Drama of this kind is usually qualified with additional terms that specify its particular super-genre, macro-genre, or micro-genre, such as soap opera, police crime drama, political drama, legal drama, historical drama, domestic drama, teen drama, and comedy-drama (dramedy).

In this broader sense, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
