I feel like telenovelas and soap operas are so popular in so many other countries besides the United States. Also, I found it very interesting that Vietnam does voice overs and doesn't produce new content in their country. I assumed that every country was able to produce their own television for their country, but the fact that Vietnam imports many of their shows is intriguing. I wonder how much longer the industry will be at a "stand still". I think living in America sometimes makes you forget about the fact that there are other countries in the world that don't have freedom of speech and aren't allowed to do/say whatever they wish. However, I do love the fact that telenovelas and soap operas like this act as an escape for those that are suppressed or unhappy in their country.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02297253776740057908noreply@blogger.com
