Tres veces Ana

Para verte mejor is a Venezuelan telenovela written by Mónica Montañes and produced by Sandra Riobóo for Venevisión.[4] The series is starring Michelle de Andrade as Ana, José Ramón Barreto as Guillermo[5] and Luis Gerónimo Abreu as Onofre.[6] It premiered on July 25, 2017[7][8] and ended on December 5, 2017.

Plot

Several families move into an apartment building with their illusions, fears and secrets. But no one can imagine the danger they are facing from Onofre Villahermosa, a charming, handsome, friendly neighbour who is actually a criminal, a murderer and psychopath who has installed hidden cameras all over the building to monitor the lives of the occupants and manipulate them like puppets while trying to ensure no one discovers who he really is.

Several years before, Ana de los Ángeles had a chance encounter with Guillermo who helped to heal her pet dog after it had an accident in the countryside, and it was love at first sight for the two of them. However, they meet years later in the worst of circumstances: she is engaged to his cousin Cristóbal, while he is married and has a young daughter.

All of the characters will fall in love at different ages, falling in love for the first time, after a divorce, after already having grown up children or even grandchildren. But what all these couples have in common is that love will be very difficult, even impossible.

Casting

On May 13, 2016 Sheryl Rubio and José Ramón Barreto were confirmed as the protagonists of the series,[15] In July 2016, Rubio confirmed her departure from production due to the current problems and insecurity that occur in Venezuela and explained:

I went for the situation of the country, it is not easy; The people in Venezuela are suffering ".[16]

After the incident Monica Montañés had to rewrite the character that would play Rubio, because she had been working with the character based on the actress for months.[17] On August 12, 2016, Venevisión reported that Michelle de Andrade would be Sheryl Rubio's replacement in the telenovela and would be the main protagonist of the series.[18][19] Andrade was in Brazil, when he was called by his manager to assist in the casting of production.[20]
