The cat is out of the bag. Our officer has figured out our heroine’s dual identity. And he is having the time of his life teasing her about it.
Still, no matter how dangerous it is, our leading lady isn’t one to look away from people in need.

Knight Flower Episodes 3 and 4 Highlights
“I believe I told you to stay out of my sight.”
Soo-ho drops Yeo-hwa as a hot potato. Then, they part ways after Yeo-hwa turns down Soo-ho’s offer to accompany her to the temple. You see, how uncomfortable this mourning widow might feel if people spot her with a man.
They meet again at the capital defense, no less, when Yeo-hwa goes to return the tiger painting. Yeo-hwa and Soo-ho engage in a brief fight where Yeo-hwa holds her own against him. Well. That is until the ribbon on Soo-ho’s shirt gets accidentally cut off, and his abs shine through. (No one can blame Yeo-hwa for being unable to get Soo-ho’s abs off her mind, right?)
“You have the most courageous daughter-in-law. She showed with her actions how she was willing to put herself in danger to save a feeble old lady.”
Soo-ho is tasked with guarding some noblewomen handing out relief rice. And wouldn’t you know it? Yeo-hwa and her mother-in-law are present. Yeo-hwa tries to maintain the noblewoman’s decorum. But she can’t turn a blind eye to an old granny looking for her missing granddaughter. Noticing the granny’s house almost collapse, Yeo-hwa steps in as a human shield to save her. With some help from Soo-ho, the two of them make it through, while Soo-ho sustains some bruises.
At night, Yeo-hwa dons her mask to drop off some rice to the granny, where she learns about the multiple missing children cases taking place in that town. Sooner than expected, she comes face to face with the culprits. It looks like we have a human trafficking gang here, led by Kang Pil-jik, the owner of the inn from before.
“I wondered who you could be to act so brazenly around an officer.”
Yeo-hwa suggests the men take her and leave the granny and her granddaughter. But they have no interest in taking her but the girl. Luckily, Soo-ho (who happens to be there and rushes over once he hears of a masked person distributing rice) jumps to rescue. It is funny how the two bicker over who the men would take and smoothly shift to teamwork mode and take on the men.
By this time, Soo-ho is pretty sure the mourning widow, the woman from the inn, and this legendary do-gooder are the same person. Instead of explicitly saying it, he has a whale of time teasing Yeo-hwa about it.
“We need someone to help us with the aftermath. More than anything, someone dependable who can take on Kang Pil-jik.”
Yeo-hwa resolves to investigate the missing children. But that is on a different scale from what she did before. Hence, a need for a dependable person who can take on Pil-jik. There is someone who perfectly fits the bill, though. The catch: he is too uptight and refuses to join hands with someone in a mask.
Going by the book, Soo-ho has Pil-jik arrested on the suspicions of kidnapping children and selling them off. Yet he can only keep Pil-jik in custody for a day before he is forced by higher-ups to let Pil-jik go. Pil-jik even has the nerve to blame it all on the masked person whom the police have failed to catch.
Hearing that, Yeo-hwa takes matters into her own hands, cross-dressing as a man and searching for the place where the children are confined. Her plan fails, but she goes once again to check. Hot on her heels is Soo-ho, who scolds her for meddling in a government affair but might as well join her.
Knight Flower Episodes 3 and 4 Musings
The show continues to be a blast. And at the heart of it is Yeo-hwa, our selfless leading lady with a heart of gold. Even if it means jumping willingly into the fire, Yeo-hwa won’t turn her back on someone needing help.
Three years after she got widowed, Yeo-hwa made up her mind to run away. But coming across a poor girl, young Yeon-sun, on the street, Yeo-hwa scratches that plan since she could neither abandon Yeon-sun nor run away with her. Yeo-hwa also taught Yeon-sun how to read and write to provide for herself in case she wasn’t around. If I wasn’t already rooting for Yeo-hwa, this back story is enough to make me team Yeo-hwa.
It comes as no surprise that the one behind Pil-jik turned out to be Yeo-hwa’s father-in-law, left state councilor Seok Ji-sung. Seok and Pil-jik seem to be involved in something that happened 15 years ago, which resulted in Soo-ho’s birth parents’ death and Yeo-hwa’s brother going missing. Yeo-hwa’s husband’s death might have been collateral damage to whatever happened back then.
Aside from the palace politics, I am enjoying the brewing side romance of Yoon-hak and Yeon-sun. They have met a couple of times and finally exchanged names. Since Yeon-sun is a commoner and not Yeo-hwa’s slave, she can easily leave and get married. But the thought of Yeo-hwa not being able to visit freely makes Yeon-sun feel bad about leaving her side. Can’t Joseon widows gain some freedom?
Enjoy the adventurous life of Yeo-hwa and Soo-ho in Knight Flower.
