THE STORY IS SET IN 1913
The whole world is on the brink of the abyss, but there are havens of
peace isolated from the conflicts. Like the La Promesa Palace, in the
Los Pedroches valley, owned by the Marqueses de Luján, one of the
largest landowners in the country. That day the Palace dresses up to
celebrate the wedding of the heir, Tomás, but the appearance of an
airplane attracts everyone's attention. It is piloted by Manuel (Arturo
Sancho), son of
the Marqueses. Suddenly, the device loses height until
it crashes. Manuel is about to be consumed by the flames; but someone
manages to save him: Jana (Ana Garcés). The Marquis offers her a
financial reward, but she only wants
a job at the Palace and has a clear
motive: to bring justice to her mother, who was murdered fifteen years
ago, and to investigate the whereabouts of her brother, kidnapped when
he was a newborn. And the only clue he has is
related to the Marqueses
de Luján. The time has come for revenge. There is only one element that
she hadn't counted on: Manuel, son of the Marqueses... and the last
person she would expect to fall in love with.

They can sell it as Downton Abbey, but it's basically Gran Hotel.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very polished.
DeleteStill haven't watched DA yet...it's just too many seasons for me.
ReplyDeleteYou haven't missed much, I watched only the first one and found it terribly snobbish and dreary with horrid, unlikeable characters and boring stories.
DeleteLike Angie, I've never seen Downtown Abbey either. In fact, I recently learned that I didn't even know HOW to say the work Downtown properly. lol That being said, this doesn't look so bad! I love the costumes.
ReplyDeleteNot Downtown jeezuz, it is DOWNTON lol
DeleteMaybe that's why I was saying it wrong?? lol
DeleteYou think? LOL
DeleteDownton Abby was my little pleasure when it was on. Unlike you, I was totally sucked in during season 1. I do agree with Malena that this one looks more Gran Hotel, less Downton. I don't think I'll get sucked into this one as quickly, but I do think I will enjoy it well enough.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone gets it over in USA.
