The Butterfly

I watched the first episode and then saw where your article was up. You’ve given me the courage to keep going. I was starting to fear that it just going to be Hotel Busan instead of Train To. And you know how I feel about zombies. XD

Great job!

I was wondering if Youku was still airing them or if the dates were incorrect. I hope I remember to go back and add this in late January.

Just watched the season finale on Netflix. Primary details show 8 episodes. But the dates go to 2021. Anyone know why I can’t list this as completed?

I had just finished this movie and felt the need to rant. It didn't help that everyone was miserable and cheating. Such a depressing 5 hours. Maybe if I'd split it up and watched an hour a day it wouldn't have seemed so oppressive.

There wasn't a lot of plot, but I don't expect much from movies like this. The action scenes were exceptional and I cannot imagine the skill and choreography involved with the gang scenes and the one on one scenes. Donnie as always was amazing. :)

A Cdrama Xena remake is always at the top of my wish list. I've watched a bunch of sword wielding women but none that could match Xena in skill, character depth and not needing a man to rescue the day or step in.

Preach sister! So happy you finished it. Good job! ❤

No problem. Sorry again that I was so late in responding. If you watch it I hope you enjoy it. :)

Sorry I'm late in responding. It's been awhile since I watched it. Seems like it was 2/3 or 3/4's of the way through. It's built around him thinking that Eun Chan is a boy and how his feelings develop and how he fights those feelings. That's the biggest conflict at first. And then the conflict once he finds out the truth.

Almost documentary in nature the performances are so natural and relaxed. Definitely worth a try.

Happy to see Michelle Yeoh taking care of business in this. Entertaining movie. :)

Sometimes they pull it off and sometimes I pretend the characters they are playing are older as in TROP. Two actresses who really need to accept that they are grown ass women are Tiffany Tang and Park Min Young. Tiffany is 36 and still trying to play teenagers, no amount of bright pink lipstick or high pitched voice is going to convince me. PMY trying to play a character younger than actors 7-12 years younger than her IRL pulled me out of the story constantly in When the Weather is Fine (not even going to talk about those painful flashbacks). I agree some older actors can bring depth to a younger character but perhaps the answer is allowing for stories that focus on older characters. 30-40 year olds have hopes, dreams, and needs for romance as well but too often, especially for women, they are seen as odd if still unmarried or looking for a meaningful life. Just glancing at the feeds and drama pages is enough to tell me a lot of people don't really care if their favorite young actor can act or not as long as he is pretty doing it.

Fun, maybe overly posed kung fu movie. I liked the different styles portrayed and each of the main characters had some character development at least for a kung fu movie. ;)

Lo Lieh! Entertaining 90 minutes of sword-fights and story. :)

Mother got away with it. Kids suffered. System let the kids down and ultimately the grandparents. Dang. That was brutal.

Not bad. Billy is fun to watch. Prime had this rated R but there was no blood, boobs, or F-bombs or even death so I think that rating was incorrect.

Serious Brucesploitation, but a lot of good fights.

I've started having fun with it. I may or may not keep it this way, but if butterflies are in it, I'm adding as I watch. :)

That let me know he’s EVIL. I’m watching it right now too.

This is the bonkers kung fu movie where the ninjas attack wearing roller skates! Warning! There is an explicit sex scene thrown in inexplicably in the middle of this movie.
