The focus shifted onto a male lead character named Bruno Plenske (Lisa's half-brother, played by Tim Sander). 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''".
