country. What they don't know is that in reality he uses them as "mules", sending them to Mexico while smuggling heroin in their implants.

Catalina, dazzled by a world of riches and a life full of luxuries, decides not to continue her relationship with her boyfriend Albeiro, a young man from her town who has very few ambitions, but loves her with all his heart. She decides to search for someone who can pay for or finance her surgery of silicon breast implants since, according to her belief, this will provide her the fame and wealth she longs for.

In the end, Catalina begins to remember how hard her life has been since she became a pre-paid girl: having an illegal abortion after being raped by three men, facing struggles in order to get her breasts augmented and the loss of her breast implants due to medical complications, the death of her brother Bayron, finding out that her mother and Albeiro were having a romantic relationship behind her back which resulted in her mother becoming pregnant, and finally getting kicked out of her own house by her drug-dealer husband Marcial, after Yésica betrayed her and told Marcial that Catalina had lied to him. After all she is left feeling lost, forgotten, betrayed and alone. All these events cause Catalina to lose the will to live, and she tries to commit suicide but does not find the courage to pull through, so she decides to seek revenge and kill Yessica for betraying her by inviting her to a cafe and calling the hired killers, as she gives them the details to distinguish Yésica among the other people. The killers do their job and kill Yésica, by shooting her three times in the back, later to be shown that the girl killed is in fact, Catalina, who had a change of mind; instead of killing Yésica, she decided to plot her own assassination by disguising herself as Yésica. Before being shot, Catalina wrote in the book she was holding the line which gave the series its title, "It's a lie - without breasts there is no paradise."


2016::  NEW CATALINA




The series begins when Doña Hilda Santana (Catherine Siachoque), who is pregnant, receives the news of the death of her daughter Catalina "La Grande" (Carmen Villalobos), sending her into premature labor with her second daughter, Catalina "La Pequeña" (Carolina Gaitán). When Catalina (Carolina Gaitán) is born, her father Albeiro Marín (Fabián Ríos) and mother Hilda Santana fear she will share her late older sister's fate, as many of the young women in their neighborhood have historically become involved with prostitution and organized crime. In order to protect their daughter, Albeiro and Hilda paint a yellow boundary line outside of their home, forbidding Catalina from crossing it. Catalina then falls in love with a boy named Hernán Darío (Juan Pablo Urrego). After witnessing an attack upon Hernán Darío by Yésica Beltrán's (Majida Issa) bodyguards, Catalina crosses the yellow line to defend Dario from them. Hilda and Albeiro intervene to defend their daughter and are apprehended by the bodyguards. Yésica, resentful of Hilda, Albeiro, and Catalina, then orders her men to plant jewelry in Hilda's house in order to incriminate them of a crime they didn't commit. The police, by Yésica's orders, arrest Hernán Darío, Catalina, Dona Hilda, and Albeiro, incarcerating them in different prisons. Catalina is sent to a prison institution, where she is beaten by the fellow inmates and guards and nearly drowned.

2017::  THE RETURN OF CATALINA GRANDE




Carmen Villalobos is back with a vengeance. “Catalina Santana,” the character that started it all nine years ago and is now back to settle the score. Catalina’s return will set the parallel worlds of her family and her enemies on a collision course, unleashing a war for revenge while reawakening past loves. The series also stars Majida Issa, Fabian Rios, Catherine Siachoque and Carolina Gaitan.

In this new season of “Sin Senos si hay Paraíso,” the story takes us back 20 years to the events that left their mark on all of the series’ protagonists, but especially Catalina la Grande, taken for dead after the attack she planned to end her own life. After gambling with death, Catalina comes back to life: She is admitted to the hospital in critical condition, but her heart won’t give up the fight. While she is recovering, she meets the two men who will help her begin a new chapter in her life.

The first is Martín, a detective with the Antinarcotics Agency, who offers his support on the condition that she continue to fake her death so she can join the TEA’s witness protection program. In exchange for a new life in the United States, Catalina must supply the TEA with names and routes used by the mafia. The second man is Santiago Sanín, the doctor who devotes himself to saving Catalina and ends up falling in love with her. Shortly after Catalina is transferred to the United States, Santiago visits her and the two decide to get married. They have two children, Sebastián and Mariana.

As the new season begins, we get a better understanding of the characters’ lives during the years that Catalina la Grande struggled to remake her life abroad. In Colombia, Jota is the only one who knows she is still alive, but he promises to protect her secret and bring her news about her family. He becomes her link to information from back home.


In the meantime, La Diabla has convinced Marcial that she is carrying his child. She approaches Octavio, a corrupt politician, with a deal he can’t refuse: If he will impregnate her, she will finance his political campaigns. La Diabla then betrays Marcial, turning him into the TEA and making off with his fortune while awaiting the birth of her daughter, Daniela.

As the years pass, Catalina La Grande learns about the war between La Diabla and Catalina’s mother, ex-boyfriend and younger sister. As the only one with motives in both her past and present to battle Yésica, Catalina puts pressure on the TEA to support her. Even though she knows she is risking the new family she spent years to build, she travels to Colombia to capture La Diabla. This brings us to the point where last season ended, with Catalina leading a major operation to apprehend her old foe.

After the first week of the new season, which shows what happens to the characters after Catalina la Grande fakes her own death, the story continues as we learn what led her to return to Colombia after so many years abroad. In addition to affecting her new family, her decision stirs up old passions. Catalina’s reencounter with Albeiro and her mother, Doña Hilda, creates tension for all three as the emotions of the past collide with the present and put relationships to the test.


The return of Catalina la Grande also brings her daughter, Mariana, face to face with Catalina La Pequeña and Daniela in a meeting that will change the three women’s lives forever. And a beauty pageant becomes the battlefield where Catalina La Pequeña teaches Daniela that honesty, intelligence and real beauty will always prevail over corruption and good looks bought with money and plastic surgery.


The show is rumored to be coming this year in December to Telemundo and we are all shook!!  A very tantalising story that will cause controversy among Telemundo fans. We'll have to wait till the end of the year for a confirmation.
