Some viewers have noticed that Telemundo changed the names various of shows being allocated on the channel. Aside from the latter two there's also The Woman In Charge, The Way To Paradise and All Roads Lead To Love.
The Woman In Charge which will be concluding soon is known as La Jefa which translates to The Boss. Because Telemundo already reserved The Boss for La Patrona, they resorted to an alternative title with the same meaning.
For The Way To Paradise, it's whole premise even the title Sin Seños Si Hay Paraíso deals with breasts and some countries are sensitive about this. It's been long been speculated that Telemundo never made this show available in Africa due to this ordeal.
Another show which also got a name change For Love And Justice is known as Los Miserables which translates to The Miserable Ones. The series revolves on Lucia clearing her name (Justice) and finding romance "Love".
The Miserable Ones doesn't really sit well with a show containing such a plot. Another instance is All Roads Lead To Love (Eva La Trailera/Eva The Trucker) as they wanted it to appeal to a wider audience as opposed to feeling niche or industrial.
A Passion For Revenge (Tierra De Reyes/Land Of Kings) is a remake to Hidden Passions (Pasión de Gavilanes) and similar to All Roads Lead To Love the title was touching on the plot. Brothers avenge the death of sister (Revenge) and fall in love (Passion).
Another reason with A Passion For Revenge being a remake, Telemundo probably wanted it to stand on its own feet from past iterations.
In short, there's several reasons Telemundo gave these shows their respective names some like The Way To Paradise proved to be controversial. Then there's others like All Roads Lead To Love where they wanted to make it appealing to viewers.
