In the midst of her rise as an actress, in 1999 she received one of the most important offers of her career as a presenter: to be part of Hoy as the starter of the morning, which would replace Just today, a program with which he had won the love of television viewers.
However, at the same time he was in castings for an ambitious Televisa soap opera that would be called Llegaste at Destiempo. For this melodrama she was considered the protagonist.
Andrea couldn't be in both projects at the same time, because they told her that she had to dedicate herself entirely to Hoy or the soap opera, so she decided to abandon the castings of Llegaste at Destiempo and agreed to continue with the driving, as that had become her true passion.

The telenovela was intended to only be less than 100 episodes, but since its premiere it became one of Televisa's greatest hits. It was so well received by this melodrama that they decided to extend it to 275 chapters.
Thanks to Tres Mujeres Karyme Lozano catapulted her acting career to fame. From then on, he became the protagonist of several productions, a fate that Legarreta would have had if he stayed within the project.
Although the success of the soap opera she abandoned was evident, Legarreta did not regret her decision to dedicate herself to Hoy, since she later starred in ¡Vivan los niños! , a melodrama that was also very well received by the public. After this project, she completely quit acting to just be a presenter.
In an interview with Faisy on Faisy Nights, Andrea confessed that being a presenter was one of her biggest dreams since she fully integrated into the entertainment industry, so being part of Today was an achievement for her.
