Butterfly (2025 series): Trailer, certificate and where to watch
Daniel Dae Kim stars in a Korean-set spy thriller series
Year: 2025
Certificate: 15
After faking his own death, former US operative David Jung (Daniel Dae Kim of Lost fame) is living a life under the radar in South Korea. But when his cover is blown, Jung is forced to go on the run with his estranged daughter Rebecca (Reina Hardesty), who just happens to also be a highly trained assassin. Patching things up, the pair realise that they're going to have to bring down agency boss Juno (Piper Perabo) before her army of deadly minions catches up with them.
Told across six episodes, this slick and stylish spy adventure story makes excellent use of its Korean locations - from neon-drenched streets to traditional sites as Kim and Hardesty duck, dive, fight and spy their way to freedom. Both are excellent here, showcasing a likeably sardonic father-daughter chemistry as the endangered spies, while Perabo shows a surprising gift for scenery-chewing villainy as Juno. (Six episodes)
