Amar y temer is a 2011 Colombian telenovela produced and broadcast by Caracol TV and Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Synopsis

Alicia Aragón, a feminist in the 1950s, fakes her own death to escape from her husband, Pascual Ordóñez, and flees to Bogotá, where—disguised as Alberto, a man working at a newspaper—she meets Simón Oviedo, a boxer hoping to become Colombia's first world champion.

History

The series premiered on February 23, 2011; its title had been changed from Los tiempos de la violencia ("The Times of Violence"), which reflected the machismo which was prevalent in Colombia during the decade. It was the second Caracol–Sony coproduction after Los caballeros las prefieren brutas (2008).

The telenovela struggled in the ratings; at the time, Caracol's telenovelas were failing to draw viewers from rival RCN, and the channel was known at the time for its practice of moving the time slots of shows or cutting them back without further warning. This occurred to the show in May, when Amar y temer was moved to a midnight time slot.

The program was nominated for a Premio India Catalina [es], for Best Telenovela, in 2012; Hoyos and del Solar were nominated for Best Lead Actress and Best Lead Actor, respectively. However, it did not win any of the awards.
