Synopsis

This comedy is about a man named Ramiro "Lalo" Padilla (Juan Gil Navarro), who is director of the company "High Five", editor of the famous magazine "Don", and has many women around him. Romina (Marcela Kloosterboer), who is in love with Lalo, decides to avenge his lack of commitment by hiring a witch, who has him undergo a spell and turn him into a very beautiful woman, as Romina wanted to make him feel so desperate like a woman who is being harassed.

Now, this man locked in a woman's body tries to pass himself off as someone else, because nobody will believe that he's suffered metamorphosis. So, she enters in the company as Dolores "Lola" Padilla (Carla Peterson), cousin of Lalo, because Lalo "had to make an urgent trip to Germany because his father became ill", and therefore left her in his post.

From this start, very funny situations happen, in which Lalo begins to discovers Grace (Muriel Santa Ana), her best friend, and all the things that make women different from men: using heels, wearing skirts, menstruation, and so on. Gradually, she notices some people who were with Lalo, including his best friend, Gaston (Rafael Ferro). Without realizing it, she starts to get closer to coworker Facundo (Luciano Castro).

From Friday, September 28, Reina Reech joined this comedy as Carola, the wife of Mr. Aguirre, president of the editorial "High Five"-she is actually the owner of the company.
