TELENOVELA WATCH: 'Reina de Coazones' Premiere Plus Thoughts on 'Manual para ser feliz' and Favorites for the Week

Reina de Coazones premieres tonight.

REINA DE CORAZONES premieres tonight on Telemundo at 8 p.m. ET. This is the latest Miami telenovela from Telemundo. It sadly has nothing to do with the bizarre late 1990s Venezuelan telenovela of the same name that starred Emma Rabbe and Roberto Mateos. No, this REINA comes courtesy of writer Marcela Citterio, whose last three telenovelas – AURORA, CORAZÓN VALIENTE, and CHICA VAMPIRO – are each contenders for the worst telenovela made the year they were produced.

The story from the press materials: Reina is a humble seamstress “who must overcome the barriers of amnesia to find true love. The story unfolds around mystery, espionage, conspiracy, intrigue, crime and romance, the super-production is set in Las Vegas, Nevada - Sin City - where casinos and nightlife play a leading role in the action.”

REINA DE CORAZONES stars Eugenio Siller in his third leading role at Telemundo. He’s batting .500 at the network after starring in the successful, fine UNA MAID EN MANHATTAN in 2011 and the aforementioned abysmal AURORA in 2010. The lead actress is Paola Núñez in her first role for Telemundo following a string of telenovelas for Azteca in Mexico, most recently the flop DESTINO from last year. The antagonists are played by Telemundo favorite Catherine Siachoque, last seen in LA CASA DE LA LADO, and Juan Soler, his second role for the network after a disappointing fey performance in MARIDO EN ALQUILER last year. Televisa veteran actress Laura Flores moves over to Telemundo in her first full role after a cameo in EN OTRA PIEL. Rounding out the cast are by this point overly familiar Miami Telemundo faces like Henry Zakka (PASIÓN PROHIBIDA), Paulo Quevedo (MARIDO EN ALQUILER), Pablo Azar (MARIDO EN ALQUILER), Wanda D’Isidoro (SANTA DIABLA), Rosalinda Rodríguez (DAMA Y OBRERO) and Paloma Márquez (EL ROSTRO DE LA VENGANZA).
