Perabo’s enthusiasm for working with Kim again and the excitement of filming in Korea for “Butterfly” demonstrate the strong camaraderie and mutual respect between the co-stars. The series premieres exclusively on Prime Video, offering audiences a glimpse into the creative synergy of the cast, including Perabo and Kim.
