Butterflied Love (2023)

Only last episode confused me

Couples was living happily . Three years almost completed of their togetherness . On the day of their marriage anniversary , the male lead character came to know about butterflies clan and during that time he came to know that his wife was among them . He tried his best to save his wife but he can't . So only option had remained ....I don't want to be spoiler so would not write much .
The last part of second last episode when the bell rang she turned and smile. So as viewers we assumed that he came back .
In last episode was not continued with the last part of 19th episode .
It was shown that they were living happily and were doing all types of house chores . And in the end it had shown that she was sleeping and suddenly wake up and saw his husband with a doubt so it felt like that she was seeing a dream ,that means till now what had happened with her was not real . It was her dream. Last part confused me a lot.
In the drama time to time it had shown two couples that how they met ,then they married and they had a daughter . That small story I liked it.

Beautiful relationships, costumes, cinematography, music

Beautiful cinematography, outstanding OST, loving, romantic relationships (both main couple and secondary couple), and the shorter format makes it well edited and easy/fast to watch. In the latter half, the relationship between the big bad Marquis and his wife is surprisingly entertaining. There are also cameos from couples from the director's other short dramas, and now I have to go search for them. The voices of the main and secondary couples are also soft and lovely to listen to.

Highly recommended. I rarely watch any c-drama all the way through, but this drama was utterly charming and beautiful. The only downside was the lighting/makeup on very close kissing closeups.

As if in a dream.

This is the first drama I have watched in a long time. The initial premise caught my eye and as the drama went on, the resulting threads that spin off from this central betrayal kept my interest. That said, the main couple lost me around the sixteenth episode mark and the secondary couple kept me watching. Both of them fall into interesting and--rare (?)-- tropes.

The first couple is about a righteous general whose wife turns out to be a member of a demonic clan. However, if you are expecting a drama about contrasting principles or the struggle of incompatible lifestyles despite pure marital love, you won't find it here. It goes a slightly more mainstream route and the conflict is mostly about staying together in the face of outside evil. This is still executed well and the episodes that show how they got to their present state are the most captivating part of their love story. For example--the scene in which he buys her red-and-white flower shoes and puts them on for her is quite beautiful. The contrast between a civilized man and chaotic woman is played around with in a fun way during these episodes. Overall, they start off as a very innocent couple. This quality slowly goes away as they face more trials (you'll know what I mean when you see it) and hence I began skipping around on their scenes.

The second couple is about a princess who is forcibly married to her first love. She possesses Qilin blood, which makes her a coveted item throughout the series. It seems everyone in Chang'an wants her blood, including her villainous (or so you think) general hubby. These two kept me watching till the very end. The hook with them is a simplistic question about the morality of taking advantage of an innocent. But the drama manages to complicate this question with a few tragic backstories and watching the eventual romantic answer to this question is riveting. My favorite moment with them is definitely their first meeting, set during a magical night festival with the usual effects of sparklers, candied hawthorne, gold-tinseled booths, and lanterns.

Watch this if you are in the mood for an intense, whirlwind romantic drama. It will surely fulfill all your expectations in that case! I was lucky enough to pick this up at the exact right moment.

Best Short Lenght Chinese Drama!!!!

The story is brilliantly written, the action is on point, the OST is chef's kiss and it has a healthy main's relation and a happy ending, and that is precisely what I want in a drama, so it has everything to have a 10 «/10 in every point, but that finale stops me from that...

That finale seemed a bit rushed and I wanted one episode where they explored the Butterfly curse from the prespective of the ML and a episode where they explored the pain of the ML and FL separation instead of giving us two filler episodes before the finale where the ML returned seemilgy unafected by the butterfly curse...

That takes me a bit out of the finale and that is the only reason I don't give it a 10/10 on everything and can only give a 9/10

Love is a Willingness to Sacrifice

despite being the short length drama, this show truly proves that you can make a good story without missing anything. storywise, this drama is better than some of long-form dramas out there.

i’d give this a solid 10 if only they would make a clear ending for the last 2 eps and explain more about the situation. i’d like to see Chang Feng and Qian Yue hug for the last time, and she welcomes him with, “…you’re back.”

but of course, the scriptwriter and producer have their own ideas, though it’s still lacking for me and i wish it could be better like some of their previous works (A Familiar Stranger, for example).

i’m honestly not a fan of short length drama because they usually can’t captivate me with their story; either it’s too rush, too many plot holes, bad acting, poor cinematography, bad costumes, etc. but after watching this show, i feel like this drama is so much better than some of full length dramas i’ve seen with the traffic actors.

this drama hooked me since the very first episode. what i liked about this drama:
- ML and FL have a great chemistry. i love their eyes and how they love each other.
- good SML and SFL. well, SML was an anti-hero, but he slowly softened towards the SFL.
- good plot. it’s not extravagant or anything, but really a good one.
- when ML and FL cried, i cried. when SML and SFL cried, i cried too. it’s not happen often. i watched this drama after knowing the ending and getting so many spoilers, so because of that usually i wouldn’t cry when the sad scenes appear because i already know what will happen after. but in this one, i cried a lot and i’d give it applause to the actors! well done. especially SFL, i really love her and i can’t imagine what her life would be after knowing the truth in the end.

for a low budget production, this one have a beautiful cinematography, costumes, and settings. this is my most favorite short drama after A Familiar Stranger and The Deliberations of Love. i just wish they’d make a clearer ending like AFS and TDOL, but i guess i’ll just take it for what it is.

if you love those i mentioned, you’ll surely love this one as well.
