Patricia (Miren Iberguren) has her hands full , she's a hard-working executive at an investment bank in the 21st century , being helped by her efficient secretary (Gracia Olayo) . Not only is she a chief at an investment bank, but she is determined to be the perfect mother to her three kids, the perfect spouse to her dentist husband (Diego Martin) , the perfect daughter to her mother (Marta Fernandez Muro) , and the perfect sister to her sister (Barbara Goenaga) . Incredibly, she usually combines perfectly both qualities, housewife and competent management chief. Like finding a gap in her timetable where there is none so she can receive the prestigious "Woman of the Year" award. Or winning back a super-important client snatched away by her worst rival. In short, Patricia is used to having it all. And when things get in her way, things get dramatic or hilarious--mostly both.

Entertaining comedy series with fine actors , adequate cinematography , sensitive score and professional direction . This attractive comedy contains emotion , humor, diverting incidents , very brief drama , entertainment and bemusement . The series moves in fits and starts most of which would be desirable , with more traps the viewer resists any kind , and some moments of enjoyment and others quite a few embarrassing . The flick relies heavily on the main starring and her continued relationship with husband , employees and children ; but it doesn't make boring but entertaining . As the plot develops the peculiar character of Patricia , a forty year CEO surrounded by several men and women at the office and running efficiently the investment bank . Main and support cast give adequate performances . Stars Miren Ibarguren as a top executive who actually manages to keep all the balls in the air and even add at least one every once in a while , Diego Martin as her beloved hubby , Barbara Goenaga as her lesbian sister, Marta Fernandez Muro as grandmother and Gracia Olayo as the resourceful secretary called Marisol.

Acceptable and passable.

I loved this series. It's fun, modern, and lighthearted. The performances are all well done, and the script is funny. I especially like the actresses that play Marisol and Lali, they are both hilarious, but the entire cast is very talented. Lovely cinematography and views of Madrid as well. Is it a bit unrealistic? Sure, but within the jokes it treats a lot of real issues people, especially women, deal with when balancing career and family.

So overall, it is not Shakespeare but it's a really fun series to watch, and the episodes are short, so it goes by very quickly.

I hope they make a third season!
