Like, la leyenda , or simply Like is a Mexican telenovela that premiered on 10 September 2018 on Las Estrellas.[1] The telenovela is produced by Pedro Damián for Televisa. The series follows the lives of 13 high school students and the problems that adolescents experience during their time in high school. In the United States it premiered on Univision on 14 October 2018.[2]

Plot

The telenovela narrates the experiences of a group of young people interned at the Life Institute of Knowledge and Evolution (LIKE), a prestigious and cosmopolitan educational institution, with a supposedly modern and open educational system, but in reality it is deeply traditional and schematic. In this institution, which presumes its level of vanguard, each beginning of the school year a new generation of high school students are formed with rigid and tedious routines, in addition to educational techniques that do not excite anyone. The educational plan of Like, completely obsolete, has made teachers and students apathetic and conformist. That apathetic atmosphere will be challenged by Gabriel Rey, "Gabo", an atypical teacher who will come to the school after many years of experience, and who was also a student at Like. Gabo will encourage students not to conform to what adults want to impose on them, provoking a true revolution in Like, which will generate confrontations between teachers, parents and students.
