Me atrevo a amarte (English: Dare to Love) is a Mexican telenovela produced by Salvador MejÃÂa for TelevisaUnivision. It is based on the 2007 Turkish series Asi, created by à Âebnem ÃÂñtak and Gül Dirican. The series stars Kimberly Dos Ramos and Rodrigo Guirao. It aired on Las Estrellas from 24 February 2025 to 22 June 2025.
The telenovela begins when Fernando Pérez-Soler unjustly orders his son Valente to unleash dogs to catch Alejandro, who is falsely accused of stealing an expensive watch. During the chase, Crisanta, mother of Alejandro and ÃÂmbar, dies in the river. Déborah, Crisanta's sister, gives birth to Valente's son, but Delfino, the foreman, exchanges him for his dead son, making Valente believe that the baby died. Déborah must leave the ranch with her nephews, she blames Valente for all her tragedies and vows to take revenge on him. Valente marries Diana, daughter of the landowner Dionisio, believing that Déborah is a bad woman. Dionisio causes the death of his wife Olivia, when he learns that she is cheating on him with Fernando.
Twenty-five years later, Alejandro returns to town to seek justice for the death of his mother and for the harm done to his aunt Déborah, who also returns to the ranch with a desire for revenge. Alejandro meets Victoria when he saves her from drowning in the river, and from that moment on he falls in love with her, without realizing that she is the daughter of Valente, who he believes is guilty of his mother's death. Victoria will have to face the hatred of Déborah, Alejandro's aunt, who will use Lucrecia, Alejandro's ex-girlfriend, to separate the couple.
Valente's life is turned upside down when he learns that Gabino, the son he had with Déborah, never died. Déborah also discovers that her son is alive, she finds him and manipulates him with her vengeful attitude. Alejandro will learn that Dionisio stole some land from his father, causing his death; and that Valente, in reality, is a victim of Deborah's evil plans. The only thing that will matter to Alejandro is to show Victoria that he never wanted to harm her and that he loves her deeply.
