Synopsis

After the funeral of an old friend, Dukchul Shim resolves to pursue something he had always wanted to try: ballet. Much to the surprise (and maybe~ horror) of his wife, children, and other acquaintances, this 70-year-old throws himself into following his heart and his passion. With the help of his young instructor Chaerok and others hoping for their own ambitions to take flight, Dukchul shows the importance and joy of pursuing one's dream... even in the face of hardships and our own mortality.

God.. Where do I start. This story is basically about a old man wanting to do ballet, Because he didn’t have the opportunity when he was younger. He goes to a small studio where he meets his future dance coach and a younger student, Unknowingly- They would become dancing best friends..


Honestly this story is so emotional— Not to the point of tears, But as the story starts to hit its climax. There are so many challenges for the old man, Not only his family but because of his old age. This definitely deserves a read.

The ending always gets me..

A very beautiful manhwa. It's already rare to see works featuring old main characters, but Like a butterfly does it so well.

Absolutely beautiful and inspirational. It is so rare to find stories like these.

An old man going against his society's and his family's bigoted values and started ballet to fulfill a fleeting passion from his youth. His honesty and dedication change everyone around him.

Many of us who read manga are young, but filled with no passion. We don't really have goals or dreams and wish to escape to a world of an anime. This manga makes you re-think your life as someone filled with passion has a body that cannot keep up.

Please read this story with your heart rather than on a 1 ...
