Pecadora ("Sinner") is a telenovela produced in Miami, Florida by Venevision Productions, LLC.
It began airing on November 9, 2009, via TC Televisión in Ecuador at 22:00. It was released in Venezuela on August 25, 2010 at 3pm by the original channel Venevision. Univision began airing the telenovela on May 3, 2010 at the 12pm/11c timeslot. It has since aired in Colombia, Canada, Mexico, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala and Bulgaria.
Pecadora is a remake of Como en el Cine and is written by the original writer, Verónica Suárez. In turn Como en el Cine is apparently a spin-off of a movie entitled "Coyote Ugly" wherein dancers danced on a bar counter.
Eduardo Capetillo and Litzy Dominguez are the main stars alongside Marjorie de Sousa, Daniel Elbittar, Maritza Bustamante, Ariel López Padilla, Silvana Arias, and others.
The plot sort of inches along slowly with a multitude of repetitive discussions by various characters about what some plan to do and about what has already happened, along with flash-backs. Much time is spent filming girls dancing on the bar with the audience reactions.
To the eyes of the world, Luz María is a successful psychologist who makes enough money to take care of her family and to pay for a luxurious boarding school education for her younger sister, though the story did not develop the psychology practice to any significant extent. The audience sees Luz fake being a psychologist only briefly. In reality, Luz María makes her living as a dancer in a nightclub, though really most of the time it is other girls the audience sees dancing and not Luz María. Although she did study psychology at university, she was forced to leave school at the death of her father, and she left it in charge of her brothers. The story line about Luz María is weakly developed (her role being almost a MacGuffin role) while the role of the antagonist, Samantha, is much developed.
Ashamed to admit her true occupation, Luz María has arranged things to deceive everyone, maintaining a low profile and keeping few close friends. But when she meets Bruno, her secret becomes a heavy load that threatens to destroy her happiness.
