ELI5: Why soap operas look... "different" than other TV shows/movies

Is it the way it's lit (more dramatic lighting)? Different camera (digital/film)?
gpt
Soap operas are most of the time very low budget. They can't use actual 'film'(expensive) which records at 24 frames per second(most hollywood movies), so they use videotape(yes, vhs), which records at 60(?) frames per second.
