Patito Feo (in English, "Ugly Duckling") is a 2007-2008 teen drama from Argentina, based, as you can imagine, on the The Ugly Duckling tale.The main character is Patricia Castro, known by the diminutive of the name Patricia, "Patito" ("duckling", and yes, she's the one ugly but with a heart of gold). She lives in Bariloche, a city in the very south of Argentina, with her mother Carmen, and once fell in love with Matías, a guy from Buenos Aires, who visited the city.Some time later, the family moves to Buenos Aires; there, they meet Patito's father Leandro, but are were unaware of this, since Carmen tried to avoid him. Patito then enrolls in a school of arts... where Matías also attends. Problem is, Matías has a girlfriend, Antonella, the leader of a group of beautiful but mean girls. And Antonella's mother Bianca is Leandro's girlfriend, and tries to prevent him from getting near Carmen.This series must not be confused with the tale "The Ugly Duckling".

Genre Shift: The show which had no supernatural elements in the first season started off in the second season with a witch who cast a spell on both Patito and Antonella in order to try the Freaky Friday flip out of the blue.

All Psychology Is Freudian
 Patito Feo / int_31fa019d
comment
All Psychology Is Freudian: Lampshaded. When Carmen goes to see a Psychologist, it was an expy of Freud himself. She was taken to a Freudian Couch, even when a common chair was just fine. And then... This is congruent with the situation of psychology in Argentina, where almost all psychologists are Freudian and other currents are not very popular.

The Pollyanna: Despite being portrayed as a Shrinking Violet in general, when she is surrounded by her friends and trusted people, Patito is in fact quite cheerful, charismatic and even energetic, this is even more noticeable in later seasons when she leaves her shyness and insecurity behind.

Broken Aesop: If Antonella, the beatiful and mean girl, turns out to be the favourite of the public, and the writers choose instead to write about her, the whole "ugly duckling" tale and aesop is lost.

comment
All of the Other Reindeer: Contrary to what one would expect this is quite downplayed. Patito actually has many people who genuinely love and appreciate her, and it is only very specific people who discriminate against her and reject, like Antonella, her mother Blanca and her friends. In fact, it's more her shyness and Heroic Self-Deprecation that tends to hold her back.

Enemy Mine: Antonella, best friend of Patito? Doesn't that make it the end of the series? No, just add the new girl Tamara, even more mean than Antonella (and even evil, Antonella was just mean), turn her into Antonella's enemy, and we have new plots for months.

Plucky Girl: Much of Patito's Character Development consists of becoming this. She goes through many problems and difficulties that escalate more and more throughout the series, but she gradually learns to have confidence in herself and to stand up when everything goes wrong. By the final stretches she has abandoned her Prone to Tears attitude entirely and faces difficulties with her head held high.

Adults Are Useless
 Patito Feo / int_a939d96a
comment
Adults Are Useless: None of the teachers in charge of the institution seem to be able to do anything about Antonella's bullying (in fact she was only punished once, in the second episode), and they only seem to be willing to get involved in matters if it is something that bothers them. can benefit in some way. Also in episode 18, Patito was about to drown in the camp, and none of the teachers who were taking care of her noticed her until they told them, in fact it was the STUDENTS who jumped into the water to rescue her. On the other hand, Blanca's upbringing of her children is quite... questionable at best, and downright alarming at worst (she encourages Antonella's bad actions, turns her against Patito even though she hasn't done anything to her, and only corrects her if what she does could harm her plans).

Beautiful Singing Voice: Because the story takes place in a kind of High School Rocks, t is not surprising that a large part of the students stand out in singing. But Patito stands out in particular for having a natural talent for singing and a beautiful voice, so much so that Antonella herself has felt threatened by this.

Ironic Echo Cut: When it was leaked that Carmen helped the Populares to write songs and organize their dance, Blanca protested, and was allowed to help the Divinas the same way. Blanca took it as an open war against Carmen... but Carmen knows about that stuff, and Blanca does not. And Patito loves her mother, while Antonella is an Alpha Bitch. The next scenes of both groups contrasted the opposite reactions: Carmen dances well, Blanca falls while attempting to dance, Carmen wants to help out of generosity, Blanca wants to help out of revenge against Carmen, Patito says "I love you mom, you are the greatest!", Antonella says "I hate you mom, you are a disaster!"

Reasonable Authority Figure: In a series where most Adults Are Useless or outright villains, Leandro is one of the sensible characters that exist, he happily welcomes Patito into his house, helps her to have confidence in herself, he defends her of Antonella's bullying, and encourages her to go further with your dreams. Possibly this is an unconscious reflection of his paternity.
