María la del Barrio
Created by Inés Rodena
A classic telenovela built on romantic longing and class-conflict melodrama, sustained across 185 episodes through escalating obstacles and emotional intensity.
A brave, poor young girl is welcomed into a rich family and develops a romance with their misogynist youngest son, driving a woman already in love with him to go to great lengths to destroy their relationship.
