Bésame Tonto ("Kiss Me, Fool") is a 2003 Spanish language television soap opera as a joint Peruvian, Ecuadorian and Venezuelan production[1] that received high ratings in Latin American countries as well as Russia, Germany and the Philippines and was filmed in Peru.
[2] It first aired on February 10, 2003 and starred Peruvian actress Gianella Neyra and Argentinian actor Segundo Cernadas who were dating in real life at the time.
Romulo has characteristics that are somewhat atypical of the love heroes of these types of television shows: he wears glasses, greases his hair and chooses to use overalls or plaid shirts.
When Mr. Rossini becomes injured in an attack, he decides to hide and leaves Lima to live in Peru's interior, from where he contacts Romulo to find out how things are going back at home.
Complicating Romulo's family life are a sick father who is in his 60s, a stepmother who becomes pregnant, then loses her baby during another attack by Rossini's rival gang, and a brother who is more interested in money than anything else.
