"We recently broadcast a fourth edition through Canal RCN and once again we became number one in ratings in prime time of 2019."

"Yo soy Betty, la fea" is an original story by Fernando Gaitán, produced by RCN Televisión, which in 2010 received Guinness World Records as the most successful soap opera on TV. Since its premiere, it has been broadcast in 180 countries, dubbed into 25 languages ​​and with almost 20 adaptations worldwide.
