The Butterfly

Already put it in my NI list with a note to see your review if I’m tempted. 😁

“You cannot escape abuse, life be like: out of the frying pan into the fire.
Also abusers are not really bad people, they are REALLY DEEP INSIDE and you just have to apologize to them.
Even if you find someone that cares for you, they most likely care for someone else more.
There is no real female friendship if a guy is involved as a third party - only more trauma can bring you back together, communication is overrated.
Being ignorant about other people’s suffering will make your life easier.“

Oh, dear goodness no. Thanks for the warning!

Episode 3 is the worst of it. Not that it was light and fluffy afterwards, but I think that was the worst of the torture images.

The violence is front loaded in this drama. There was random violence afterward but not as intense as the first eps. The last episode ramps it up again.

Not great quality but it can be found here. The subs are barely visible and the movie is badly faded.

Thank you so much for your kind comments. I'm glad that Ryan Cheng was finally able to break through into "mainstream' dramas. He's earned it. I keep waiting for a drama where a vengeful FL or badass FL / assassin stays focused to the end and doesn't lose her abilities. Too often they become window dressing and leave everything up to the ML.

Currently on Hi-Yah! (Prime sub) and Tubi. May also be on Plex

The developing friendships were definitely the highlight. Everyone got something they needed. 😊

My thoughts exactly. I almost bailed at 8 but held on to the end. Tyvm 🦋💕🌸

Completely in a wild weird low budget way

Didn’t check the other sites listed but it’s also available on Prime.

I didn't care for it either. Her actions were too problematic and cancer is not a "get out of Jail free" card . For all the raves, I was underwhelmed.

Subs go back and forth from English to Cantonese (?) early in the film so I switched over to this one---

Has commercials but subs are better though the English disappears at times. :/

If you speak Vietnamese there is at least one subbed in it.

Fair warning, there are commercials at least every 5 minutes. :/
