The Butterfly

Never forget so the atrocities of the past are not repeated and not accepted as business as usual today or any day.

This was sweet and uncomplicated. I enjoyed the music and of course the little sister. Too cute!

Not the best film ever made but an entertaining 2 hours. I second some of the comments that this would make a good drama. I would need Squirrel to come back for it as well. Always need more Lee Jun Ho. :)

Brutal and gut wrenching but we need movies like this and Silenced Some people are only educated and only learn empathy through the visual. Not just in SK but around the world segments of society do not receive justice and protection. I hope that as we become more vocal about injustice we can change the way things have always been done in regards to victims. And also that victims are believed instead of dismissed or vilified. Too often when the perpetrators are wealthy the courts worry more about their futures than the victims. I am sickened that the girls involved IRL did not receive justice Sadly, they are not alone. We are 51% of the population and our voices must be heard and respected.

I’m not a fan of body swap movies but I found this one entertaining. It rested on the shoulders of Jung Jin Young and he did an admirable job of playing the older gangster. It wasn’t a life changing movie but it was fun. :)

At times ridiculous and silly, but the most fun I've had watching a Korean film. Nothing too deep just goodish guys and bad guys and a whole lot of swashbuckling! Avast!

The cast was good but I never got over the FL being arrogant and incompetent in her first scene. Ruined her character for me.

Thank you for this article! I’ve really been enjoying this drama. I will be sad to see it end.

I was not expecting to like this movie, but sat here and cried off and on. It was a heart-breaking and funny tale of growth and love.

This movie made this cranky old butterfly cry. Simple and heart warming. One of the better Korean movies I’ve watched. It doesn’t have the sweeping cinematography or OST than some do but I found the story emotionally compelling.

Beautifully shot, interesting subject matter but I never connected emotionally with the characters.

I wasn't super encouraged from the synopsis on Netflix and on MDL, but gave it a try anyway. I was pleasantly surprised at how the story, and emotional growth and healing took place.

I went into this movie with low expectations but was pleasantly surprised at how heart warming it was. Mark Chou as always does a superb job :)

The Oscars still have a ways to go to opening their minds and recognizing their biases. Not sure how a film that’s good enough for directing, screenplay, and best film nominations garners not one acting nomination. That’s a rare accomplishment and snub.

I am pleased with the categories it’s nominated in and hope it brings deserved attention to and respect for Asian films.

Sweet, predictable story. On Netflix now.

Has a nice little twist that kept it from being the standard quo.

Visually stunning but I found it boring.

You beautifully and perfectly summed up why I loved this drama. Thank you for this ode to Nokdu. ♡

I really enjoyed Be Melodramatic and WWW. I’m squeamish so will probably skip Strangers From Hell. I have Fiery Priest and Sky Castle in my PTW and now need to add Confession. :)

I’ve liked several 2019 dramas. the Tale of Nokdu and When the Camellia Blooms would certainly be in the top 5.

Thanks for the article!!!

Thanks for your review. :) I have been curious about this drama. Hard to fill 32 episodes in this genre.
