Perhaps in the 'Cruel Love Telenovela', a key plot point is the loss of memory. One of the lovers loses their memory due to an accident. This makes the other lover suffer as they try to make the person remember their relationship. Meanwhile, there might be other characters who take advantage of this situation to come between them, adding to the 'cruelty' of the love story. The lover with the memory loss may even start a new relationship, not knowing about their past love, which breaks the heart of the other. This complex web of events can be a central part of the story.
As I don't know the exact telenovela, I think one main plot point could be a love triangle. One of the main characters might be caught between two lovers, and this creates a lot of drama and conflict. It makes the love seem cruel as the person has to choose and in the process may hurt one of the others.
