The Lord of Love It will be Mega’s first remake of a TVN soap opera, and will feature Gabriel Canas in his main role.
The rest of the cast completes it María Gracia Omegna, Nicholas Oyarzún, Francisco Dañobeitía and Luz Valdivieso, who will play Leontina, the housekeeper of the estate of José Luis Echeñiquewhom she loves in silence.
“Leontina fascinates me, I think it is super challenging because it has a side, of course, very dark and on the other hand it also has a certain fragility.. I love it despite all the prejudices against it, its evil. She amuses me. I think she has a point,” the actress assured HoyxHoy.
Unlike some of his colleagues, Valdivieso confesses that He did not watch the original television series broadcast in 2008. “I don’t know what world I was in”, said. “But I’m lucky that I didn’t see ‘El Señor de la Querencia’. I have images, but I didn’t see it as a complete story,” he added.
“So, I was very concerned about not looking at the previous version so as not to have references and that ultimately my only reference was the text and the work with my colleagues today,” he commented.
The original character was played by Bárbara Ruíz-Tagle, who a few weeks ago, through his social networks, referred to his experience recording the production.
“Today I was taking off my makeup and conchalevale, I saw Leontina. I remembered the most difficult character I have ever had to play on television”, he started pointing out on his Instagram account.
“I was 27 years old and the impact on an emotional level It was so intense that I wanted to quit acting.then it passed away… Today I remember her with love and gratitude,” added the interpreter.
