经验告诉我，每当被学业所困扰的时候，都会有一套欧美肥皂剧跳出来“拯救”我的卑微
而这次是——《Ugly Betty》（《丑女也有出头天》，我蛮爱这个中文名）
看来我和老美的口味越来越相似了，因为它可是最当红炸子鸡——收视冠军！

也难怪，看过的人都知道，它几乎包括了所有吸引眼球的因素：
1。剧情上可以说是《BJ单身日记》＋《The Devil Wears Prada》，把丑女扔进凤凰堆、历经侮辱却力保自信善良，这太符合美国精神了！何况小姑娘还是墨西哥移民，民族熔炉就这样体现了。
2。结构上受到《Desperate Housewives》的启发，开篇用一个带有侦破性质的暗线串连着，谋杀、家族丑闻、豪门争夺、变性、绯闻……好看的元素都穿插其中，加上一个绝对意外的部分答案，掉足观众的胃口。
3。感觉和《Sex And The City》相似，剧集中到处是俊男靓女、时髦服饰、最in的餐厅、最chic的潮流英语，只要你对fanshion有那么一点点兴趣，那么你对它就没有抵抗力。

与同期的DH、LOST、PB、24 HOURS等相比，Ugly Betty的剧情简直是太轻松幽默了，但其中传递出的感情却又能默默地让你心里抽动几下，我想这是它时髦外衣之下，最打动我的地方；比起《The devil wears Prada》，连续剧又表现出绝对的时间优势，无论是对于时尚产业的描述、还是对时尚人士的描绘，都更真实和细节化。

Betty至今为之都没有麻雀变凤凰，当然她已经不穿那件骇人听闻的斗篷了，但她还带着牙箍和眼镜、B字项链；她从未为了身材放弃爸爸做的肉饼，不忍拒绝帮任何一个人的忙；她还是坦诚、真实、坚强和乐观。这一点，PB那个小帅哥说的很有启发：“If we lose ourself,we lose everything.”
Betty没有变成Mode Girl，Betty也没有像Anna一样拂手而去，所以我们爱Betty！



ABC官网简介：
In the superficial world of high fashion, image is everything. Styles come and go, and the only constants are the superthin beauties who wear them. How can an ordinary girl - a slightly plump plain-Jane from Queens - possibly fit in?

If you took a moment to get to know Betty Suarez, you'd see how sweet, intelligent and hard-working she is. But few people do, because in the world of high fashion Betty is the oversized peg in the petite round hole. When publishing mogul Bradford Meade hands the reigns of Mode, the bible of the fashion industry, over to this son, Daniel, he specifically hires Betty as his son's new assistant - mostly because she's the only woman in NYC Daniel won't sleep with. Though this "player" is reluctant to accept her at first, Betty's indomitable spirit and bright ideas will eventually win him over. Neither of them really knows the ins and outs of the fashion world, but the two are a formidable team against those who will do anything to see them fall.

And they really are swimming with the sharks. Diva fashionista Wilhelmina Slater is incensed that Bradford Meade passed her over and promoted Daniel to the coveted job after the mysterious death of Mode's legendary editress, Fey Sommers. Wilhelmina, along with toadying assistant Marc and scheming receptionist Amanda, are out to sabotage Daniel and Betty any chance they get. Betty finds a friend in warm-hearted Christina, who works as the magazine's in-house seamstress and seems to know everything about everybody who works there.

Away from work, Betty's home life is far from glamorous. Dad Ignacio and her sister, Hilda, worry that she's just setting herself up for a fall, while nephew Justin encourages his aunt to dream big (even if he's aghast at her fashion sense). Nerdy boyfriend Walter, who unceremoniously dumped Betty, keeps turning up despite her attempts to get him to stay away.
