In 2001, Caracol TV introduced us to Pedro Coral Tavera, a fun-loving, dancing, ladies man, with a mullet, a heart of gold, and a serious lying problem. Pedro El Escamoso, written by the powerhouse association of writers Luis Felipe Salamanca and Dago Garcia, turns tragedy into comedy in this cautionary tale of what happens when appearences matter more than truth, and love turns into obsession, all while dancing the Pirulino dance.
