Your favourite television network, 8TV is back with another drama for the Best of the East slot entitled Flaming Butterfly! Flaming Butterfly premiers on your TV screens starting 21st of May 2009, every Monday to Friday at 8.30pm.
Ms Lam Swee Kim, 8TV’s General Manager shares her view on this drama, “Here’s a heartwarming series about families, relationships and struggles,”
The series began with the conclusion of a court case, which ruled that Cheung Hock Yu, having been missing since his kidnapping three years ago, is legally dead. His wife, Fok Sum Yi, did not accept the ruling, and disappeared later that evening, leaving behind a letter with the lyrics of Old Black Joe written on it.
It was revealed that Fok Sum Yi came from a wealthy family that later lost all its wealth in a stock market crash. Sum Yi’s father commits suicide after losing his fortune and in order to support her siblings, Sum Yi became a television actress.
However, she endured many hardships and humiliation and never attained success in the field. She eventually reunites with her first love Cheung Hock Yu. Sum Yi and Hock Yu marry despite objections from Hock Yu’s family.
Through with and manipulation, Sum Yi was able to win the Cheung family over and climbed the corporate ladder to become one of the key figures in the Cheung’s family business.
While Sum Yi gained wealth and power, the romance between her and her husband faded, and she also made many enemies in the business world, which led to Hock Yu’s kidnapping.
Police caught the kidnapper and the kidnapper stated how Hock Yu attempted to escape with a gunshot wound and fell off a cliff. The police didn’t find Hock Yu’s body, but just his shirt with blood stains.
Sum Yi refuses to believe her husband is dead until a body is found. Eventually, rivals within the Cheung family had Hock Yu declared dead, so that his fortunes can be distributed. The Cheung family was happy that Sum Yi was left out of the will.
However, a provision in the will left Hock Yu’s entire fortune to Sum Yi, if she can prove she is wearing her wedding ring. Stunned to see Sum Yi still holding on to the ring as a necklace, she was able to inherited Hock Yu’s massive fortunes.
Just as she inherited the wealth, she disappeared from the Cheung residence, returns to her childhood playhouse to rediscover her childhood memories. She looked at the beautiful scenery and enjoys the peace. Suddenly she hears a knock. Shocked and stunned to see who was at the door, she cried.
To find out who is at SumYi’s door, be sure to catch Flaming Butterfly every Monday to Friday, starting 21st of May 2009 at 8.30pm only at 8TV. 8TV is also available at Astro’s Channel 708.

I love blue butterflies so thought I would ask to see if they had any symbolic meaning in folk lore & mythology.
