Scripted or no — this Spanish language drama had social media glued to computer screens on Monday morning.

While the vast majority online drank the drama up, some were skeptical, specifically of the flawless camera work.
Other red flags included the fact no one interacted with the cameraman at all or attempted to stop him recording the embarrassing scenario; the fact that all the main characters were conveniently color coded; and the fact that nobody got hurt, including one outraged guest in pink who demanded to be let go, but then did nothing.
