Estaba viendo la telenovela y he perdido la noci\u00f3n del tiempo.<br \/>\nOliver: \u00bfVes telenovelas?<br \/>\nLidia: Normalmente no. Pero \u2018Comprometida\u2019 es una telenovela diferente. Es buen\u00edsima. Trata de una mujer con el coraz\u00f3n roto que busca venganza. Hay acci\u00f3n, pasi\u00f3n, romance\u2026<br \/>\nOliver: Mi peor pesadilla.<br \/>\nLidia: \u00a1Oliver venga! No digas eso, hombre. Te vendr\u00eda bien ver telenovelas para mejorar tu espa\u00f1ol.<br \/>\nOliver: No gracias. Prefiero ver documentales sobre gusanos.<br \/>\nLidia: Me est\u00e1s tomando el pelo, pero no me importa. Me encanta \u2018Comprometida\u2019. El episodio de hoy ha sido buen\u00edsimo. Carmela iba a besar por fin al amor de su vida, Carlos Jos\u00e9, pero el hombre la abraz\u00f3 en lugar de besarla. Es que \u00e9l no la quiere.

Es que la mujer con el coraz\u00f3n roto no es Carmela. Es su hermana Abigail. Carlos Jos\u00e9 le rompi\u00f3 el coraz\u00f3n a Abigail, \u00e9l ahora se arrepiente y quiere volver con ella. \u00a1Y Carmela, la hermana de Abigail, est\u00e1 enamorada de Carlos Jos\u00e9!<br \/>\nOliver: Lidia, me duele la cabeza.<br \/>\nLidia: Vale, venga. \u00bfNos tomamos unas ca\u00f1as?<br \/>\nOliver: S\u00ed venga.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, how did you get on?
