What is Telenovela exactly?
It's a soap opera run for a limited-time usually in Latin America.
Oh really? Sounds like a bit of a cheesy name
Yeah. The word basically means tele novel, haha.
Yea haha seems like a very basic name
There are other names for it around the world like teleroman in Quebec, Canada. 
Oh yea? I was never too keen on soap operas
Same, my grandparents looooved them though. Too much melodrama and too many emotional relationships for me.
