Jasmine Lin is working hard to make more of a name for herself as a Latinx actress in Hollywood, just preferably not in association with break up headlines. Ashton Suarez is famous in Spanish speaking Telenovelas, but wants to break out as a Latinx star in Hollywood as well. Placed together as the new costars of Carmen In Charge, an American take on a telenovela, things begin to heat up between costars…
Okay, first of all - can someone make Carmen In Charge a real show for me??? Because I’m obsessed with these English speaking telenovelas. The family events for both main characters? In love! Who doesn’t love lightly meddling families? Sometimes the character connections could be a bit shallow, but I honestly loved this as a light fun rom-com and now need to devour all of Daría’s backlist! 😍
