Contexto cultural
The 'cày' culture extends to education. Students often 'cày' for exams, meaning they study intensely for days. The rise of 'cày phim' is closely linked to the popularity of Korean dramas in Vietnam, which are often long and addictive. Vietnamese youth use 'cày' to show loyalty to their idols by 'cày view' on YouTube. The metaphor shows that even in leisure, Vietnamese people value a sense of 'hard work' and completion.
Use with 'bộ'
Saying 'cày phim bộ' makes you sound very natural as it specifies you are watching a series.
Don't overdo it
Vietnamese people often joke about 'cày phim' causing dark circles under eyes (mắt gấu trúc).
