A Korean drama that depicts the double life of a woman in the Joseon Dynasty who works as a widow during the day and as a hero who helps the needy at night,“Knight Flower”.

"Joyeoha," who became the daughter-in-law of the "Jwa Ui Jeong" family, a high-ranking government official in the Joseon Dynasty, unfortunately lost her husband on her wedding day and became a widow. Joyeoha, who has been wearing a white mourning dress for 15 years, is an ordinary woman who spends her days doing housework as her mother-in-law tells her to. However, she has a secret. At night, she puts on black clothes and a black mask all over her body and goes out to help the needy. She is skilled in martial arts, able to climb over walls and jump freely on roofs. One day, while secretly fulfilling a request from a needy person as usual, Joyeoha meets a man.

"Park Sooho," who works for the "Geumwiyeong," an organization that protects the king and defends the capital city in the Joseon Dynasty, is a capable Jongsa-gwan who passed the exam with top scores because he is intelligent, but has one weakness: lack of flexibility. However, lack of flexibility did not really act as a weakness for him, who enforces the law. Park Sooho is a man who accidentally encounters Joyeoha in a black mask while secretly investigating, and he recognizes at a glance that the masked Joyeoha is a woman. After meeting Joyeoha a few more times, he also learns that she is actually the widow of the Jwa Ui Jeong family.

Actress Lee Ha-nui plays Joyeoha, the widow who secretly leads a double life. Lee Ha-nui is an actress who appeared in "Extreme Job" and "The Fiery Priest." She majored in Korean traditional music, so she is already familiar to Korean viewers in her hanbok. As an actress who has mainly done comedic acting, she is showing off her unique comedic acting in this drama "Knight Flower."

In the late Joseon Dynasty, women lived as widows after getting married if their husbands passed away first. Due to the strong Confucian ideology at the time, which required women to serve only one husband in their lifetime, remarriage was impossible, and they had to live with their in-laws for life. In this drama, the main character Joyeoha appears to be working under her mother-in-law as a widow for 15 long years. Through this drama, it seems like we can also learn about the lives of widows in the late Joseon Dynasty.

I am also curious to see how romance will bloom between Joyeoha, who is living two lives, breaking free from the mold of Joseon Dynasty women who should only be doing housework, and Park Sooho, who unconditionally follows the Joseon law.

The Korean drama "Knight Flower" airs on MBC every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 pm from January 12th. You can watch it on Wavve, Coupang Play, and KOCOWA+.
