Actor Kim Ji-hoon took complete responsibility for the unfolding of his Hollywood debut, 'Butterfly,' with an intense presence that kept viewers captivated.
On the 29th (Friday) and 30th (Saturday), Kim Ji-hoon portrayed the cold-blooded and skilled killer 'Gun' (hereafter referred to as Gun) in episodes 3 and 4 of the Amazon Prime Video series 'Butterfly,' broadcast on tvN, chasing David Chung (Daniel Dae Kim) and elevating the tension of the story to its peak while showcasing his explosive presence.
In episode 3, Gun exuded a threatening charisma as he relentlessly chased David alongside the information organization Cadis. Finding David's aide Choi Young-sik (played by Park Hae-soo) in a flash, Gun eliminated him without hesitation in a 1:1 confrontation. Particularly, when Gun displayed his anger towards the provocative Young-sik, he revealed his cold-blooded nature and ruthless personality, sending chills down viewers' spines.
Afterward, Gun, having determined David's location, approached him like a predator stalking its prey. Gun's lines, 'David is mine,' and 'Do you know who I am?' hinted at a character intertwined with David through a complex past and emotions, surpassing the role of a mere killer. In the intense and brutal fight with David that ensued, Kim Ji-hoon fully showcased the speed, sharpness, and explosive power inherent in the character 'Gun.' His dedicated action and emotionally charged gaze heightened the tension to the extreme, providing viewers with an immersive experience where it was hard to even breathe.
However, as Gun aimed at David, he was ultimately shot and fell into the sea, creating an unpredictable turn of events. With curiosity about his fate growing, episode 4 brought a twist as Gun, presumed dead, made a reappearance. Gun's return indicated his robust vitality, anger, and madness, drawing more attention to the unfolding of upcoming events that would shake the plot.
In this way, Kim Ji-hoon consistently delivers an impeccable performance, solidly bearing a significant role in 'Butterfly.' He brought the character 'Gun' to life with a multidimensional portrayal, completing the role with a cold gaze, sharp speech, and overwhelming action.
All episodes are available on Amazon Prime, with new episodes airing every Friday and Saturday at 10:40 p.m. on tvN.
