Without Alexandra Neldel, however, the show lost much of its original appeal and dwindling ratings led to its cancellation in 2007. ''Verliebt in Berlin'' has also been broadcast in dubbed versions in Hungary (as ''Lisa csak egy van'') and France (as ''Le destin de Lisa''). Although ''Verliebt in Berlin'' continued with new featured characters and original storylines, it is still credited as "based on ''Yo Soy Betty La Fea''".

'' ended. The first episode was a pretty faithful remake of the pilot episode for ''Ugly Betty'', with only minor changes, making this the first series to be adapted directly from the American ''Ugly Betty'' and not the Colombian ''Yo soy Betty, la fea''.

The third season began on 11 February 2011 without the show's leading man, Tornike Gogrichiani, who played Tamuna's boss, Nika Kekelidze. Gogrichiani was absent from the season's first four episodes and it was rumored online that he may be leaving the series altogether.
