Are you an Asianovela fanatic?

July 30, 2007 at 5:28 am | In Uncategorized |

The word Asianovela comes from the words “Asia” or “Asian” and “Novela” from the word “Telenovela”. This term refers to Asian-produced telenovelas.

Asianovelas have been always top-rating in the Philippine television. Filipinos adore watching “small-eyed” actors and actresses on TV. Have you ever stopped for awhile and wondered why such TV shows always ’click’ in the Philippines?

I’ve read an article on a daily newspaper in Iloilo about it and I kinda agree with it. Most of our teleserye and soap operas are heavy on drama and have almost the same plot. So when the Asianovelas invaded the country with its comedic-flavor and very handsome and pretty stars, the Filipinos automatically loved them. Some even requested for replays for the Asian series, concerts and visits of the stars of their favorite Asianovelas. Filipinos even follow their hairstyles, the way they dress and their favorite expressions like “Aja!”.

So to cut it short, Filipinos love entertainment. They need and want something that would make them laugh and end up smiling at the end of the day. Incidentally, these asianovelas provided them that kind of entertainment and so they eventually loved and adored them. And that includes me.

Here are some of the asianovelas I was fond of:

I know some of you might be thinking that this kind of post is already late but an asianovela I’m watching is about to end this week and I realized that I haven’t made any posts about such topic, so here it is. Anyway, I know there are fanatics too out there so which of these shows made your heart go wild? Aminin…..

I remembered Meteor Garden.
As I love to say ‘F4′ to refer to Meteor Garden I’ve made my brother feels he had succeed in inserting his F1 craziness to me. And he’s very happy to have a little sister who love to watch both F1 and F4

i absolutely loved and adored (and daydreamed) about Princess Hours. I even made a post about it. I liked Full House even though I was only able to watch select episodes. i was a fan of vivian and carlo from Lovers in Paris, and how can i forget “It started with a kiss”? Sana nga lang ipashow ito ng ABS-CBN sa primetime television. Bitin kasi yung sa weekends lang. Di ko napapanood most of the time.
