Είσαι το Ταίρι μου ("You are my soulmate") is a Greek series played on Mega Channel. This series has 30 episodes and started in October 2001.
The story starts in Melbourne, Australia with two women. Vicky is a beautiful tall Greek woman who works as a model and, despite her good looks, has little luck with men (her concern being that nobody looks beyond her appearance). She is friends with Stella, a short and overweight woman, who was born in Australia to Greek parents and works as a fashion designer at her own atelier. Stella and best friend and co-worker Toula, who is also overweight, have a big crush on Nikos Bezendakos, a Greek businessman whom they gaze every day out of the shop window while he is on his way to the gym. Meanwhile, Stella has developed an internet relationship with Grigoris, a fast-food employee in Greece. It is not long before Vicky (unaware of Stella's crush on Nikos) and Nikos meet, fall in love and get engaged and Stella decides to leave her dreams of Nikos behind and travel to Greece to meet Grigoris in person. At the same time Vicky also decides to travel to Greece to meet Nikos' family and make preparations for their wedding and rebooks her ticket on the same flight as Stella.
While on a stopover in Bangkok Airport, Vicky is stressed at the idea of meeting Nikos' parents and comes up with an idea. She wants Stella and herself to switch places so that Stella will meet her future in-laws (to see what they're like) and so that she will meet Grigoris (in order to discover what he really thinks of Stella). Stella rejects her idea but Vicky puts her plan in action at Athens Airport, leaving Stella behind to meet her in-laws. From this moment on, Vicky becomes "Stella" and Stella becomes "Vicky", Nikos' fiancée.
"Vicky" (Stella) immediately wants to tell the truth to Nikos' family (for fear of legal problems if her real identity is revealed), however she is unable to partly because Nikos' family becomes emotionally attached to her (and, being an orphan, doesn't want to upset them) and partly because she immediately falls in love with Sotiris, Nikos' rebellious younger brother. In the meantime, she has to deal with Vera and Lykourgos, Nikos' overprotective and caring parents (who adore their supposed future daughter-in-law), grandpa Nikos (who soon realizes that she is not really who she is supposed to be but doesn't give away her secret), Nikos' neurotic and overbearing sister Annetta (who greatly dislikes her) and Annetta's docile and submissive husband Panagiotis. Panagiotis, impressed by Stella's outgoing personality develops a secret crush on her and, due to a misunderstanding, she thinks that Sotiris is in love with her.
