Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Literally: María from the Ghetto/Neighborhood, English title: Humble Maria (1995-1996). A popular Mexican telenovela starring singer Thalia, which skyrocketed her to international fame, as well as Fernando Colunga and Itatí Cantoral to a lesser extent. It is a remake of the popular 1979 telenovela Los ricos también lloran (The Rich Also Cry).María is a 15-year-old orphan girl who loses her godmother, but before she passes, she asks the local priest not to leave María to fend for herself. The priest begs his wealthy benefactor, Don Fernando, to let María live in his home as a servant, but the man instead brings María in as his ward, drawing the ire of his wife Victoria and her niece, Soraya. María falls in love with the Don's Troubled, but Cute son, Luis Fernando, but also has to fight for his affections with the treacherous Soraya and her accomplices.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })If you want to think about a Trope Codifier of the modern audience's view of a Spanish telenovela, look no further. The show contained several catfights, staged pregnancies, faked deaths, and heaps of drama. María la del barrio also had a recent resurgence in popularity among Spanish speakers because of the ridiculous antics of the main villain Soraya, as well as a remake for Filipino audiences in 2011.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Unmarked spoilers per the identity of the last Big Bad, as it becomes crucial to the plot of almost a third part of the whole series | |

Tempting Fate | |
| María la del barrio / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: Happens plenty of times in the series, but a notable example is in the first few weeks of the show. Soraya, filled with rage at finding out who her real family is, goes to Osvaldo's apartment to kill him. As she's pointing the gun at Osvaldo, she goes on a rant about her origins, screaming how she has nothing to lose anymore. As Osvaldo is wrestling for the gun, Soraya shouts "I've just discovered the truth about my heritage (mi origen), and I don't care about jail or death! Nothing! Nothing!" They're struggling for the gun (standing up). Osvaldo is able to wrestle the gun away from Soraya, but because she's standing up, she stumbles across the room, and crashes into his glass window, sending her crashing down onto the pavement and her first death. | |

Genre Savvy: Soraya left her wallet at María's room and, aided with the fake testimony of Carlota, accused María of stealing it. And yes, the wallet is in María's room, and she has no defense against the accusations... but did not need them. Nobody believed that, and everybody realized that everything had been set up by Soraya and Carlota. | |

Mr. Fanservice: Luis Fernando, who had no less than three romantic interests in the series and was often shown in either shirtless or swimsuit scenes, at least in the first half of the show. The actor, Fernando Colunga, is often seen in Spanish gossip magazines and is still playing lead roles in telenovelas 20 years later. | |

Break the Haughty | |
| María la del barrio / int_2af6bbeb | comment |
Break the Haughty: Wondering about María's constant activities in the street and her sudden and unexplained happiness, Tita discovered the phone of "Fernando Pérez" (Nandito) in her locker, and heard her talking nice with him. She was sure that María was cheating on Luis Fernando with her, and became a complete jerkass. And one day, she took things too far, so that María told her the truth. The COMPLETE truth. That Luis Fernando left her during pregnancy, that his request for divorce drove her nuts, that she had her son then, that she gave him away to another woman during her madness, that she was placed into a bedlam house, that she spent more than 15 years searching for that woman, that she finally found her, and that Nandito is her son. Tita started to cry, asking María to forgive her. | |

Attack Backfire | |
| María la del barrio / int_3069d72a | comment |
Attack Backfire: Luis Fernando attacked Rosales, the owner of the gambling nightclub, blaming him for the hearth attack of his father, when he tried to get payment from him. Rosales gave him a warning shot, stopped him with his thugs, and took him to the police, to denounce the attack. Luis Fernando was detained, but Rosales was not allowed to leave, not until the Paraffin test checked if he had made a gunshot during the fight, as Luis Fernando claimed. It gave a positive result, and it was also uncovered that Rosales was heading an illegal gambling nightclub. Rosales was detained, and Luis Fernando was allowed to leave, as all evidence suggested that he attacked Rosales on self-defense. | |

Just Eat Gilligan | |
| María la del barrio / int_35543514 | comment |
Just Eat Gilligan María gave his son to a random woman in the park, while being a bit crazy for Luis Fernando's request for divorce, and then tried to locate again that woman or her son. She has been doing that for MORE THAN 14 YEARS, including 2 timeskips. She never thought about hiring some private detectives, who may be better seekers than her... The second arc with Soraya could probably have been stopped on its tracks, if they denounced her for her murder attempt at the end of the first arc. They police takes her prisoner, end of story. Though she later points out that they have as much to lose as she does, since they haven't denounced her, and the whole story would seem way too suspicious and convenient to begin with, and she could easily have accused the De La Vega family of being accomplices in her scheme. | |

Motive Decay | |
| María la del barrio / int_52c0c7cf | comment |
Motive Decay: When the series began, Victoria and Carlota were apparently evil jerks that hated María and plotted to get rid of her. Victoria warmed on María when she helped her husband Fernando with so much care when he was ill, and turned into her friend and trusted confidant. Carlota was slowly flanderized into a mere gossip woman, hearing from behind the doors just for the sake of it, but without revealing the secrets that would make harm (such as Tita's true origin). She even used her gossip to help María at times. Though it might make sense for Victoria, whose schemes never went too far and whose main concern was always her family. When Maria was proved to be neither her husband's mistress/secret-daughter nor a danger for her sons, she softened up. Beforehand, she always at least tried to be polite and quickly conceded that Maria wasn't resonsible of her bad education. As for Carlota, she never truly chose a side, eavesdropping on everyone and endangering everybody's plans, so she might simply have slowly evolved from Chaotic Neutral to Chaotic Good. | |

This Is Unforgivable!: María told Luis Fernando, when she was getting out of her madness (but still at the Bedlam House) that she had given away the baby. Luis Fernando ignored it, he thought that she was still a bit lost in her madness. To make it clear that he did not believe what she was saying, he comforted her, and told her that "if I ever find out that you gave away my son, I would never forgive you. I would despise you, forever". | |

Plot Hole | |
| María la del barrio / int_6331ba26 | comment |
Plot Hole: Nandito lost his wallet at Soraya's house the same day Calixta died, which made him the main suspect. María claimed to be the murderer, to prevent Nandito from going to jail. Some days later, the police officers told that there was no reason to suspect from Nandito, and that María had clearly lied to protect him. Still, it was never specified which new information had arisen to deny such a heavy smoking gun against nandito. | |

Rich Idiot With No Day Job: Luis Fernando began as one, but got a job as part of his slow redemption. Maria refused to become this kind of rich and insisted to have a job; but gave it up when she lost her son and started looking for him all day (which became her job). She finally found her son, but did not return to work then. | |

Idiot Ball | |
| María la del barrio / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: The infamous MALDITA LISIADA!! scene is full of these. There's three people in the room against one crazy woman, and nobody once bats an eyelid to help the elderly woman being choked to death. When Soraya is finally restrained, instead of just taking the poor disabled girl to safety, they just briefly take her to the door and let her stay there. Oh, and they let go of the restrained Soraya to go help the old lady on the ground that's already being helped by two other people, prompting her to grab a pair of scissors. Everyone stands perfectly still talking to each other about how they can stop the psychotic Soraya instead of just trying to restrain her again or running away. Only after she deals a blow to Nandito's arm, it is then they decide to restrain her. After much drama, and with her yelling out loud she will hunt them down and kill them if they call the police or a doctor, they question whether they should call a doctor or not, while Nandito passes out and bleeds to death. Oh, and shortly after all that, two of her three main victims are seen recovering from the whole ordeal, and the guy who had her restrained brought her there and told everyone she wouldn't do anything bad. Rule of Drama at its finest. | |

Swiss Cheese Security: Luis Fernando ordered her secretary that Soraya is not allowed in his office and had to be removed from the building if she returns. Soraya simply appears as if she was at home, hangs up the secretary's phone, and tell her that she'll go in unannounced. Nobody stops her, and nobody thinks about calling the security guards either. The next day, the secretary stops her, but Soraya says that she will not leave until she talks with Luis Fernando. Luis Fernando reminds his secretary of his explicit orders; but again, she's allowed in, instead of taken outside by the security. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| María la del barrio / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: How Maria and Luis Fernando got their marriage resolved in the final episode. Toward the end of the series, Soraya decides that her next stage of her revenge should be to destroy Maria and Luis Fernando's marriage to do so. She employs Gonzalo to take an extremely drunk Luis Fernando to her house. She strips him naked and has her main chambermaid take pictures of her in various suggestive positions with him while wearing only her nightgown. She then puts the pictures in Luis Fernando's suit jacket pocket, and calls Maria to tell her to look in that spot. Maria sees the pictures and says she wants to divorce Luis Fernando. That same day, she takes the fall for Nana Calixta's murder and is sent to prison. Every time Luis Fernando tries to see Maria, she turns him away and insists she wants a divorce. Luis Fernando finally acquiesces to her wishes. Maria says she will marry Gonzalo. However, just before the divorce process can start, the prison fire happens, and everyone presumes Maria for dead. When Maria is discovered to be alive, Luis Fernando apparently forgets all about the divorce process and searches for Maria. Maria is wandering the streets without memory and gets kidnapped by Soraya. She recovers her memory just as Luis Fernando rescues her. Soraya dies in the cabin fire. It then cuts to the next scene, which is two months later. Luis Fernando and Maria are lucky in love as if none of the previous events have happened. While Maria does briefly mention their "two months of reconciliation," there's very little explanation as to how the tension in their marriage was resolved. How did Luis Fenando explain away the very saucy pictures? How he got to Soraya's in the first place? Etc. | |

'80s Hair | |
| María la del barrio / int_8b4f2a4f | comment |
'80s Hair: On the main cast, only Luis Fernando, but his ex-girlfriend Brenda had huge poofy 80s hair. Surprisingly not a case of Two Decades Behind, and actually a Justified Trope: his series was from the mid-90s, but a Freeze-Frame Bonus reveals that Soraya's pregnancy certificate was delivered the 16th of June 1980, which has to be the exact day the events of episode 9 unfold. Therefore, instead of starting at the time of filming in 1995 and ending in a putative, 90s-like 2010, the show started depicting events that would have been a flashback to the eighties and went forward from there organically or through time skips until it reached the then-present, at the end of filming. | |

Too Clever by Half: Calixta was not concerned when María was taken to the hospital: there is nothing that any doctor may do, and her recipe is completely undetectable. Guess again: they detected that María was victim of a poison made with herbs, and healed her with a gastric lavage. Perhaps Calixta could fool the doctors some decades ago, but Science Marches On. | |

In Love with the Mark: Soraya and Nandito, Durantes and Maria, Aldo and Tita, and Tita and Nandito. In each case, the first one started a fake romance with a secret intention, and then fell in love for real. However, Aldo and Tita was the only romance that stayed for the happy ending. | |

Fake Pregnancy | |

Fake Pregnancy: Soraya got married with Luis Fernando with this trick, as he already hated her. When the latter points out the lack of obvious pregnancy symptoms on her, she simply fakes having a miscarriage. | |

Big Bad Wannabe: Penélope, who replaced Soraya as the Big Bad. But, unlike her predecessor, she never had any master plan in action other than trying to seduce Luis Fernando. It took her more than seven years to get any results, and she was immediately fired. | |

Monochrome Past | |
| María la del barrio / int_c74c35f4 | comment |
Monochrome Past: Since the second half of the series onwards, each flashback of something important said by someone does not replay the scene, but rather places the character on a sepia color and talking to the screen (not as a Fourth-Wall Observer, but meaning that it's the way that the quotation is remembered by the one that heard it). | |

Cassandra Truth | |

Cassandra Truth: When Nandito started dating Soraya, Luis Fernando told him that she was not her "lover" as she claimed, she was her wife. The wife who cheated him, pretended to be dead, tried to flirt with him when she returned, swore vengueance against the family, and now uses Nandito to continue her plans. Nandito simply refused to believe it. | |

Anti-Villain | |
| María la del barrio / int_d001c42c | comment |
Though it might make sense for Victoria, whose schemes never went too far and whose main concern was always her family. When Maria was proved to be neither her husband's mistress/secret-daughter nor a danger for her sons, she softened up. Beforehand, she always at least tried to be polite and quickly conceded that Maria wasn't resonsible of her bad education. As for Carlota, she never truly chose a side, eavesdropping on everyone and endangering everybody's plans, so she might simply have slowly evolved from Chaotic Neutral to Chaotic Good. | |

Love Makes You Evil: Soraya had a genuine love for Luis Fernando, even if a little twisted, but it only led her to manipulate him to get married with her against his will, attempt revenge schemes when he rejected her, and more revenge schemes against María, that she blamed for Luis Fernando's rejection. It got worse when Soraya actually fell in love with Nandito. It led to the whole "¡¡¿¿QUÉ HACES BESANDO A LA LISIADA??!! scandal. | |
