   Alice is a spoiled [3] and arrogant little girl.

They begin dating, but when Alice discovers that Guilherme is lying, she ends the relationship,though [8] she is still in love with him. This is a summary of the lives of the characters Alice and Guilherme in the soap opera Morde e Assopra (Globo, 7.30 PM).  During the course of the soap opera these flawed [9] characters will face some unexpected problems. But their suffering will help them become better people. In real life, Marina Ruy Barbosa and Klebber Toledo began dating during the filming of the soap opera. He is 25 years old and made his TV debut in 2007, working onthe show Malhação. Before becoming an actor, Toledo played volleyball from 15 to 17 years of age, and then worked as a waiter [10], salesman [11] and even a dance teacher. Marina is much younger, at only 16, but she has more TV experience than her boyfriend. She made her debut on Globo at nine years of age and was in four soap operas before Morde e Assopra.
