The word "telenovela" literally translates as "TV novel", but in some Spanish-speaking countries "novela" is rarely used for actual novels (instead often used as slang for Harlequin/Mills and Boon-type novellas, which telenovelas share a lot of tropes with), which is why the 'tele-' can be dropped and not confuse anyone. In some countries, like Chile, they may be called "teleseries" (spelled "teleser yes" in the Philippines), which obviously shows how prevalent they can be. In addition, episodes for any TV series can be referred to as "capítulos" (chapters). Pasión de gavilanes ("Passion of the Sparrowhawks"): The three Reyes brothers, first looking Revenge against the Elizondo family for their sister's death, end falling in love with the three Elizondo sisters. Complications ensue thanks to the sisters' very uptight and classist mother and Fernando Escandón, the ex-husband of the elder sister who holds a grudge against the Reyes.

Nada Personal ("Nothing Personal"). Made in The '90s. Noteworthy only because it was the first Mexican soap to try and deal with then-current national politics. Jane the Virgin, the American version of the Venezuelan Juana la virgen, although over time it became its own thing. Another odd fact is that there are often telenovelas produced that are aimed at a child audience, with the same drama transplanted onto (more) teenagers than the regular programming. There are also many shows that recognize the melodrama of the telenovela and play with the genre, including possibly having a Soap Within a Show. In United States productions, Telenovelas within shows frequently appear as an Addictive Foreign Soap Opera.

La rosa de Guadalupe is a religious-themed Mexican novela with An Aesop learned in every episode. The storylines last one or two episodes and it follows a format that resembles more of a drama series, but it's still called and considered a telenovela.

Spanish and Portuguese speakers often run their soaps in Prime Time in countries where those are the major languages, like Commonwealth countries do of soaps. This is important compared to the US, where they won't make it to regular programming in daylight hours, let alone a good time slot. This means that Univision and other Spanish networks (e.g. Telemundo) can easily broadcast their novelas in the US whenever they want, which can include marathons all week if they so please, which understandably makes the target audience (supposedly elderly Latin American women with nothing else to do) very happy. This may also be helped by there being a significant US-led telenovela market, with many being produced in Miami. There's also a cable channel dedicated exclusively to showing telenovelas, Pasiones TV ("Passions TV"), which is broadcast in Latin America and the US. However, the concept has proven difficult to translate for non-Spanish speaking audiences; when Fox launched MyNetworkTV in 2006, their attempted all-English telenovela-style lineup flopped hard, dooming MNTV just as it began.El Maleficio ("The Curse"). A Mexican production from the Eighties. This one is notable for its STRONG supernatural elements.

Latin America and the Philippines' answer to the Soap Opera, telenovelas (Literally, "TV novels", also known as simply novelas, or "novels") are perhaps a mini-series version, not running more than five years — the current record is just over four years and the average is six to ten months — but they make up for this with ten times the drama and melodramatic acting and plot twists that would pain any drama teacher. If you want shouting, cheating, secret relatives, murder, faked deaths, and fainting in Spanish, this is where you should go. They're very passionate, which is likely why many have "Passion" in the title. Step 2: Once the emulator is installed, just open it and find Google Playstore App icon on the home screen of Memuplay.

La madrastra ("The Stepmother"), yet another Mexican remake of a Chilean soap, about a woman who, while attempting to solve the Miscarriage of Justice which left her in prison for two decades, ends becoming the stepmother of her own children (who were told she died and were too young to remember her when she was sent to jail). And that's before the plot becomes truly convoluted. Famous in the United States for being comically recapped by The Soup. Betty en NY: A Spanish-language American-produced series based off of Yo soy Betty, la fea. Betty moves to NYC, where she joins a fashion company as the president's personal secretary. Yo soy Betty, la fea, a Colombian soap, later remade in Mexico and again revamped in America as the Dramedy Ugly Betty; THE most successful soap in history, it's been imitated all around the world. El Pecado De Oyuki ("Oyuki´s Sin" in Spanish), based on a mexican comic written by Yolanda Vargas Dulché, relates about a Japanese geisha falling in love with a British main in XIX century. Despite its good intentions and the help from some Japanese culture groups to recreate Japanese life, customs and clothes, there were enough ' Yellow Face' (the most of the Japanese characters were Mexican actors, to the point that actor Ana Martin damaged her eyes due to the makeup effects to make her eyes look "japanese") and enough errors over traditions to make the Japanese Embassy to ask Televisa to not show the telenovela in TV again.
