Ok, I love the twist though that he had the wrong generation of Sergio! This was so fun.

Also, I am very curious about what could be more dramatic than having a mermaid 😂 but I really love your take on the story!

Thank you! I had a blast writing this out. 😊

The Wikipedia on the telenovela, alone, will show just *how much* happens in the series, lol!

I love that you had all the cuss words in Spanish, which normally works as a soft censor...and then listed all the definitions at the end. 😂

Beautiful story! Are there any current telenovelas you'd recommend? Or older ones that I might be able to find somewhere? With or without mermaids 😉

I guess I turned out to be the one who teaches curse words, lol! But honestly, I'm still playing around with when to offer translations. And believe me, that's not *all* the cuss words I could have used. 😆

Thank you! To be honest, I only watched telenovelas with my mom growing up. Jane the Virgin is the last telenovela-adjacent series I've watched, and that one is based off of the Venezuelan telenovela, Juana la Virgen.
