Ugly Betty
Sep 14th, 2006 by Ashley
New ABC drama, adapted from Yo soy Betty, la fea (I’m Betty, the ugly one), one of the most famous telenovelas (soap operas) from Colombia.
Saw it on ABC sneak peak last night. The fragment they showed reminded me a lot of The Devil Wears Prada: a seemingly unattractive girl who doesn’t have a sense of fashion dreams of working in the fashion world; first day of work, people marked “Are you here for the Before/After shoot?”; Claimed hard working and intelligent, still somehow manage to be clumsy. It seems to me that they took a lot directly from the movie/novel.
Anyways, not gonna watch it.
