Watch: Daniel Dae Kim stars in Korean-American thriller 'Butterfly'
A trailer released Monday shows David Jung (Kim) approaching his daughter Rebecca (Hardesty).
"You can't keep living this life," he says as the trailer begins. "At some point you start to lose yourself. That's why I came back for you."
Rebecca points a gun at David, recognizing the man she'd been assigned to kill as her father, whom she thought was dead.
"You let me grow up thinking that you'd been killed," she says as the preview continues.
He insists that his disappearance was for his young daughter's protection.
The series is based on Arash Amel's graphic novel series, and also stars Piper Perabo, Louis Landau, Kim Ji-hoon, Park Hae-soo, Kim Tae-hee, Charles Parnell, Sean Dulake, Nayoon Kim, Sung Dong-il and Lee Il-hwa.
"Butterfly is the realization of a longtime dream to bring together American and Korean storytellers and create a show that bridges two cultures that I love deeply. I couldn't be happier with the creative team we've assembled, both in front of and behind the camera," said Kim, who also executive produces, in a statement.

What to Know TODAY: 3 Scenarios Where It's Better to Sleep Than Work Out
A personal trainer outlines three scenarios where it might be better to get more sleep than hit the gym. Plus, experts weigh in on whether it's OK for parents to swear in front of their kids, and a wife, 38, opens up about her 64-year-old husband's reaction to the news that she's pregnant with their sixth child. Here's what to know for Tuesday, July 15, 2025. In Expert Tip of the Day, Start TODAY trainer Stephanie Mansour reveals three common scenarios when the benefits of sleep outweigh those of forcing yourself to hit the gym. Sign up for the This is TODAY newsletter to get the latest in news, pop culture, wellness and more from TODAY! Licensed psychotherapist Colette Brown remembers being 'shocked' and 'a little charmed' the first time she heard her then-10-year-old daughter blurt out the F-word. Her daughter defended it by telling her mother that Brown curses in front of her all the time. Celebrities like Kylie Kelce, Jenni 'JWoww' Farley and Charlize Theron have all shared that they will let the profanity fly in front of their children, but is that acceptable behavior? 'That's the skill I want my kids to have as they get older: not how to never swear but how to never swear at the wrong moment,' Dr. Deborah Gilboa tells Aundrea Griffin, 38, surprised her husband, Kenneth, 64, on camera with the news that they were expecting their sixth child, which prompted an odd response of 'congratulations,' like he was a friendly neighbor. 'Ken went from 'Oh, she's kidding,' to 'Oh, she's not kidding,' and to 'I still got it!'' Aundrea tells She also spoke about how she dealt with the response to her viral Instagram clip in which people noted the 26-year age gap between them and criticized the Texas couple for having children despite her husband's age.

Korean Media Leads Netflix Weekly Charts Again With ‘Kpop Demon Hunters' & ‘Squid Game'; ‘Sullivan's Crossing' Sparks Interest Ahead Of Season 3
Korean media is still taking Netflix by storm as KPop Demon Hunters and Squid Game led the service from July 7 to 13. The most-watched title on the platform last week, KPop Demon Hunters racked up 24.2M views to put it back atop the English films list. More from Deadline Bela Bajaria Is Cheerleading Netflix's "Breadth" Of Emmy Noms & First-Time Emmy Nominees 'Adolescence' Co-Creators Stephen Graham And Jack Thorne Considering New Story "Not About The Millers"; Graham's New Friendship With Springsteen Owen Cooper Says 'Adolescence' Got So Big, Jacob Elordi Roasted Him During 'Wuthering Heights' Shoot Meanwhile, Squid Game Season 3 topped the non-English TV charts with another 15.9M views. The third installment has managed 122.2M views since its release on June 27, already making it the third most popular non-English series on Netflix, behind only Seasons 1 and 2 of the Korean drama. Speaking of, both prior installments were also back on the weekly Top 10 list as well. It was quite a quiet week on the English TV side of things, with Season 2 of The Sandman taking the top spot. The episodes, which premiered on July 3, amassed 5.9M views in its first full week. This is a decline for the series, considering Season 1 finished its second week of availability with around 11.5M views. However, by the third week, the series was sitting at a similar benchmark. The Sandman is ending with Season 2, marking a solid run for the comic adaptation, which ahead of the second season became embroiled sexual assault and misconduct allegations against Neil Gaiman, who created the comic on which the series is based and developed and executive produces the Netflix series. Gaiman has denied the allegations. Kevin Williamson's The Waterfront stuck around in second place this week, and the CW drama Sullivan's Crossing took third. The Canadian series has, like many other series, found new life on Netflix after the first two seasons were made available on July 8. The series managed about 3M views last week, which is pretty strong given that the series is not available globally, only in the U.S. and Canada. Season 3 is currently airing on the CW, so it will be interesting to see whether this impacts its linear performance at all. The new season is set to land on Netflix in August. In the world of live events, Netflix aired yet another match up between professional boxers Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano on Friday. Data from VideoAmp, released by the streamer, said that about 6M viewers tuned in globally during the main event, though Netflix has the fight ranked at No. 5 with 2.8M views. The best explanation for this discrepancy is that the streamer uses total streaming time divided by runtime to report viewership, which does not effectively account for co-viewing. Co-viewing is incredibly common, especially for live events as audiences typically gather to watch together, so the VideoAmp data probably gives a better idea of just how many people were tuned in for this one. Notably missing from last week's Top 10 is Lena Dunham's latest comedy series Too Much. The 10-episode series starring Megan Stalter premiered on July 10, so it is still in its early days. Its absence from the rankings suggest it pulled in around or under 2M views in its first few days on Netflix, given that was the tally for No. 10's Ms. Rachel.
