The series stars Aarón Díaz and Ana Brenda Contreras. The two had previously worked together on the popular telenovela Teresa, for Televisa. During our interview, Díaz explained how he fell in love with this character, Eugenio Casasola. “First of all, I fell in love with the story. It’s an amazing book. It’s a saga. I found out later it’s a saga, it’s not just the book. So there’s four books to the saga now. It’s called La Saga de Casasola”, Díaz Explained.

He also goes on to explain how he admires this character. Díaz told us, ” Basically what he does for a living, I think it’s a very noble cause. And he’s very passionate about what he does. He’s very intense with what he does. And I really identify with that in a different way, of course. But I’m very passionate and intense with my work, and I think that that made me really identify with the character and understand him.”
