What happens

The Swindler (Spanish: El Encantador), is a Colombian telenovela created by Caracol Televisión, from a screenplay by César Betancur, and directed by Víctor Mallarino. The series revolves around Rolando Castaño (Diego Cadavid), a man who, after finishing high school, decides to begin "negotiating" in a clandestine way to create his own company. In addition to his good physique and his way of speaking, he manages to conquer all the women in his neighborhood, which brings him many problems. The telenovela premiered on 4 February 2010, but due to its poor reception and poor premiere rating, the network decided to take it off the air three days after its premiere. It is considered some more unsuccessful telenovela in Colombian television history. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
