How it's used
Refers specifically to a film produced for television broadcast rather than a theatrical release. While modern audiences often use generic terms like 電影 or 劇集, this term remains useful for distinguishing standalone features made for the small screen. It carries a slightly more formal or industry-focused tone compared to casual conversation.

Common mistake
Avoid confusing this with 劇集, which refers to a multi-episode television series. Using this term for a long-running show will sound unnatural to native speakers.
