To everyone who loved the most exciting and beloved historical K-drama of the year, “Knight Flower,” we have great news! It’s becoming a webcomic! This is the perfect way to dive back into the story and relive all the feels and unforgettable moments from the show.
Why “Knight Flower” Is The Best Historical of 2024
If you’re searching for a good historical drama, look no further than “Knight Flower” starring Lee Ha Nee and Lee Jong Won. The show tells the story of Jo Yeo Hwa, a widow and daughter-in-law of one of the most prestigious noble families during the Joseon era. While she leads a quiet and secluded life during the day, she secretly ventures out at night to help those in need, creating a thrilling mix of mystery, action, and romance.
This drama is an investigative historical action-romance-comedy set in Joseon, offering a refreshing twist on the traditional sageuk genre. I loved how it combines many genres seamlessly which makes it so fun to watch since we’re so used to serious historical dramas. Even more noteworthy is its female-centered story, something we don’t often see in K-dramas with a sageuk setting. Lee Ha Nee’s character, Jo Yeo Hwa, is the epitome of a strong and independent woman. She’s not your typical damsel in distress—far from it! Instead, she takes control of her own destiny, solving problems and tackling challenges with her intelligence and courage.
In addition to its gripping plot, “Knight Flower” also delivers in the romance department. Despite a 9-year age gap between the leads, their chemistry is undeniable, proving that noona romances (older woman, younger man) can work beautifully on-screen. But don’t worry, romance is only one part of the drama—it’s not the main focus, so you’ll still get all the action, comedy, and historical intrigue you crave.
Beyond all this, “Knight Flower” became a sensation with its ratings climbing every week. It concluded with an impressive nationwide rating of 18.4% for its final episode, setting a new record as the highest-rated Friday–Saturday drama in MBC history. The series also brought home major accolades, with Lee Ha Nee winning the ‘Best Actress’ award at the prestigious Baeksang Arts Awards 2024.
