<< review queue entry 37728 - submitted by 'richwarm' >> I think "idol drama" is not a recognized English term, but simply made up ad hoc by translating 偶像 and 剧 individually. "famous superstars"? Is there some other kind of superstar? Popular Taiwanese dramas generally divided into “idol dramas" （偶像劇） and Taiwanese Minnan dramas (台語劇). "Idol dramas" use the most popular singers and actors or actresses in the Taiwanese entertainment industry, most of whom are in their late teens or 20s, regardless of actual acting experience. The idol dramas cater primarily to the teen or 20s age group. ... It is common for the actors and actresses in Taiwanese dramas - especially "idol dramas" - to also be pop singers and rock musicians. ---- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwanese_drama |
