The Butterfly

I could handle the sad ending, didn’t like it, but could have come to terms with it. The parts that I hated were the WTF doppelgänger and the bizarre final conversation with Sun Bo. The production values were the highest of the History series but for me they dropped the ball in the storytelling near the end.

Briefly but brings resolution to The Novelist.

I feel this way about most Jasper Liu dramas but I will watch almost anything to see him smile. :)

I agree. The acting and music were great but the storyline left something to be desired. And I did not like the ending. I haven’t rated it because I have a couple of episodes I need to go back and watch. I was thinking 7-7.5 just because I love the leads so much, but I get where your score comes from totally.

Jung Hae In is such a sweet puppy and it was a delightful ride following him and his friends exploring NYC and Niagara Falls. He and his friends shared a nice dynamic as they discovered new places and some new things about themselves. :)

A lovely, heartwarming drama. The biggest thing I would fix is the sweet male lead's suits. They were too big on him and made him look even younger. :)

She is the reason I’m struggling to finish this drama. I didn’t care for her performance in Tunnel either.

Love his voice. I’ve said for a long time I want him and Gong Yoo to record some poetry readings. :)

Trigger warnings for some folks-suicide, animal abuse, child beaten. My tags never showed up.

Thank you for posting! Looks like lots of good dramas in store for us. I need more hours in the day. :)

I can't think of any place less I'd rather be than feeling like someone's second choice or that I'm not worthy to be picked without the back and forth-both Mother's and Son's stories. I kept yelling at Jom, "run, boy, run!" and Kelly the same thing, "run, girl, run!"

Taew never smiled at Jom like she did everyone else and treated him like he was something stuck to the bottom of her shoe most of the time. I couldn't invest in this romance.

The son's story was much the same. He flaunts his other gf in front of Kelly and lets her know he's having trouble choosing between the two. Let me make that real easy for you buddy. When a guy is practically doing a coin toss to choose, that's not a sign of love and devotion. Girl get out of there!

I loved Mr Sunshine and Prison Playbook. I really liked When The Camellia Blooms, Live, and My Country. Netflix is the top place I watch dramas so I’m happy they keep adding more Kdramas. It’s a Cdrama but Eternal Love was my first Asian Drama and I watched it on Netflix. It’s what started this lovely addiction. :) Netflix is also where I’ve had access to Taiwanese and Thai dramas. Netflix may not be perfect but I’m thankful for it.

Timey-Wimey stuff makes my head hurt, but it was entertaining.

I’ve told my family from years ago, jokingly, I can get into heaven because I gave birth to a son. I’ve done all I need to do in this life. ;)

I was drawn to this because of Chris Wu. : ) This is about as far as I can go in horror. It wasn’t too scary and the story got stronger as it went along. I will be on board for S2.

I knew only a little about ghost brides so I appreciate the research you did for us. At the same time it’s disturbing to be reminded that women in a lot of cultures weren’t valued for much more than being servants and conduits of male heirs. :’(

Best satisfying twisted ending ever! :)

That's what I meant I was team Jiu Wang/Alan Yu all the way. I loved him and his buddy. The ML was too abusive for me. And I loved Crystal as well, she was convincing and entertaining as a man/woman. :) I watched it on YouTube. Not sure if it's still up on there. One of these days I'll go back to it if I can find it.

I had a different experience than the reviewer. The first two hours were mainly about a communication self-help class and the conversations afterward. I would rather have spent that time meditating with my face to a wall. The next hour and a half had some moments of interest. The last two+ hours almost made me lose the will to live. This should have been titled "Miserable Lives of Quiet Desperation". Maybe I wasn't in the mood for it, but this was not my cup of tea. It didn't help that the lighting and sound were awful. I'll stop. If you loved this movie, I apologize for my rant. Please skip over it.

I struggled with the first third of this movie but it slowly pulled me in. The last two thirds were sweet and fun and I stopped wanting to throttle Shi Fen. :)
