Novela "Sin tetas no hay paraiso" Realistic or not?

I watched the entire season on you tube and found it very entertaining.....My question to people living in Colombia.... Is it realistic or complete fantasy?
Although my Spanish is poor, I was able to follow it (for the most part).
It says it is based on true events (from a book?) during the opening.

Mrs. Gator never missed an episode and loved(s) ever minute. "Is it realistic or complete fantasy"
Likely the best answer is "Adopted for television."

some girls I befriended in bogota told me that sadly it is reality for some in colombia. she may have been speaking of prostitution in general tho.

I also saw a short student film at a bar with one of her friends and asked her why all the colombian films I'd seen were so depressing. she remarked matter of factly that its because art imitates life and a lot of people have it rough in colombia.

I watch it and I laugh my ass off on how realistic so many of the scenarios those girls get in are. Of course many of the scenarios are exaggerated for TV Novela affect.

But the crocodile tears(sometimes), the EVERYTHING is drama, financial woes, infidelity, cute young girls forced to dance in strip bars, outrageous plots ea Mom stealing daughters boyfriend, girl getting married for money to rich hanous mafioso types etc etc ALL very true in one way or another,

It is a fact and sad as well that some parents are in favor of breast implants on their teeager dauthers becasue they believe they will have more oportunities in life.

There will be the colombian movie version with a live breast implant surgery.

Geez, the stories my wife can tell from her days running with the Mafiosa princesses, hell, yeah, if anything it's tamer than real life.

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

It's very realistic.
