What is a "soap opera"?
A soap opera is a type of television drama that focuses on the ongoing lives, relationships, and challenges of a group of characters. These shows often have complex storylines with dramatic twists and emotional moments, and they typically air regularly, sometimes daily, over long periods. Soap operas are known for their serialized format, where episodes continue a story from the previous one, making it easy for viewers to follow along.
