Butterfly

I sat through all six episodes in one shot. The start was good and the reunion of father and daughter...all of that was fine, but many of the relationships among other characters were shallow. I didn't believe the in-laws at all, the son's pain was almost casual. Many of the escapes were too easy and there was a little too much martial arts fighting towards the end. The very ending was either just not good or is begging to be a cliffhanger, but I am not convinced that it makes any logical sense at all.

I love DDK. He's a pretty straight forward actor. The young lady who plays Rebecca did a fine job. Don't let the Chloe Bennett fanboys fool ya. The action could've been better but it was pretty good. The only reason this isn't a 10 is because of the sound mixing and that ending was a doozy. Plus I would've loved more episodes.

Daniel saw kim is my eomma favorite actor so we binged watched the series All Korean actors did great it had amazing action scenes but felt like it was little all over the place it took long to get to from point A to Point B at times and the ending was a flop. Could have done better with it I think.

Honestly I didn't have too high expectations going in. But it turned out better than expected.

A little slow at times but. Most of the actors did a good job. The reason I was hesitant, was because of Piper Perabo. Don't care much for her at all. So I kinda tried to ignore the scenes she was in 😅 Also glad that the guy playing her son was really weak character/actor. They could've done a better casting on him.

So to summarize all in all it was watchable and somewhat entertaining.

This East-meets-West spy thriller looks gorgeous and delivers good storytelling! Daniel Dae Kim & the Korean cast (Kim Tae-hee, Park Hae-soo, Kim Ji-hoon) absolutely shine with authentic performances. Production values are a standout, considering the writing swings from, good-to-average, throughout the series.

BUT... the action is painfully slow, gunshots sound like toy cap guns, pacing drags, ending flops hard, and some non-Korean actors (looking at you, Piper Perabo) deliver lines like yesterday's toast, with the writers repeating the same lines, over and over -

"That's David! That's David! That's David!"

**6/10** - Worth watching for the story & standout performances, but weak action keeps it grounded. Could've been an 8-9 with better choreography, less plot holes, better writing!
