Perro Amor (Cruel Love) is a Spanish-language telenovela produced by the United States-based television network Telemundo that originally ran in the United States from January to July 2010. This is a Colombian remake of the 1998 Cenpro Televisión daily telenovela Perro Amor, written by Natalia Ospina and Andrés Salgado. As with most of its other telenovelas, Telemundo broadcast English subtitles as closed captions on CC3.
The action takes place in Miami, Florida. Perro amor tells the story of two lovers: Antonio "el perro (Dog)" Brando (Carlos Ponce) and Camila Brando (Maritza Rodríguez), who are also cousins. Ever since their teens, they have been playing at love. Now they are two lovers trying to live a life full of adventure, passion, conquests and bets. Anything goes: making love in a window in the bathroom of their office, or on the day of Antonio's wedding. All under one condition: no love between them, nor for anyone else. Love is a game, and the one who falls in love loses.
Antonio is all set to marry Daniela (Maritza Bustamante), the daughter of his father's business partner. But on their wedding day Camila makes him one of her famous bets: he wouldn't dare leave the bride at the altar. Antonio accepts the bet and goes through with it, refusing to say "I do" regardless of the likely consequences: Daniela's dad is the largest investor in the Brando family's construction company. Antonio's offensive behavior jeopardizes an important development project in which the Brando family's fortune is tied up, leaving the Brandos on the brink of bankruptcy. Also, on the day of the wedding, while preparing for the wedding (and after making love to Camila), through the window he spots Sofia (Ana Lucía Domínguez), whose mother is the caterer for the wedding and Sofia her assistant.
Parallel to this, the cash-pressed Brando family business deceives and defrauds Dagoberto (Gerardo Riveron), who represents a group of poor homeowners, who are said to benefit from the project that Daniela's father is investing in, but the Brandos, (notably Camila and her husband Gonzalo (Rodrigo de la Rosa) as the other members of the family are not familiar with the real master plan, as Camila is the head of the project), take possession of the houses in the neighborhood and then refuse to pay for them. This drives Dagoberto to take his own life rather than face the neighbors who trusted him. His son, Rocky (Khotan Fernández) swears revenge. Rocky is an honest young man who dreams of being a musician, a promising pop singer who is in love with Sofia, offering her a sincere love without lies or bets. He's trying everything he could do to take revenge on the Brandos.
