Chinovelas, Koreanovelas, etc.

haha. definitely a typical Filipino family attribute. ^_^ actually, it all started from Mexicanovelas, then it evolved to Taiwanovelas (the all-time fave Meteor Garden!), chinovelas then the present koreanovelas. I can say that i am one of the frequent viewers of these "novelas" since it somehow contributes and relates to my social life. but as of now, i stopped watching. hehe. i was an avid fan of meteor garden, though. hehe.
