TELENOVELA WATCH: 'Lo Imperdonable' Premiere, 'Hasta el Fin Del Mundo' Finale

Lo Imperdonable premieres May 18 on Univision.

LO IMPERDONABLE premieres Monday at 9 p.m. ET on Univision. A Mexican telenovela from Televisa, it is the umpteenth version of Caridad Bravo Adams’s LA MENTIRA, which dates back to the 1950s. It is baffling why Televisa would approve another version of this story after CUANDO ME ENAMORO, a decent modern adaptation, was made by the network just five years ago.

It is a revenge telenovela: a man blames an unknown woman for his brother’s suicide and vows vengeance. He meets a beautiful woman and comes to believe she is the one who ruined his brother’s life, so naturally he seduces and marries the woman and proceeds to make her life miserable.

LO IMPERDONABLE stars Ana Brenda Contreras whose previous two telenovelas, LA QUE NO PODÍA AMAR and CORAZÓN INDOMABLE, were very successful with US audiences. Spanish actor Iván Sánchez is the protagonist, best known for his role in LA REINA DEL SUR and most recently seen as the crazy violinist antagonist of LA TEMPESTAD.
