The Butterfly

Tell me about it. 😞

I’m a bloodthirsty butterfly and was hoping for a bigger body count.😆

Plus those vicious competitive ahjummas didn’t help. She wasn’t allowed to tell them to step off. Just be the chaste dutiful DIL widow. Honestly, I was hoping her MIL would bring the storm with no blades with blades on the Big Bad after what he did and almost let happen to her beloved son.

I thought at first maybe some of her inability to hide her emotions was because she was hidden away and wasn’t exposed to much but she also saw the seedy side of life at night when she was out knocking people around.

I did think the reason she never seemed to respond to his emotions was because she had been trained that there would never be the possibility of a relationship in the future and the ML was the naïve one who thought they could have something and couldn’t hold his emotions in.

You hit the nail on the head. His main job was to look adorable and smitten. 💕

Thank you. 🥰

I bet it was amazing to see on the big screen. I watched it on video years ago on a very small screen but didn’t remember much about it. Thank you 😊 🌸💕

That is much the way it was portrayed but everyone seemed to be unhappy. Loneliness was a major theme. I tried to write it without spoilers which limited my review. I’ve gone back and forth on the rating.

It's so frustrating receiving the "Not available in your region" message on different sites when you want to watch something.

Very sweet, but please go ahead and write yours if you want. I can't believe someone else watched this. There aren't many of us! 😄

I’ll keep my eye open for it.

After writing my review I can finally read yours. Insightful as always. ^^ Ugh Wen Ran. Girl worked on my last nerve and yet both Zhang and Long Bo were devoted to her.

It was a mystery. And will he try and help his GF avoid her appointment with Death?

I’ve only seen him in two things but he did an excellent job in both and has such a unique voice.

Put it in my PTW. Thanks!
Palace politics were lethal. I'd have ended up murdered for not being able to think and lie quickly enough and see all of the angles.

I was just reading about him and the chancellor. Gave me a headache. So much scheming.

Is he the same as XuanZong?

I suspected it was referencing real people only disguised. Been meaning to look them up to get some historical context for myself. Now I have names! Thank you! ^^ I was wondering if the chancellor held so much power that the emperor had to give him the job. The emperor was nitpicking the son while the chancellor seemed able to command various military forces and had the three judicial seals. I really came to mega-loathe him. The Crown Prince, on the other hand, didn't seem to have the proper conniving spirit the emperor was looking for or maybe he was just hiding it really well.

“Maybe it was the overuse of green screens but I caught him frequently out of the moment and staring blankly into space. “

Maybe he was trying to figure out the plot, too? 😁 Think I’ll skip this one.

Nicest way I knew to put it after the fourth time he was betrayed/fooled. 😆 I kept thinking he might have a plan but instead he was passively pulled along by the story.

Thank you. 🌸🥰

I really did! Wouldn't have found it without your help. ^^
