History Series / ElCorazonNuncaSeEquivoca

* NotWhatItLooksLike: Ubaldo and Soledad arrive to the apartment only to find Diego, Temo, Ari and Thiago semi-naked (Carlota is the only one fully dressed). They immediately assume there was some kind of orgy going on. They boys then have to explain that the water ran out while Ari was in the shower and Temo was shaving, while Diego was simply about to get dressed. Thiago, on the other hand, just thought it was some sort of foam party.

* WelcomeToTheBigCity: Ari’s first day on Mexico City ends with him getting mugged. Most viewers agree that, given he was walking alone at night with his phone on his hand, he had it coming. Notably, Ari is not exactly a CountryMouse (he lived in Oaxaca de Juárez, a state capital) but the scene is used to drive in the fact that Mexico City is a much bigger and dangerous place.

''Juntos el corazón nunca se equivoca'' (in English, "The Heart Is Never Wrong"), better known as ''El corazón nunca se equivoca'', is 2019 Mexican telenovela produced by Juan Osorio for Televisa as a spin-off of ''Mi marido tiene más familia''. It premiered on June 23, 2019 and is the first telenovela to focus on a same-sex couple.

Ari and Temo (also known as Aristemo) leave Oaxaca and move to Mexico City to follow their dreams. However, they encounter many challenges in the form of prejudice,among other things.

* OfficialCoupleOrdealSyndrome: This is a telenovela. What did you expect? The question here in regards to Aristemo isn’t WillTheyOrWontThey, but rather ''if it will last''.

* IronicName: Aristóteles, named after famous philosopher Aristotle, is pursuing a musical career.Episode 13 implies that Arquímedes has a knack for painting and drawing, unlike his namesake.

* DevotedToYou: Ari and Temo only have eyes for each other.

* CoolUncle: Invoked by Diego, who reasons that if they’re all taking care of Arqui and are also a FamilyofChoice, then he gets to be this.

* EntitledBastard: Mateo sees Temo as this, due to Ubaldo’s BlatantFavoritism. Temo got the job immediately because Ubaldo said so, nevermind that he has no experience. Mateo on the other hand, while the same age as Temo, has been working there for longer and his pragmatism contrasts with Temo’s compassion and idealism. Mateo’s got a point in that they way Temo got the position is unfair, but Temo isn’t all that comfortable with Ubaldo’s favor either.

* LoveTheme: Romantic scenes between Ari and Temo will have either ''Amor Valiente'' (Brave Love) or ''Si Me Dices Que Me Quieres'' (If You Say That You Love Me), performed by Emilio Osorio and Joaquín Bondoni respectively, playing in the background.

* MissingMom: Olegario mentions that he never met his mother and that his father never talked about her. Temo brings up the fact that he has lost two mothers so far; his biological one died in childbirth and his first step-mother passed away at some point in his childhood.

* IntercourseWithYou: The show’s main theme “Es Por Ti” includes the following lyrics:\\
[-Look at our bodies, polar opposites\\

Let's live the night together, together-]

* MeetCute: Implied. When asked by Nora how they first met, Ari and Temo just mumble something about it being a bit “strange” and involving a cake. Nora simply says that it must have been very special for them. Doubles as a ContinuityNod for those who watched '''Mi marido tiene familia'' and as a NoodleIncident.

* FamilyThemeNaming: Ari and his little brother Arqui, are named after Greek historical figures that both start with an A.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: After an awful day at work in which Temo got relentlessly insulted and mocked, Mateo crashes Diego’s party to insult him some more. Ari pretty much tells him to piss off, to which Mateo says he only wanted to see where “princess Cuahtémoc” lived.

[[caption-width-right:258:Doesn't matter who you are if love motivates you.]]

* BigYes: Thiago arrives at the apartment only to find everyone but Carlota basically naked. As well as Ari and Temo covered in soap and shaving foam. He arrives at the conclusion that there’s a foam party going and instantly takes off his shirt, to Diego’s pleasure.

* DistractedfromDeath: Realizing she was leaving behind some food for their day out, [[spoiler:Polita says to her family that she’ll be right back. Minutes later, Temo remarks to Ari that she’s taking long; Ari agrees and goes to look for her. He finds her unconscious body lying on the floor, probably already dead.]]

* DoItYourselfThemeTune: Emilio Osorio and Joaquín Bondoni sing the show’s main theme "Es Por Ti".

[[caption-width-right:258:[[Tagline Doesn't matter who you are if love motivates you.]]]]

* InSeriesNickname: Aritóteles and Temo get Ari (or Aris) and Temo as shortened versions of their names, aside from all the AffectionateNickname s they use for each other. Ari’s mother, Amapola, is called Polita by her friends and family. Arquímedes gets Arqui.

* ReadyForLovemaking: In Episode 11, Temo tells Ari not to worry and to let him make sure the night will be truly special. Later, Ari walks into their room only to find hundreds lights strung together and Temo declaring his love for him. We then see a montage of them having fun, SexyDiscretionShot s included.

'''Temo:''' And there’s no doubt you’ve got a complex, Mateo. It’s clear you’re very insecure and that’s why you need to humiliate others to feel better; but you can insult me all you want and no one’s gonna take you seriously for it. I know who I am and I’m not ashamed of it, it seems you’re jealous of me for it.-]

* BigYes: Thiago arrives at the apartment only to find everyone but Carlota basically naked. As well as Ari and Temo covered in soap and shaving foam. He arrives at the conclusion that there’s a foam party going and instantly takes off his shirt, to Diego’s pleasure.\\
[-'''Thiago:''' Can I take off my shirt?\\

'''Diego:''' Hell yes!-]

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: After an awful day at work in which Temo got relentlessly insulted and mocked, Mateo crashes Diego’s party to insult him some more. Ari pretty much tells him to piss off, to which Mateo says he only wanted to see where “princess Cuahtémoc” lived.\\
[-'''Mateo:'''Did he tell you how he started to cry during the test? It’s a good thing he’s got you to show him what a real man is. You should tell him to learn how to defend himself, see if he stops being such a crybaby.\\

** Aristemo also get their PortmanteauCoupleName used as a nickname by other characters:

* SuperCouple: Aristemo. It helps that it is the OfficialCouple, as well as being the first LGBT pair to act as protagonists in a telenovela.

* Surprise Party: Episode 6 has one of these for Temo at the drop of midnight on his birthday. Polita, Eduardo, Arqui and Diego put the finishing touches on the preparations, then Ari calls out to Temo (who of course rushes out of the bedroom) and they scream “Surprise!” at him.

* Surprisingly Sudden Death: What seems like a perfectly happy evening comes to an end after [[spoiler:Polita has a stroke and dies.]]

* StrawFan: Thiago’s groupies. Viewers were quick to notice the similarities and take it as good-spirited fun, so it falls more on the side of AffectionateParody. A smaller but similar example, Ari’s new fans that recognize him while he’s shopping for groceries.

* NeverLiveItDown: It may have not been mentioned in-universe again, but fans have not forgotten Ari’s initial rejection of Temo, to the point the actual line has been juxtaposed to a shot of them sleeping shirtless together.

* AerithandBob: You have Elsa, Mateo, Nora, Dora, Ubaldo, Carlota, Diego, Soledad and Eduardo. There’s also Cuauhtémoc, which while a little weird, isn’t all that out of place in Mexico; Olegario, Amapola, Arquímedes and Aristóteles. It’s no wonder Temo and Ari usually go by their nicknames.

* EntitledBastard: Mateo sees Temo as this, due to Ubaldo’s BlatantFavoritism. Temo got the job immediately because Ubaldo said so, nevermind that he has no experience. Mateo on the other hand, while the same age as Temo, has been working there for longer and his pragmatism contrasts with Temo’s compassion and idealism. Mateo’s got a point in that they way Temo got the position is unfair, but Temo isn’t all that comfortable with Ubaldo’s favor either.

* EvilPlan: Ubaldo wants to be the new governor so he can enjoy all the power and privileges. He also entrusts Mateo to drive Temo and Ari apart, so that Temo will get back together with Diego and the Ortegas will seem like the perfect family. He also has no qualms about killing anyone who might get in his way.

* EyeTake: Ari and Temo’s reactions to [[spoiler:Diego dyeing his hair blond]] are hilarious to watch, particularly because they can’t even find the words for it.

* FacePalm: Ari does this upon witnessing his mother’s introduction in college. He’s actually rather glad she’s there, since she married young and never before had the chance of attending university. Nevermind that she’s in the same field as him.

* FamilyofChoice: Invoked by Carlota on the first episode after it turns out that she, Temo, Ari and Diego will be living together. She wants all four of them to get along because she hopes they might grow to see each other as family.

* FamilyThemeNaming: Ari and his little brother Arqui, are named after Greek historical figures that both start with an A.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Ubaldo seems like a compassionate, kind, thoughtful and understanding man who genuinely cares about other people. In reality, he’s an abusive and manipulative bastard whose only concern is rising to power, he pretends to be noble in order to gain the trust (and votes) of others.

* FirstLove: Ari and Temo are each other’s first love, rather sweetly. Temo is also Diego’s first love (unrequited, obviously, since Diego is Temo’s UnluckyChildhoodFriend).

* FistofRage: Ari, when Mateo drops unininvited to the party and begins insulting Temo.

* FisticuffProvokingComment: Interestingly, Temo suggesting Mateo is jealous of him causes Mateo to shove him, but it’s Ari who ends up fighting Mateo on Temo’s behalf.

* FlowersofRomance: Ari gives Temo a sunflower on his birthday.

* ForbiddenLove: Nora mentions that her relationship with B was this, though she doesn’t elaborate any further.

* ForeShadowing: Ari complains to Eduardo that he feels Polita is being overprotective. Eduardo answers that he should be thankful his mom loves and supports him, because she won’t always be there. [[spoiler:Polita dies some episodes later.]]

* FriendlyRivalry: Ari and Diego’s relationship is shaping up to be this and VitriolicBestBuds. Ari is Temo’s boyfriend and together they form the OfficialCouple. Diego is Temo’s best friend, ex-boyfriend and is still in love with him. While Diego completely supports and respects Aristemo, he’ll still get way too close to Temo or mock Ari just because the latter’s reactions to it are incredibly amusing. Currently, they’re on good terms but aren’t above being purposefully annoying to each other.

* FrivolousLawsuit: Mateo attempts to sue Ari over a busted lip, courtesy of the latter. It doesn’t go anywhere, since Mateo punched Ari first and thus anything Ari did was on self-defense. Mateo doesn’t actually want monetary compensation (he doesn’t need it), he only does it out of dislike over Temo, and by extension, Ari.

* GilliganCut: Olegario offers to give Elsa a ride on his motorbike. She vehemently refuses, only for the next scene to show she ended up agreeing to it anyways.

* GoodAdulteryBadAdultery: Ubaldo cheats on Soledad with Carlota. Soledad doesn’t know this (just suspects it), but she is encouraged by Nora to continue seeing Professor Collins. Ubaldo’s cheating is portrayed as bad because a) he is an abusive bastard and b) he is cheating on his wife with a girl his son’s age. Soledad’s possible adultery is seen as the good kind because she is still loyal to Ubaldo (she insists to Nora and Collings that she is still a married woman) and supports him, even though he doesn’t love her and, again, is an abusive bastard.

* GoodParents: Polita Castañeda. Polita is a well-meaning woman who supports her older son, Ari, no matter what and is happy to provide advice if needed. In the original series, she divorced her husband after Ari came out and fought tooth and nail to provide for her family, as well as to keep custody of little Arquimedes. Currently, she still takes care of Arquimedes and supported Ari’s decision to go live with Temo (even if she did move to live close to them). She’s also the first one to find out about Diego taking antidepressants and the first thing she does (after making sure it’s not the dangerous kind of drugs) is tell him she will be there for him if he ever needs her.

* GrandRomanticGesture: Ari and Temo are incredibly prone to doing this, something that Mateo lampshades in Episode 7. On this series alone, examples include: Ari chasing after Temo when he leaves in the middle of class, Ari fighting Mateo on behalf of Temo and Ari preparing about three different surprises for Temo’s birthday, starting at midnight. Unfortunately, Ubaldo ruins Ari’s last surprise by insisting Temo work late on that particular day. Episode 11 has Temo stringing lights together and hanging them in their room, as to give Ari a surprise and make the night really special.

* GroupHug: The Chosen Family tend to this after difficult times. Episode 7 has another one, after Temo´s serenade to Ari. A sadder example is found in Episode 12, after [[spoiler:the cast finds out about Polita’s death, everyone gathers to hug Ari and show their support.]]

* HappyMarriageCharade: Ubaldo is adamant that his family must be seen as perfect, so he and Soledad have this kind of marriage.

* HeadbuttofLove: Frequently seen between Ari and Temo.

* HiddenHeartOfGold: Elsa appears to be cold, mean and to completely hate Temo. It turns she’s actually pretty reasonable, fair and is simply a very strict teacher. She doesn’t personally hate Temo or want him to fail; she’s just upset her boss hired him without consulting her (or anyone, for that matter). Also, she’s been grieving for her son’s death for the past years.

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Carlota insists that becoming Ubaldo’s mistress was the only way to get information on her brother’s death.

* IMissMom: [[spoiler:Arqui acting out and behaving in a rude way is because he misses Polita. Ari responds that he misses her too.]]

* IShallTauntYou: Mateo goes for this when he crashes the party in Episode 4, what he actually wanted to accomplish is anyone’s guess. He just doesn’t expect Temo to deliver a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech or Ari to actually punch him.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Diego’s still existing feelings for Temo means he is currently stuck in this.

* Insecure Love Interest: Ari is afraid that he will become a failed musician and Temo will realize this. Temo reassures him that, no matter what, they’ll wait for each other and support each other. Following [[spoiler:Polita’s death]], Temo is worried that his love might not be enough to support and help Ari with what he’s going through.

* InSeriesNickname: Aritóteles and Temo get Ari (or Aris) and Temo as shortened versions of their names, aside from all the AffectionateNicknames they use for each other. Ari’s mother, Amapola, is called Polita by her friends and family. Arquímedes gets Arqui.
** Diego uses Lota for Carlota.
** Aristemo also get their PortmanteauCoupleName used as a nickname by other characters:

* InternalReveal: Ubaldo realizes Carlota doesn’t actually love him and is only using him to find out what really happened to her brother.

* InterwinedFingers: Ari and Temo do this on occasion. They’re our OfficialCouple.

* IronicName: Aristóteles, named after famous philosopher Aristotle, is pursuing a musical career.Episode 13 implies that Arquímedes has a knack for painting and drawing, unlike his namesake.

* LastKiss: [[spoiler:Eduardo delivers a brief one on Polita, after she dies. They’d just gotten engaged.]]

* LifeWillKillYou: [[spoiler:While the Córcegas (plus Temo) are preparing to spend the day at Chapultepec, Polita goes back inside after remembering she left something behind. She walks into the kitchen and promptly passes out. Her son, Ari, finds her and later on, a doctor informs the family that her death was caused by a stroke.]]

* LikeaSontoMe: Ubaldo very clearly views Temo as this, just because his actual son, Diego, refused to go into politics and Temo did. Ubaldo evens goes as far as to outright ignore Diego calling out for him and instead congratulating Temo, with the latter carefully pointing out that Diego is right there.

* LimitedSocialCircle: Pretty much all the named characters know each other and have some sort of relationship through coincidence.
** Diego and Temo are childhood friends (and also exes), Ari already knew Diego through Temo, Carlota knew Diego because her mom works for his dad and the four of them live together. Not to mention their landladies are Diego’s aunts.Elsa (Carlota’s mom) hangs out with Soledad (Diego’s mom), Nora and Dora (Diego’s aunts) and Polita (Ari’s mom).
** Ubaldo is Carlota, Mateo and Temo’s boss, not to mention Diego’s dad. Mateo is also on the same career path as Temo, so they see each other with more frequency than they’d like.
** Thiago seems to be the exception, but he coincidentially meets Ari while the latter is at work, and then later turns out to have been hired by Ubaldo, and so he meets Carlota.

*

* AffectionateNickname: While there’s the usual shortening of their names, Ari (or Aris) for Aristóteles and Temo for Cuauhtémoc; the two of them also have pet names for each other, such as ''amor/mi amor'' (Spanish for “love/my love”) when they’re being more serious and “Temocles” and “Aristocles” when they’re being more playful. There’s also the special pet name Temo came up with when they were still in high school, ''tahi'', an acronym for the phrase ''"te amo hasta el infinito”'' (I love you to infinity) and that they seem to use pretty much all the time. Special mention goes to their actual shipname, Aristemo, being used as a sort of nickname by others in and out of universe.

** Dora is a bitter old woman with controlling tendencies, her brother Ubaldo is a ManipulativeBastard and Nora is an insecure woman with ExtremeDoormat tendencies.

* CantTakeCriticism: Mateo doesn’t take it well when Temo responds to his mocking with TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. A fight ensues shortly after.

AbusiveParents: As far as the public is concerned, the Ortegas are the perfect family. Behind closed doors, however, Ubaldo has no qualms on belittling Diego and showing blatant favoritism toward his son’s best friends, simply because said friend decided to go into politics and Diego didn’t. He goes as far as to declaring that the only reason he cares about Diego’s depression is because it might affect his reputation.
* On Episode 7, Ari opens up to Diego about everything his own father put him through: belittling him, insulting him, humiliating him in front of the whole family, controlling his mother, kicking him out of the house, hitting him… The list goes on.

AerithandBob: You have Elsa, Mateo, Nora, Dora, Ubaldo, Carlota, Diego, Soledad and Eduardo. There’s also Cuauhtémoc, which while a little weird, isn’t all that out of place in Mexico; Olegario, Amapola, Arquímedes and Aristóteles. It’s no wonder Temo and Ari usually go by their nicknames.
* Ari first gets asked by Thiago if that’s his actual name or if he’s joking.

AffectionateNickname: While there’s the usual shortening of their names, Ari (or Aris) for Aristóteles and Temo for Cuauhtémoc; the two of them also have pet names for each other, such as ''amor/mi amor'' (Spanish for “love/my love”) when they’re being more serious and “Temocles” and “Aristocles” when they’re being more playful. There’s also the special pet name Temo came up with when they were still in high school, ''tahi'', an acronym for the phrase ''"te amo hasta el infinito”'' (I love you to infinity) and that they seem to use pretty much all the time. Special mention goes to their actual shipname, Aristemo, being used as a sort of nickname by others in and out of universe.
* Temo’s father, Pancho, is often referred to as Papancho, a play on his name and the Spanish word for “dad”, ''papá.''

AfterActionPatchUp: Played straight. Temo cleans and treats Ari’s injuries after the latter’s fight with Mateo. Ari even cracks a joke, saying they won’t be able to kiss for a while because of his split lip.

AlliterativeFamily: The Córcega Castañeda family: Amapola, Aristóteles and Arquímides. Ari’s father, Audifaz, also fits.

AllGaysArePromiscuous: Deconstructed. Temo and Ari ''do'' have sex, however, it is treated as it would with a straight couple in a similar setting (unless it's part of a GrandRomanticGesture). Diego, on the other hand, seems to have a different date every other episode, although this is done to show how lonely he really is and he doesn’t actually have sex with any of the guys he picks up (he mentions that Ari and Temo are ahead of everyone else in that field).

AmicableExes: Diego and Temo are this, thanks to their friendship existing for a long time prior to their short time as a couple. Unfortunately, Diego is still in love with Temo.

AscendedExtra: Ari and Temo went from being secondary characters to having their own series focusing on them. Likewise, Diego goes from being simply Temo’s friend and ex-boyfriend to being one of the main characters and having his own storyline here.

BerserkButton: Mateo didn’t like it when Temo suggested that perhaps he was actually jealous of Temo.
* Never pick on Temo in front of Ari.
** Or in front of Diego, for that matter.

BestFriend: Diego and Temo have been best friends their whole lives.

BetterAsFriends: Diego and Temo, thanks to Ari and Temo being the OfficialCouple.

BigFancyHouse: The Ortega Household is one of these, as some of the aerial shots can prove.

CampGay: Although not in its full glory, Diego leans toward this. Ari and Temo stand on a more balanced place between camp and straight.

CantTakeCriticism: Mateo doesn’t take it well when Temo responds to his mocking with TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. A fight ensues shortly after.

Aerith And Bob: You have Elsa, Mateo, Nora, Dora, Ubaldo, Carlota, Diego, Soledad and Eduardo. There’s also Cuauhtémoc, which while a little weird, isn’t all that out of place in Mexico; Olegario, Amapola, Arquímedes and Aristóteles. It’s no wonder Temo and Aris usually go by their nicknames. Aris first gets asked by Thiago if that’s his actual name or if he’s joking. Funnily enough, Temo asked Aris the same thing back when they met.

“Do It Yourself” Theme Tune: Emilio Osorio and Joaquín Bondoni, Ari and Temo’s actors respectively, sing the show’s main theme “Es Por Ti”.
