Plot

In the story, Mónica (Mercedes Morán), María Emilia (Carla Peterson), Lorena (Florencia Bertotti), Laura (Isabel Macedo) and Andrea (Araceli González) they know each other when the bank in which they had their finances suddenly closes and keeps the money from all the deposits. So, from one day to the next, the dreams and projects of each are truncated. Seven years after that fateful day of 2007, the five have become very friendly, but they have not yet been able to recover from that loss and eagerly seek economic and emotional order. It will take a new and unexpected path in their lives so they can reflect deeply on their personal stories. Something like a second chance. The last to fall in love, perform, build a family, follow the vocation, heal wounds or simply overcome fears, those that paralyze and do not allow progress. After all, they are not perfect, they are guapas.

Production

All five protagonists are famous Argentinian actresses and most of them had worked together at previous telenovelas. Although they are not personal friends, they commented that they have no problems working together, and do not foresee any internal problems like those suffered by Farsantes. Farsantes, the previous telenovela, had fights between the actors that led many of them to leave it before its conclusion.[1] The actress Mercedes Morán is the mother of the actress Mercedes Scápola, and their characters are mother and daughter in the plot as well.[1] Morán had encouraged her daughter to have her own acting career, and made a cameo with her in the 2012 telenovela Graduados. Both of them felt that Guapas was the appropriate time for a steady joint work.[1] Morán's character and that played by Dady Brieva are a couple; both actors had been lead actors in a previous telenovela, Gasoleros.[2]

Actress Araceli González returned to Pol-ka for this production. She was the lead actress of Carola Casini, one of the first telenovelas by Pol-ka. She was married with Adrián Suar, president of Pol-ka, by then; they divorced and now both of them are married with other people. González commented that she had known the company when it was just a medium enterprise, and that she has several relatives working in it.[3]

Reception

The telenovela's main competitor is Sres. Papis, a telenovela aired by Telefe, with a mainly male cast. On the first day it was aired, Guapas got 16.3 rating points, against 12 points for Sres. Papis.[2]
