The Butterfly

"let's randomly bring more people into the mix while running around doing tasks that don't have a meaning."
My exact thoughts when watching this.

I read about it, too. Outrageous and devastating. Like you, I hope it sparked change as well. Too often victims are blamed and punished instead of the true perpetrators.

I almost couldn't go any further. Guess China doesn't have the equivalent of PETA or protection rules for animals. One of the hardest parts of watching Cdramas is the abuse horses take and how so many of them are in very poor shape.

I'm half way through and it feels like dog years. I love the leads, but I have had the same problems you have thus far.

I’ve seen Late Spring and Seven Samurai. Loved the dad’s advice to his daughter in LS. :)

Yes, please!

That makes as much sense as anything. Thanks! :)

I thought she took the super strength medicine after she knew she only had a few days to live because it would shorten the person’s life?

For the mains-sad

Were they both poisoned at the palace or how did they both come down with the same illness?

Eternal Love (TMOPB) was my first Asian drama and the only reason I'm watching them today. I loved it and watched it a couple of times before I was able to move on. I also enjoyed Pillow Book and both Eternal Loves. I also watched Love and Destiny which is a kissing cousin of Eternal Love. Wasn't as crazy about it even though I loved the actors. The only one I haven't seen is the Kris Wu one. Thanks for the article! These dramas don't get a lot of love on the feeds so I'm always happy to see others who enjoyed them like I did. :)

Currently on Amazon Prime in my region.

After watching it I could go back and read your article fully. You were spot on about everything. I’m glad I persevered past the first bloody episode. :)

I closed my eyes, too...I'll do my best :)

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.
