New Series Alert: Who Is Who As TLNovelas Africa Welcomes Another Adaptation To The Chilean Classic Amores De Mercado Titled No One Like You

Amores De Mercado (Market Lovers) follows the life of identical twins Pedro Solís García and Rodolfo Ruttenmeyer Echeverria both portrayed by Álvaro Rudolphy where an encounter leads them to trade places and assume each other's identity and lifestyle.

The Chilean drama made its debut in August 2001 starring Álvaro Rudolphy, Ángela Contreras, Luciano Cruz-Coke, and Alejandra Fosalba. Since its debut, managed to gain so much popularity that 6 adaptations had been produced so far.

 

Out of all those adaptations 2 were manufactured by Telemundo, Amor Descarado (Barefaced Love, 2004) and Quién Es Quién (Who Is Who, 2015) which managed to air in Africa under the name If Only I Were You.

After 7 years (5 in Mexico), Amores De Mercado makes a comeback in Africa through the Mexican brand TelevisaUnivision's TLNovelas with the series Como Tú No Hay 2 (No One Like You) starring Adrián Uribe as the lead with Claudia Martin and Azela Robinson.

 

Remakes can be annoying and feel a bit repetitive at times and the handful that would probably watch No One Like You have a high tolerance level for such content or haven't viewed the version on Telemundo.

Despite my opinion on the show I'd say watch it don't rely on what other people's preferences who knows probably TLNovelas version is far superior to Telemundo's version and although being remake it's not like they'll do word for word.

Recommended Games #1: Explore The Whimsical World Of McDonald

Few months ago, we introduced Insidus Games and since then has gained traction in parts of Europe for its dedication to character based content with most traction coming from CN Games with Johnny Bravo: Big Babe's Adventure being the most popular amongst games.

To celebrate the launch of our 200th game, we thought of relaunching a segment based on Insidus Games where we recommend certain games to consumers with our first being McDonald: Treasure Land Adventure.

 

One day, Ronald McDonald was walking in the Magical Forest and found a small piece of paper under a big tree. Ronald discovers that it is part of a treasure map. While Ronald wonders where the other four pieces are, it turns out that three others have the piece of the map. Ronald then begins his treasure hunt with his part of the map. Ronald then ends up in a cave and battles an anthropomorphic tomato that has the second piece of the map.

After claiming the second piece of the map, Ronald boards a circus train bound for Magical Town. Arriving in Magical Town, Ronald McDonald scales a construction site and battles a goblin-like creature flying a monster-like robot. Upon defeating it, Ronald gives the goblin-like creature three jewels in exchange for the third part of the map.

Ronald then flies a balloon out to the Magical Sea to find the fourth part of the map on a specific island. After an encounter with a pirate with lips for a head, Ronald then finds himself on a sunken pirate ship. Ronald then battles the pirate and defeats him. Upon claiming the final part of the map, Ronald, Birdie, and Grimace discover the map showing that the treasure is on Magical Moon.

 

With help from the Professor, Ronald, Birdie, Grimace, Hamburglar, and the Fry Kids ride a rocket ship to Magical Moon. When the rocket ship crash lands, the group splits up to find someplace to fix their rocket ship. While looking for someplace to fix his rocket ship, Ronald is then taken on an alien spaceship. After beating the alien in charge of the spaceship, Ronald explains that they are not after the treasure but somewhere to fix their rocket ship. The alien opens up the treasure chest which enables Ronald and his friends to return to McDonaldland by a rainbow going from Magical Moon to McDonaldland.

The game offers some colourful and vibrant graphics.

Cartoon Network's Redraw Your World Rolls Out Internationally With Africa Likely To Get It Before The End Of 2022

In an attempt to streamline their offering, Warner Bros. Discovery launched a campaign on Cartoon Network known as Redraw Your World which would see the male centred children's channel expand their lineup to include content for girls, preschoolers and families.

As seen overseas, the schedule is divided based on demographic and each has a given name.

Cartoonito (currently seen on Boomerang and soon Cartoon Network) is the name of their preschool offering while ACME deals with the family oriented section with females likely to clash with the male offering which the brand has been accustomed to for nearly a decade.

 

Redraw Your World has been active overseas since February 2021 and after almost a year more markets such as the UK (upcoming), Japan, Australia, Asia, Korea, Taiwan and several others unveiled plans for this concept.

In Africa, Warner Bros. Discovery was only able to confirm close to Cartoonito's launch overseas without giving it much credit. They even picked up a female led series but not much has been stated since then I only got a couple of theories partially on Cartoon Network.

 

Firstly, CN Movies the slot had an on/off relationship on the channel and although repetitive seems to be a permanent slot perhaps having something to do with Redraw Your World's ACME Nights which houses mainly films than series.

Secondly, Cartoonito hasn't been made available to Cartoon Network as seen in the UK and other parts of Europe. Considering how weak the airtime is on Boomerang I wouldn't be stunned if the brand would get the same treatment on Cartoon Network considering how a portion of Boomerang is preschool.

Lastly, a launch date although not much has been shared in that regard my hunch would be the fall of 2022. I mean every year Cartoon Network has always gotten a new graphics amidst that period and with this concept being a major boost for the brand I don't mind waiting till then to see it.
