The Butterfly

Manhole would probably not work well with my claustrophobia.

I don't add Tubi or other legal sites to the page mainly because you never know how long they will be available. Too many times I've been disappointed to find that it's not still available on Tubi or Prime. That's why in the comments I say, it's currently available on "". Because I don't use illegal sites, it can be a challenge to find the dramas/films everyone is talking about. And like ASC above it might take several years!

The films I mentioned are leaving soon. I just finished Joint Security Service. It's older but worth a look too and is leaving soon. I'd hoped to start a drama tomorrow, but looks like I'll be watching a few Tubi movies thanks to you. I love a good excuse to watch movies!😊

If you haven't seen them---The Man from Nowhere and 13 Assassins are good. 2046 is worth a look. Chocolate isn't a great film, but Jeeja's fighting was insanely good. Thanks for the heads up!!

Do you have a link to the leaving soon Asian content?

If she doesn’t pay attention to him it’s bad, if she does it’s bad. Women are judged regardless.

It was not a love interest age gap, the gossips talked about JH and Gyeom being close in age and thus suspect. 17 years didn’t seem close in age to me. Regardless, ASC didn’t go Jdrama and have the Stepmother and stepson have a sexual relationship.

The only legal site I could find this on was Prime. Had to rent it there.

It’s currently on Tubi and Prime.

That’s the only legal site that I could find it on. YT has some Naruse films on it but I didn’t see this one there. Might be available on alternative sites. You might check Internet Archive.

Thanks for the great review! Might watch a 90 minute movie on this but not 17 eps.

It’s in my PTW. Going by your review, it sounds like a good one!

Sounds like one I might try. Thanks for the link!

Very true! 🏆

I try to make sure anything triggering is noted. No twigs and berries showed—-thankfully. 😆

He did look particularly fine in this film even if he didn't look like he was in his 20s. 😏

Pretty much. The number of coincidences and sheer luck was astonishing. Poor
Chen Kun’s face just got bloodier and more beaten as the film went along. Apparently Fate was trying to beat some sense into his character.

So many dramas start out with an intriguing premise but lack commitment and falter on the back half.

Currently available on Tubi

Currently available on Prime and the Criterion Channel (Subscription)

Excellent! Thanks for the review!
