Bom Sucesso (English: A Life Worth Living)[1] is a Brazilian telenovela produced and broadcast by Globo. It premiered on 29 July 2019, replacing Verão 90, and ended on 24 January 2020, being replaced by Salve-se Quem Puder.[2][3][4][5]
It stars Grazi Massafera, Rômulo Estrela, David Junior, Antônio Fagundes, Ingrid Guimarães, Fabiula Nascimento, Armando Babaioff and Sheron Menezzes in the main roles.[6]
Paloma (Grazi Massafera), is a seamstress who raised her three children alone: Alice (Bruna Inocencio), Gabriela (Giovanna Coimbra) and Peter (João Bravo). Paloma creates the costumes for Unidos de Bom Sucesso, a samba school. Her world turns upside down when she receives the wrong test results that confirm that she only has six months to live, which makes her do everything she never had the courage to do, including sleeping with a stranger, Marcos (Rômulo Estrela), who falls in love with her. Upon discovering that she received the wrong test results, Paloma decides to meet the man who does have six months to live and comes across Alberto (Antônio Fagundes), a millionaire who never valued his family. Despite opposite personalities, the two form a friendship that takes them on a journey of discovery: she through books and he through the pleasures of life and sleeping feelings, including reliving a love of the past with Vera (Ângela Vieira).
The telenovela was approved with the title Chuvas de Verão, then in July 2018, it had its title changed to Bom Sucesso, as a reference to the neighborhood where the plot takes place.[48] In February 2019, the title was once again changed this time to Doce Deleite, however the title was later reverted to Bom Sucesso.[49] In March 2019, Globo took advantage of the samba school parades in Sambadrome Marquês de Sapucaí to film scenes for the telenovela.[50][51] Filming officially began on 6 May 2019, and concluded in January 2020.[52][53]
