This novela is about a cheesy but charming macho man who lives in a small town in Colombia. He moves to the city to find his fortune and encounters a series of events and people that change his life dramatically. Pedro (also known as Chris) is the epitome of a man who can get all the women he wants, but can't get the one he loves.

History

The story of Pedro Coral Tavera (Miguel Varoni) is not just any narrative. He is not the typical gallant: he is not rich, he is not handsome, he does not dress well, he thinks he is a good dancer. It is the story of an inveterate womanizer, an implacable heartthrob who arrives in Bogotá escaping from his hometown due to nothing more and nothing less than a problem with skirts.

Upon arrival, Pedro, a “scaly”, smart and in love being, 'stumbles' with the love of his life, Paula Dávila (Sandra Reyes), and in less than 48 hours he ends up being her driver and confidant. Not only that, it also becomes the great livelihood of the Pacheco family, made up exclusively of women, whom the man of the house has just left to go to the other world. This is how Pedrito Coral Tavera finds the perfect setting to perform and display his scales. Create his own universe, full of big lies, but good intentions. And, finally, this recalcitrant seducer ends up being the key person in the life of every human being who crosses his path, spreading joy with his 'smile from ear to ear' and his particular way of dressing, speaking and moving.
