In recent years, the Spanish-language TV series on the Netflix platform can be described as one more wonderful than the other: whether it is the comedy-style "Fat Girl Scout" (from the second part to be included in the Netflix to become an exclusive broadcast platform), or the popular "Paper House" in these years, or the "Famous School Storm" that takes the route of the youth campus dog blood, and "Wired Girl"... Each of these episodes is charming, gripping, and makes people want to stop as soon as they open it.

Mateo Vidal Rivera (Mario Casas饰演)
Mateo is the male lead of the show. Everything that happened to him began the day he went to the dance hall with his brother. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of joy, tragedy was quietly staged... And this tragedy also opened up his rather bumpy life experience.
In addition to his impressive performance in The Invisible Guest, Mario Casas, who collaborated again with director Oriol, won the Feroz Award for Best Supporting Actor for Las brujas de Zugarrarmurdi and Mi gran noche. In 2010, he starred in the film Tres metros sobre el cielo (three meters in the sky), which won the first place at the Spanish box office that year.
Olivia Costa (played by Aura Garrido)
Olivia is Mateo's wife. But after the male protagonist received several mysterious phone calls and messages, he found that his beautiful wife seemed to have some hidden secrets.
Actor Aura's first screen role was Erica in Física o química (physical chemistry), and later in the TV series Ángel o demonio (angel and devil) and El ministerio del tiempo (Time Bureau), among others. In addition, her performance in the TV series Stockholm (Stockholm) made Aura nominated for the Goya Award and the Filez Award for Best Actress, respectively.
Lorena Ortriz (played by Alexandra Jiménez)
Lorena Ortriz is a female police officer who also has a sad past. In the play, Lorena is responsible for an orphanage suicide case, which seems to have nothing to do with the male protagonist's family, but eventually becomes the key to linking their fates.
Alexandra, who plays Lorena, is a young actress best known for her film and television productions 100 Metros (100 meters in life) and Superlópez (Super Lopez). She is also an assistant director.
Emma Durán (played by Juana Acosta)
Emma Durán was the victim of the orphanage suicide case investigated by the female police officer Lorena Ortriz, a devout nun. However, as the investigation progresses, the officer discovers that her true identity may be the opposite of that of a nun.
Actor Juana Acosta was born in Colombia and settled in Spain at the age of 24 with dual citizenship. She has appeared in numerous films and TV series, including Hospital Central, Perfectos desconocidos (Perfect Stranger Spanish) and many more.
Jaime Vera(Gonzalo de Casatro饰演)
Jaime Vera plays a doctor in the show, who is also a key character in the show. And his relationship with the male protagonist will start from the night Mateo went to the dance hall.
In the dimly lit and staggered disco, a graduation ball is taking place. The handsome boy Mateo chatted happily with her under the accompaniment of a beautiful woman, but unexpectedly this move caused displeasure among the girls' friends. Mateo's older brother rushes to defend his brother, and the two gangs slowly commotion with the effects of alcohol.

However, as the conflict grew louder, Mateo accidentally pushed a boy named Daniel to a stone in the chaos, resulting in the death of the other party on the spot. It was such an accident that completely changed Mateo's life after that.
Mateo was sentenced to four years in prison for accidental homicide. He has been living in pain and remorse, and in the face of Daniel's parents, he can only allow the other party to vent the pain of losing his son on himself (yes, the doctor Jaime Vera is Daniel's father).
During this time, the only thing that made him happy was that while he was out serving his sentence, he met a beautiful girl, Olivia, in a bar. The two meet in Pingshui, and Mateo does not expect to see each other again. Surprisingly, shortly after his release from prison, he actually met Olivia again. The two will soon be married and will soon usher in a new life.
Just when Mateo thought he could forget the past and start over, his wife suddenly said that she was going abroad for work reasons. Soon after, Mateo was shocked to see a photo of a strange man coming from his wife Olivia's account. Immediately after, a man calls him on his wife's phone, claiming that he knows all Olivia's secrets...
Meanwhile, Lorena, a female police officer, is investigating a suspicious case of a sister, María, who fell from a building. The monastery where the crime occurred is where Lorena, who lost her father, grew up. As the investigation unfolds, more and more extraordinary details emerge: what appears to be signs of suicide are constantly being overturned, and her debauched experiences as a chaste nun are revealed little by little by physical evidence.
Lorena found that the deceased had made a critical 6-minute call two days after his murder. She followed the address of the phone to look for it, but found the male protagonist here... What is the connection between these two things?
What secrets is hidden by the man's wife, Olivia? What does he have to do with the murder of the nun? The editor can responsibly tell you that behind two seemingly unrelated events, there is a thrilling and evocative story hidden, and there will be several key characters who will appear later. What the hell is going on? Please also go to the play to find the answer.
In this drama, the complexity of human nature is vividly displayed: in the seemingly righteous camp (police and lawyers), there may also be criminals who know the law and break the law, and even use their positions to exonerate themselves; and among those who seem to be inferior and look down upon by countless people, there are also brave people who choose to resist for the sake of inner conscience and justice.
As for the "El inocente" in the title – which means "innocent (innocent) person" in Spanish – who exactly is meant? Wrapped up in money and lust, driven by anger and hatred, does the complete "innocent man" really exist? I believe that after watching this drama, everyone will have a deeper understanding of this.
