Meteor, Butterfly, Sword (2010)

I started watching this drama because I liked Baron Chen from Fights Break Sphere/Battle Through the Heaven.
The storyline of this drama is fairly unique and it took me a few episodes to understand what was going on.
This drama has some plot holes and some things that happened are less than credible.
However, what makes up for it is the commeraderie among the assassins. I really appreciate it that there is no love triangle or silly misunderstandings between lovers.
I really love Baron Chen’s character, Meng Xing Hun. He is the ultimate moody assassin who falls in love and is genuinely a nice guy.
The acting isn’t the best but all the characters are very watchable and not so two dimensional.
I would recommend this drama to those people who are bored with typical Chinese period dramas and want to watch something different.

Complex & Super Intriguing

Summary: if you are looking for comedy drama (as I was) don’t bother watching this in YouTube. Don’t start or else you’ll be hooked. I’ve watched so many recent dramas of 2020s, from Fuyao to Eternal Love and all the blahs.
Recent drama delights you with breathtaking sceneries and kungfu dance. This Meteor Butterfly story is all about the story. It’s an intriguing story that borders to horror at times. I couldn’t believe that recycled same-old setting can render me to watch this whole drama. That’s how good the plot is. Just when you thought you’ve watched it all, you realize the old dramas are more realistic, more compelling, more human. This was aired 2010 . Most dramas around this period are very realistically painful in most areas. Overall, it was a very good story.

Pro:
-Great Casts. Expressions are amazing! Not overly done. Just right. The enemy guy has a gentle look but can change into a psycho.
-pro. Realistic. Nowadays, people shy away from rape and even a bare-skin one. It was done professionally, not with malicious intent to lure people.
-great psychology. The words and the whole drama gives you is a glimpse of reality of assassins. Princess Agents drama is about assassins but less depth compared to this one.
- Great twist and turn. nicely done.

Cons:
- I’m saddened by all the killings but it shows you how it’s done when warlords were out in the open.
- some scenes are bluff. The kung fu master is too fantastical. Fantasy.
