Lo que la vida me robó (English title: What Life Took From Me) is a Mexican telenovela produced by Angelli Nesma Medina for Televisa, broadcast by Canal de las Estrellas (now known simply as Las Estrellas). The series originally aired from October 28, 2013, to July 27, 2014. It is an adaptation of the 1983 telenovela Bodas de odio produced by Ernesto Alonso, which also inspired Amor real, produced by Carla Estrada in 2003.

The series stars Daniela Castro, Angelique Boyer, Sebastián Rulli, Luis Roberto Guzmán, Sergio Sendel, Rogelio Guerra, Don Eric del Castillo, Grettell Valdez, Alberto Estrella, Ana Bertha Espín, Juan Carlos Barreto, and Gabriela Rivero.

The telenovela tells the story of Montserrat, whom her mother has chosen to be the solution of the family's economic problems, forcing her to marry a wealthy young man.

Univision aired Lo que la vida me robó on November 18, 2013 weeknights at 9pm/8c replacing La Tempestad. The last episode was broadcast on August 15, 2014 with Hasta el fin del mundo replacing it on August 18, 2014.

Plot

This story unfolds in Aguazul, a picturesque town where Montserrat (Angelique Boyer), a beautiful young woman from a privileged background, lives, leading her to dream of a perfect life. Montserrat is constantly manipulated by her mother, Graciela Giacinti (Daniela Castro), whose only concern is social appearances and who, therefore, is unwilling to relinquish her social status, even though her husband, Lauro Mendoza (Rogelio Guerra), a retired admiral, has lost everything.

Montserrat has become the solution to her family's socioeconomic problems, as her mother has chosen the ideal husband for her: Sebastián de Icaza (Osvaldo de León), the son of one of Aguazul's most influential families. However, she is unwilling to marry a man chosen for convenience, especially since she is actually in love with someone else: José Luis (Luis Roberto Guzmán), a corporal in the navy. Her parents are unaware of this romance, and this worries Montserrat.

José Luis, for his part, feels that his relationship with Montserrat is going nowhere, since deep down he knows that the Mendoza family will never accept him because he has no promising future to share with Montserrat.

Meanwhile, Alejandro (Sebastián Rulli), a hardworking young farmhand on a nearby ranch with aspirations for a better life, learns a truth: his father is Don Benjamín Almonte (Alfredo Adame), a cruel, powerful, and wealthy man who revealed this secret to his son on his deathbed. Alejandro doesn't take this news well, and at the same time as this shocking event unfolds, life intervenes when he meets Montserrat, with whom he is immediately captivated.

Montserrat decides to break off her engagement to Sebastián; her mother, Graciela, becomes furious, as she saw this marriage as the only way to settle their debts. Graciela refuses to give up and begins searching for another suitor for her daughter. She learns that a farmhand named Alejandro is the heir to Don Benjamín, making him the ideal suitor for Montserrat, as he could ensure the continuation of the status and privileges they have enjoyed.

In her desperation, Graciela openly asks Alejandro for financial assistance. He agrees to support the Mendoza family on the sole condition that he be allowed to court her daughter, Montserrat. Graciela doesn't hesitate for a moment and accepts the proposal, making Alejandro swear that Montserrat must not find out about the arrangement.

Meanwhile, Montserrat and José Luis are discovered in their relationship by Graciela and her ambitious son, Dimitrio (Osvaldo Benavides), who, unwilling to jeopardize their promising future, set about separating them.

They quickly achieve their goal, causing Montserrat to change her perception of José Luis when the authorities frame him for a murder he didn't commit, leading to his arrest and imprisonment.

But the situation becomes complicated when Graciela notices that Montserrat doesn't want to get romantically involved with Alejandro; therefore, she is forced to confess the truth about their financial situation to her daughter. Despite her principles and knowing that it's the only way to help her family avoid complete ruin, Montserrat agrees to marry Alejandro, just as José Luis reappears to reveal the truth about the injustice he suffered and to show her that he truly loves her.

It's too late, though, because Montserrat is now Alejandro Almonte's wife.

Filming

The filming of the telenovela officially began on August 2, 2013, in the state of Campeche, Mexico. The first actors confirmed apart from Angelique Boyer and Sebastián Rulli were Osvaldo Benavides, Grettell Valdez and Alexis Ayala, who play the roles of the villains, among others.[1]

Several episodes of the telenovela were filmed outdoors and at the Uayamón Hacienda in Campeche, where temperatures exceeded 30 °C. Because the production team decided to extend the number of episodes, filming often lasted more than 16 hours a day.[2] Some weeks after filming began, production was suspended due to the bad weather.[3]

Several photos were posted on Twitter; some were taken on the beaches of Yucatán and historic sites like Telchac Puerto, Celestún and Mérida.[4]
