It's for Your Own Good

Arturo, Chus, and Hipólito ("Poli") are brothers-in-law who co-exist peacefully. Suddenly, Arturo and Isabel's daughter Valentina decides at the last minute not to marry Agustín, leaving him at the altar for Álex, a young perroflauta (Spanish for dreadlock) and anarchist whose free ideals clash fiercely with the conservative Arturo; Chus and his wife Olga discover that their daughter Marta is dating troubled, drug-dabbling ni-ni (Spanish short for "ni oficio ni beneficio", equivalent to "without a penny to one's name") Dani; and Poli's daughter Sarai is dating Ernesto, a playboy who works as an artistic photographer and is actually Poli's former classmate--and Poli's wife Alicia knew about it and was hiding it from him. Believing that Álex, Dani and Ernesto aren't good for their lovely, perfect daughters, Arturo, Chus and Poli plot the way to stop all three relationships, not knowing the consequences that their acts will have for the family.

After graduating from college, Andy lands the dream job that "a million girls would kill for": assistant to Miranda - the chief editor of Runway, the top-selling fashion magazine in the industry. It is a job set to fast track her career in journalism if she can survive a year working for Miranda. From here, Andy, with no sense of fashion at all, begins a fish-out-of-water drama as she is thrown into a lifestyle full of the fast-paced, three-inch-minimum heel height, diet Coke and coffee substance abuse. Andy works really hard to deal with Miranda's endless unimaginable demands. She even becomes trendy and classy. However, she gradually finds she is working 24/7, and soon her life with boyfriend, Nate, and best friend, Lily, is slipping away from her. Then, she realizes that she is losing what really matters. She does not want to lose herself no matter how many pairs of Monolos and Jimmy Choos she can score along the way.
