You really can’t begin to appreciate that beauty and charm of Jencarlos Canela until you’ve been inches away from him. I had the pleasure to do just that during the Telemundo VIP Premiere Of Mi Corazon Insiste held at W South Beach on Thursday, May 12th, 2011 in Miami Beach, Florida.

The Telemundo team set up a special screening area in one of the hotels banquet rooms with intimate seating for invited guests to preview scenes of the sexy new soap opera. I want you guys to know, this is NOT your abuelas novela! The storylines are steamy and provocative while still finding ways to be funny and heartfelt.

As soon as the teaser video was over, we were greeted on stage by Aurelio Valcárcel the Executive Vice President of Telemundo Studios Miami who introduced the writers and directors who all had a hand in bringing Mi Corazon Insiste to fruition.

The entire cast was introduced by Telemundo President Don Browne and they included legendary actress Angélica María, Colombian hunk Mauricio Hénao, Ana Layevska, Cynthia Olavarria, Paloma Marquez, Roberto Huicochea, , Gerardo Murguia and the luckiest girl in the world, Carmen Villalobos who plays Jencarlos’s love interest Lola Volcán. Wait until you see the love scenes!

But what came next was the best part of the night (apart from hugging Jencarlos of course!). Canela took to the stage and performed the novelas theme song, “Mi Corazon Insiste” and “Tu Cuerpo” which brought out a bevy of beautiful dancers to back him up.

The previews were amazing and I can’t wait for you guys to see the final product when “Mi Corazon Insiste” hits television on Monday, May 23rd, 2011 on Telemundo.
