Son amores

• "Yo sé", the memorable song from this character in the telenovela "Son Amores", is back and promises to be one of the hits of the summer.

• Pol-ka revolutionized television in the mid-90s with shows that blended everyday realism with genres like drama, action, and romance; it introduced filming on real locations instead of stiff sets, elevated small-screen star power, and sparked authentic cultural phenomena that crossed over into music and theater, as was the case with the memorable "Son amores".

• The actor recalled the song that played everywhere when the Pol-ka series was an absolute craze in 2002 and 2003.

• Martínez played Martín Marquesi, who played football alongside his brother Pablo and went by the nickname "El Rey Sol," theatrically belting out a song that became an absolute sensation without ever needing social media.

• Nicolás Cabré and Mariano Martínez are nothing like their characters in "Son amores". Cabré doesn't shout like Pablo—quite the opposite. And Martínez is far from having Martín's breezy audacity. In the space between their true personalities and their characters, something magic happens, something people call chemistry. That indefinable quality accounts for much of the success of the most-watched show on television.
