Flor de caballero

After two or three a bit slow and sometimes boring episodes, the drama finds its pace and presents a rather intriguing and well-presented story line.

Yeo-hwa lives as a widow with her in-laws after her husband passed away on the day of the marriage before she even met him. She has to be obedient and cry at the shrine all day long, that's basically her life. Or it should be her life, but fortunately, this historical K-Drama gives us a strong and intelligent main character, as Yeo-hwa is skilled in martial arts and roams the streets at night to help the ones in need and fight for justice. Sooner or later, she has to face the law, because even Joseon has a police force. Luckily for us (and for Yeo-hwa), the law comes in form of the handsome sergeant Jong-won. After a while, they find themselves on the same side of a bigger story that revolves around the death of Jong-wons family, the disappearance of Yeo-hwas brother and a tragic incident in the king's past.

As I said, the series needs a few episodes before it becomes interesting. After that, it stands out as a balanced, nicely written historical drama. From all KDramas I have seen so far, "Knight Flower" is in the top of having well written characters. Normally, there are quite a few I find boring or annoying, they scream too much or are way to toxic or just stupid and silly, but in this series, everyone has their place, everyone feels well-developed and believable, even the villains are not just there to be villains. Most importantly, the main characters are smart and act accordingly, not rushing into things just to create drama and plot points. When they do, it's understandable and still fitting for their character.

The love story is slow, it works with gazes and carefully crafted scenes of quite affection that can be hotter than a full on make out session. The chemistry is tangible. Over the just 12 episodes, you find a nicely paced drama with an enjoyable cast, quite a bit of humour, an interesting plot and two refreshingly strong and independent main characters.

For the early episodes of this series I was unsure of its staying power. At times it only just managed to retain me into the following episode.

Then, almost without letting me in on the secret, it began to gain more traction. I guess that the plotting has taken its time to build up the sense of threat hanging over from events that had taken place 15 years earlier. And gradually the lead characters became more energised by their efforts to uncover the nasty shenanigans lurking behind the scenes. And so I became more engaged.

Even so, I was surprised by the extent to which the final episode's denouement gave me satisfaction. I found myself deeply engaged and smiling broadly.

It was also interesting to discover more of Joseon's social attitudes, which run so counter to modern sensibilities. This series highlights to taboo of widowhood, which was new to me.

Overall this is worth a watch. If you find early episodes underpowered then stick with it.

I haven't watched a kdrama which was this indulging since 2023. All the actors have done a great job. It's a hidden masterpiece. I loved it so much. The female characters are so strong and inspiring. The essence of kdrama that was missing I got it here. The action,the comedy the sweet little romance was just wow. The plot was interesting and the portrayal is just perfect. Even the side characters were best in the part. You'll feel sad and happiness. You'll laugh your heart out. You will crave for their sweet romance. Although it's not a total romantic genre but overall it's great. I highly recommend this drama.

A simple story with a recurring theme of the Joseon era and the difficulties of divorced and widowed women in life with a very weak romance flavor.

The actors are all great and it is also a comedy drama, but since the story is not original, the first 5 episodes are very boring. The show peaks from episodes 6 to 9 and becomes exciting, but then declines again in the last 3 episodes.

In addition, there is no skinship or kiss in this series, perhaps because of the 12-year age difference between the actors in the lead role. However, I did not get addicted to watching it because of its monotonous plot and I give it a 7 out of 10 points.

Korean Drama '' Knight Flower '' is a historical comedy with some political intrigue woven into it.

The drama has a strong female lead who captivates each scene and truly shines, especially when it comes to the comedy part. She was energetic, and funny, nailed her fighting scenes, and also handled her emotional scenes masterfully.

In addition, the drama had some nice twists that it handled nicely. The mystery was, moreover, intriguing and interesting.

On the other hand, the romance was weak, could have been omitted, but it had some sweet times between the two leads.

The performances, finally, were great by every actor and actress in the cast.

So, overall, seven out of ten.
