Más Sabe el Diablo (Literally "The Devil Knows More", "Falling Angel" in English-speaking markets) is a successful Spanish-language telenovela produced by the United States-based television network Telemundo. This melodrama features lovers embroiled in intrigue, betrayal, vengeance and unbridled passion. It stars Gaby Espino, Jencarlos Canela and Miguel Varoni. Telemundo says that about 1 million people tuned in each weeknight. Production Set in New York (yet mostly filmed in Miami), the serial features the street-wise Ángel, who treats life as a game he plays to win. He tangles with the power-hungry Martín, who is engaged to a stunning, feisty lawyer named Manuela. She decides to defend Ángel, even though Martín wants to destroy him. Neither of the men know that Ángel is Martín's own son. Our hero learns that love is the only key to survival. Telemundo originally aired the serial Mondays through Fridays from 25 May 2009 premiere to 12 February 2010 finale. As with most of its other soap operas, the network broadcast the English subtitles as closed captions on CC3. The original working title for the show was ¿Por qué diablos? (literally "Why Devils?", although it can also mean Why the hell?), which is the name of an earlier 1999 Colombian telenovela on which it was based. A compressed version entitled "Más Sabe el Diablo the Remix" was to air with English language subtitles on the cable network mun2. Telemundo added a subplot at the request of the U.S. Government. Perla Beltrán, a character who got a job for the U.S. Census, is used to promote the census to Hispanic Americans, who were (as of 2009) wary of the U.S. Census. The U.S. Census Bureau met with the producers of the series. Don Browne, the president of the television network, said that it maintained "total creative independence" during the process. Title The title of the show is a shortened form of a classic Spanish idiom or refrán: "Más sabe el diablo por viejo que por diablo." The approximate equivalent translation in English would be: "The devil knows more because he is old than because he is the devil." This refrain is meant to underscore the significance of wisdom derived from age and life experience. Plot The show starts by telling the story of Esperanza Salvador, working as the maid in the Acero household in Mexico. A young Martín has a secret sexual encounter with Esperanza, whom he ends
