Telenovela
A telenovela is a type of a television serial drama or soap opera produced primarily in Latin America. The word combines ''tele'' (for "television") and ''novela'' (meaning "novel").

This planned run results in a faster-paced, more concise style of melodrama compared to a typical soap opera. Episodes o ...
