Really? What can you tell me about them?

I know that one significant difference is that they are usually about on self-contained story whereas the soap operas we have here go on and on.

Yeah the telenovelas are limited in length

But apparently it makes for a much more fast-paced more concise style.  So I think people like them specifically for that reason.
