What Butterfly's New Images Reveal About The Show

The Series Is Promising High-Octane Action

Given the thriller series will see him on the run...most of the characters involved are likely going to be crucial to his attempt at getting away from Caddis.

The spy drama TV show focuses on Kim's David, a former member of a US intelligence group who is secretly living in South Korea. While initially living a peaceful, secretive life, a decision from his past returns with a vengeance, forcing him to go on the run from the spy organization Caddis. The organization sends out an assassin, Hardesty's Rebecca, to kill him, forcing him to go on the run. However, images show both David and Rebecca together in a benevolent capacity, making it seem like all is not as the series' description reveals.

Other characters featured in the images seem to have important roles, especially Perabo, who appears to be a leader in some capacity. One image even seems to offer a glimpse at David's life in South Korea, holding hands with a woman who could be someone important to him. Given the thriller series will see him on the run, though, most of the characters involved are likely going to be crucial to his attempt at getting away from Caddis. What other high-octane events will unfold, however, remain to be seen.
