Series overview

Season 1 (2022)

Maricucha is a young cook who arrives in Lima from her native Cajamarca to work in the house of the Corbacho family, a dysfunctional family with members who are ambitious, lazy, indifferent, and believe they own the world thanks to the money of the patriarch, Antonio. They live without worries or anything affecting their superficial lives. However, Maricucha's arrival at the Corbacho house will turn every member of the family upside down, and they will do everything possible to get rid of her. Nevertheless, Maricucha does not let herself be easily defeated, while at the same time she will find love in the family's heir: Renato.

Season 2 (2022–23)

After being humiliated by the Corbachos, Maricucha decides to travel to Cajamarca where she reunites with her family but at the same time gets involved in new troubles, having to deal with Rosmery, her cousin who has usurped her place within the family, and with Gregorio, her childhood best friend who is determined to win her over. Renato convinces Maricucha to return to Lima, and her family members also move to the capital city one by one. However, back in Lima, Maricucha faces a new and powerful enemy: the corrupt and cruel businessman Raymundo Rossi.
