BUTTERFLIED LOVER - 8/10
This was a great short #cdrama. The story was quite unique. Loved how both couples were devoted to each other. I was a little confused with the last episode & didn’t like that it was up to audience to decide what that last episode was

Just finished "Butterflied Lover" 🌸 It is a short, very good drama. Some aspects of the plot are implied more than shown. That makes a nice change from dramas that are overstuffed. The ending was satisfying but slightly open.
The chemistry between the main couple and the second couple is very good, too.
The premise is slightly supernatural with a vampire-related twist but the main point is how people relate to each other.

When Commander Ling Chang Feng (Zhao Yi Qin) asked the town’s most popular candy shop owner, Tang Qian Yue (Lu Xiao Yu) to be his wife, he had no doubt the two would spend the rest of their lives happily married. Three years later, Chang Feng and Qian Yue are just as happy as they were on their wedding day. Unfortunately, fate has decided to throw them a most unexpected curve. Celebrating their three-year anniversary with a romantic riverboat excursion, Chang Feng and Qian Yue’s trip is cut short when their town falls under attack by a horde of “madmen”. As the most capable commander in Jin Sou Si, Chang Feng doesn’t think twice as he rushes back to the village to help fight off the attackers. Leaving Qian Yue on the river, Chang Feng is sure his wife will be safe but when he returns to the river he’s devastated to find that Qian Yue has fallen prey to one of the “madmen’s” attacks. Utterly devastated, Chang Feng carries his wounded wife home. Tending her wounds, Chang Feng is quick to realize that her unusual injuries have caused far more damage than he could have possibly imagined. With Qian Yue and the rest of the town’s injured quickly turning into vicious “madmen”, Chang Feng takes it upon himself to uncover the cause of this mysterious outbreak. Racing against time, can Chang Feng find the cause of this inexplicable outbreak, and even more importantly, can he find a cure? “Butterflied Lover” is a 2023 Chinese historical romance drama directed by Zeng Qing Jie.
So I've started watching "Provoke" with Zhao Yi Qin and Daisy Li 🌸 I am waiting for the next episode of "Butterflied Lover" and somehow slipped into this drama even though I'm sort following other dramas, too. Zeng Qing Jie is definitely a director to keep an eye on. The plot + atmosphere are good and chemistry of the main leads is on fire.

Have just begun watching "Butterflied Lover" 🌸 It is a short, limited series by the same director as "A Familiar Stranger" and it has the same intense atmosphere and poetically beautiful sets in a very analogue way. The main couple feels real and their situation tangible despite the supernatural premise. Chemistry is on point without being forced. Can definitely recommend!
