HSK 7
（要+）动词+就+动词+个+补语
The structure (要+) verb + 就 + verb + 个 + complement
Explanation
This structure is used when someone wants to do something 'to the fullest', thoroughly, not half-heartedly. 要 can be omitted. 个 here is not a counting particle but a structural particle, helping to connect the verb with the complement that follows (usually a result/manner complement) to emphasize that the action reaches its maximum. For example: '要喝就喝个够' means if you want to drink then drink your fill.
