How to use 连续剧
连续剧 is a common word for a TV series with many episodes, and it is often used with the measure word 部 (bù). In everyday speech 电视剧 (diànshìjù) is used even more often for TV dramas. Example: 我最近在看一部韩国连续剧。(Wǒ zuìjìn zài kàn yí bù Hánguó liánxùjù.) I have been watching a Korean TV series lately.
Break it into 连续 (liánxù), meaning continuous or in a row, plus 剧 (jù), meaning drama. A 连续剧 is a drama that keeps continuing, episode after episode.
Common mistake: Learners often write 续 (xù) as 读 (dú) or 卖 (mài) because the right sides look alike. 续 has the silk radical 纟 on the left, while 读 has the speech radical 讠.
