what is Telenovela all about?
Generally speaking, Telenovela is just a television drama (or soap) from Latin America
really, so from the name, it looks like a combination of television and novel, am i right?
Yup. It's intuitively named. 'tele' for television and 'novela' for novel
ok, so am right then, when did it start existing?
To be honest I'm not sure :) But, the episodes are usually between 30-45 minutes
