CHARACTERS AND BACKGROUND THAT APPEAR IN THIS DRAMA
IT HAS NO RELATIONSHIP WITH HISTORICAL FACTS AND IS JUST FICTION
THE LATE SEOK JUNG
You never even came to my dreams.
What brings you to look for me?
Mrs!
You should go to the temple now!
Good grief.
Mother, I've...
What's this?
Isn't that a hand fan?
You think I'm asking because I don't know?
How can a man's fan be in a temple?
I don't know, Mother.
Okay.
If you don't know,
I have to find out who dared to put this despicable thing...
...in this temple.
- Madam Bong Mal. - Yes, ma'am.
Call all the helpers and find the owner of this fan!
He must be found even if by force!
Don't!
What did you just say?
Actually...
Impossible.
Actually...
Do you...
Actually it's...
I hid it.
What are you doing?
How dare you interfere!
Yeon Sun, wait outside.
Madam, I have committed a grave sin!
Mrs. Yoo, Madam is innocent.
That fan...
...I hid it.
If you lie to me with your tongue you will come out with regret.
Say! Who owns this fan?
Not long ago, I was traveling alone on a mountain road...
...and almost got into trouble after encountering a mugger.
The other helpers run away...
...and the robbers pointed their swords at me.
"Hand over the rice or you will get hurt."
Step by step.
I could only stay silent because I was afraid.
I screamed for help.
At that time.
Stop!
A man came to save me.
He dropped his hand fan...
...then quickly disappeared.
So, you don't know who?
Do you want to be chased away so you open your mouth?
He's the Royal Secretary.
You mean...
the second son of Scholar Park?
Correct.
That's why I didn't dare return it.
It is also impossible to throw away.
Oh it's like that.
Hurry up and get ready.
- What? - Anyway, you are our family.
You should at least thank him in person.
Follow me.
- Good grief. - Good grief.
KNIGHT FLOWER EPISODE 8: A FATE THAT'S LIKE A COINCIDENCE
The Chief Eunuch had met with the eunuch on guard at that time.
That evening, the wife of the Minister of Finance directly...
...brought tea to my father.
So,
is this really what he did?
Even though he has been beside Mother for a long time,
he was a simple person who never asked for anything.
But, why did he do that?
Did he do it alone?
Even 15 years ago, he was a person who freely entered and exited the palace.
Maybe since then he has been in a relationship with the Left State Councilor.
After the poisonous flower petals reappeared,
Advisor Seok will definitely try his best to eliminate this problem.
So that the truth is not buried again,
I will ask my sister to keep an eye on the Minister of Finance's wife.
Why don't you close your stall?
They say I'm dead, you can still see me?
Hey.
You don't look like a ghost.
Chief Merchant, you know everything about Hanyang.
They said Hanyang rumors flowed through the Myungdo Inn.
Say it.
Do you know the widow in Councilor Seok's family?
I don't know.
- Just now you said you know everything... - Head Trader!
I came with him.
Welcome.
We've been seeing each other often lately.
- I heard there's something urgent. - Let's talk inside.
- I have a question. - I don't know.
What is my question?
You don't even know my question!
Do you know anything about the Finance Minister's wife?
Yes. And quite surprised me.
- What's that? - Did you forget I'm a trader?
This is something money can't buy.
What do you want?
Will you promise to grant me anything I wish?
I'll grant it as long as it doesn't break the law.
I assume you've promised.
There was a child who was secretly born to the Minister of Finance's wife.
That person...
...is Kang Pil Jik.
He threw it away? Why?
At that time, the Finance Minister's wife's mother was a grieving widow.
A widow gave birth to a child, so it wouldn't be strange if she killed him.
They are brothers and sisters.
Kang Pil Jik becomes a top-level leader and expands his power.
At the same time, Yeom Heung Jib who doesn't have anything special...
...became Minister of Finance and did all kinds of dirty things.
There was no way his wife didn't know anything.
Thank You. This is very helpful.
Why did you forbid me from telling this to Madam?
This is much more dangerous than I thought. It's better if he doesn't know.
Worried about it again.
This is my right decision as a Capital Defense officer.
Now I will convey my wish.
I hope you don't see Madame again.
What now?
All this because of you.
Yeon Sun is in danger because she was the one protecting me, not you!
If something happens to him,
You can say goodbye at your death anniversary ceremony.
What a coincidence, we were about to meet you.
Meet me?
He is one of my helpers. Do you know him?
I know him.
It seems you abandoned your fan after saving him...
...from the robbers.
We came to say thank you and return your fan.
That's right, this...
...my hand fan.
No wonder I looked for it.
Apparently it disappeared when I helped the girl.
Thank You. I will never forget your kindness to my family.
And also,
don't worry if the Royal Secretary is from a dignified family,
rumored to have close ties with commoners like him.
I make sure something like this doesn't happen again.
There is no rule that prohibits humans from helping other humans...
...or worrying about another human being.
If something dangerous happens to him again,
I will help him again.
I'm sorry to make you come straight away...
- ...to return this fan. - No problem.
- Then, we'll say goodbye. - Be careful.
Come on.
Yeon Sun.
Royal Secretary?
I've been curious since the last time we were in the forest.
How do you know each other?
That is not important. What now?
This time we can handle it, but if caught red-handed again,
we will both die.
No need to worry.
No matter what happens, I will not let you die.
Why take it seriously?
I'll be serious too.
I will die if Madam dies.
Take back your words. Who will die?
We will not die. Never.
Mrs.
So, he said the fan was his?
Why?
That...
We have to go to the temple.
What did you say?
Why with Park Soo Ho?
He was taken to Scholar Park's house in a seriously injured condition.
It happened...
...when 15 years ago.
When exactly?
That was when the previous king died.
What?
He's not that kid, is he?
Impossible. There's no way Im Kang's son is still alive.
I found it.
Let's go.
What should we do?
Park Soo Ho obviously doesn't know us.
He couldn't possibly be that calm seeing the enemy who killed his parents.
First, we need to make sure.
I hope you don't see Mrs. Cho again.
I'll make sure he doesn't get involved in anything dangerous.
I ask that you act as if you don't know him.
How could that be? I know him very well.
You asked him to stay away from danger.
Do you know what kind of wounds arise because of those words?
You want him to slowly die and wither from behind the fence?
Or...
...you want to pull him out so he can have a life?
You can't do anything for him.
What should I do?
Yeon Sun.
Where is he? Yeon Sun!
- What are you doing here? - Good grief.
I want to go to the main house to meet Mom.
Mrs Yoo went with Miss Jae Yi since morning.
Is it true?
Instead of coming with Mom, what are you doing here?
Have you seen Yeon Sun?
Mrs Yoo asked me to replace Yeon Sun to stick to you and look after you.
What?
What is it?
- Is Mrs. Yoo in there? - He is going out.
- There is a message from Madam Minister of Finance. - Message?
Madam wants to see you. How?
Why ask? I have to hurry, Mrs. Oh is waiting.
Wait. I'll get ready.
Wait.
Where are you going without permission?
Didn't you hear? Mrs. Oh wants to see me.
You must get permission first.
If I decline Mrs. Oh's invitation to accompany her,
he will be very angry.
If he is angry, the Queen Mother will know. If the Queen Mother knew...
Good grief. Okay.
Let. I'll take you.
Uncle, I'm coming.
You...
Hey, wait!
- Why run away? - Don't follow me.
High-ranking Royal Secretaries should not greet me on the street.
Stop!
You need to explain what happened yesterday.
- Madam. - Ya.
I ordered the most expensive one.
Good.
Good grief.
My goodness.
What are you doing?
You must have considered it,
but this is very cheap to compensate for yesterday's incident.
That...
Correct.
About yesterday...
thank you for helping me.
And sorry for causing a misunderstanding.
I was the one who created the misunderstanding this time.
Do you like my sister?
What? What does that mean?
Then why do you have my sister's fan?
That fan belonged to a Capital Defense Officer?
I gave it as a birthday gift.
Apparently you don't know the real owner.
Actually, that's...
Well then, the person who brought my sister's fan,
not you.
It could be the person you're hiding from,
is the same person my sister was hiding from.
What?
I wonder who that person is.
Don't be curious. Please.
- Can't. - All right.
I said I'd look for your brother, didn't I?
Did you find anything?
It seems your brother is involved in some secret matter...
...which no one can know.
What does it mean?
Sorry, I can't tell you any further.
Please tell me a little more.
I promise I won't tell anyone.
I haven't gotten anything for 15 years.
I need to know if that could be a clue...
...to find my brother.
Once upon a time,
on the day when the previous king died...
... in the capital...
...many strange and scary things happen.
The King's Chief Guard and his family were killed,
and some of the soldiers disappeared,
and I heard that one of them received a secret order from the previous king.
What does that mean, my brother is one of them?
What order did he get,
until he didn't tell his family, and there's no news until now?
Since no one knows about this,
it may be very difficult to search...
...regarding your brother's whereabouts.
Then what should I do?
Who else knows about it?
What is the Queen Mother? Or Your Highness?
They...
...don't even know about the disappearance of the soldiers.
Then who exactly...
At the time...
...the person who cleared up the chaotic situation was...
...Left National Advisor.
Dad...
...my father-in-law?
Dad said clearly that he was looking for my brother.
He loves you more than anyone,
Of course,
he tried hard to find it.
However,
even though he knew about everything that happened,
he had his duties as the Left State Advisor.
Isn't there a reason why he didn't tell you?
Correct.
Sorry for causing you trouble.
I'll take my leave.
- This is all I know... - No.
Madam has been very helpful.
Thank You.
Would this be enough to bother the elder?
BOOK RENTAL SHOP
You mean, I have to protect the Finance Minister's wife?
What other effective way to make someone shut up?
The truth about this case...
...can't disappear with the death of the wife.
So you mean,
those who tried to hurt his wife...
...was the mastermind behind the assassination of the previous king...
...and everything that caused my parents' death?
Correct.
At least,
until they can find the missing soldier with the secret order of the previous king,
we have to protect the Finance Minister's wife.
Good.
Because this is His Majesty's order,
don't make mistakes.
I understand.
- He said he would come today. - What...
But this...
Are you feeling better?
After breathing the fresh air and seeing the people,
I feel better.
While we're here,
should we buy rice cakes?
You remember my brother again, right?
The more I thought about it, the angrier I became.
Why does he always put other people's things...
...at my sister's altar?
Are you going to just leave it like that?
I want to stop talking about that.
It feels very difficult to see Park Soo Ho.
Where is he, and what is he doing?
Is he conducting a secret investigation...
...to make a name for himself?
Hey, how could he possibly be conducting a secret investigation?
Maybe he's in love?
- Fall in love? - Fall in love?
Every time he drinks alcohol,
he would say, "I wonder what kind of person he is."
It turns out the rumors of him dating were true.
- Where is Nona Yi Kyung? - Nona Yi Kyung?
Not Nona Yi Kyung,
but someone else.
- Others. - It's crazy.
If it's Officer Park Soo Ho...
...not bad either.
My goodness.
Let's have a look.
And this...
Good grief.
Gosh, how can I escape from it?
It's really delicious!
Did I say, cute, right?
Senior, there is still a lot, eat more.
Please give me five more.
Good.
No need,
just this one is enough for me.
Do you think this is just an ordinary rice cake?
This is a bribe to get you to help me later!
In that case...
...can I take the five home?
At home there is my mother,
he is not well.
Excuse me, ten...
- No, please pack 20 pieces! - Good.
My mother too,
really like the rice cakes I bought.
Your mother?
She's very graceful,
and also beautiful.
If I call her 'Mom',
he always comes radiantly.
Like that.
Mother...
Mom!
I have urgent business, I'll say goodbye!
Junior!
That...
This doesn't seem to be my taste.
Madam, we have to hurry.
Young Master?
Good grief.
Mrs,
wait.
Please wait here.
What's wrong mom?
Good grief.
Is Mom okay?
Where...
- I'm here... - Madam Bong Mal.
What are you doing here?
That... So that's...
That...
Just been out for a while, but I lost Mrs. Cho.
Mrs!
What happened?
Why?
Mrs.
- Come on. - Look.
MYUNGDO ACCOMMODATION
Good grief!
Are you alright?
What's this?
Oh my, my hair!
- What is wrong with you? - Hair, my hair!
- Your hair! - Good grief!
Ouch.
What is wrong with you?
My goodness.
Excuse me. I apologize.
How beautiful.
What else is this?
Is he sick?
Mrs!
Oh.
You apparently.
Do you know where the Chief Merchant is?
The Chief Merchant has already left.
Is that so?
There are strange people here.
He is Mr. Ju who has just started his business.
Oh, he's the rumored guy.
Let me introduce myself...
Tell the Head Merchant that I'll be back.
Be careful, he looks very sick.
Good.
I want to introduce myself properly.
Where are you going?
Tell me your name!
Junior, how dare you ask a madam for her name?
Senior!
Who he really is?
He is the son-in-law of the Left State Adviser.
Advisor...
On...
My wife?
Are you really sick?
I can't meet the Chief Merchant,
even that crazy person...
My goodness.
Why are you walking alone during the day?
Do you fight in those clothes too?
I almost did.
Hair here...
What's with your hair there?
No, not there...
That...
It looked like it had been grabbed during a fight.
Good grief.
I'd rather hold a sword than pull my hair.
Why did you call me?
Oh yes.
What about the case of the Minister of Finance?
Is that why you called me?
I told you not to interfere.
I was going to do that.
But recent remarks from the wife of the Minister of Finance...
No.
What's that?
Because he looks like he deliberately told me...
No.
You told me to leave the investigation to you.
What did his wife say?
What does a woman like me know?
Lately, the Minister of Finance's wife often calls and talks to me.
I'm sure what he said will be useful to you.
True, right?
My goal is that you don't get involved with anything dangerous...
...do not change.
I think you should keep your distance from him.
Is being with the Finance Minister's wife a dangerous thing?
Is he the real perpetrator?
No.
That...
If you don't tell me in detail what happened,
I can't say anything else.
Please think about it.
Actually...
Actually what should I do?
My goodness.
I wonder what the Left State Councilor's son-in-law will do.
Why do you do that?
You can start a new life in Qing,
but why do you keep making the problem bigger?
When the Elder is very angry,
do you think he will let us free?
Why?
Are you afraid of death?
To hide one thing,
in the end you have to hide hundreds of other things,
so everything remains under control.
But,
after living with hundreds of things hidden,
I can no longer remember...
...what secrets should I really keep.
Now is not the time to act like that.
What is that one thing,
is that you...
...my mother's child who was born secretly?
Or...
...that I...
...kill that abusive, monster-like husband?
Or if not that too,
is it the fact that I was the one who killed the previous king?
Are you crazy?
Gosh, I...
...have suffered a lot just to keep those secrets.
My wife.
No, you just sleep.
I heard you fainted on the street.
What happened?
It's nothing.
My wife,
please tell me why are you like this?
That...
Because Jung...
Do you remember Jung again?
Jung...
I really miss him.
I miss him too.
However,
sadness makes your body sick.
Jung also didn't want his mother to have trouble.
We should let him marry the woman he loves.
No.
I shouldn't have sent him to the Qing Dynasty.
Good grief.
If I knew that would be the last time I saw him,
on the last morning he left home,
I will cook his favorite soup.
Your fatigue makes your body weaker.
So that tomorrow you recover...
Sir!
Can't Jung's search be done again?
Even if only his body is found in the end, I will have no regrets.
There was no way he would die unnaturally on the mountain.
Maybe...
...at another place...
- He could have lived a life... - My wife!
Don't you also know I've checked it many times?
When I walked in Unjong-ga today,
I saw a person who was very similar to Jung.
His shoulders, his back,
even the way they walk is very similar.
Even his face is very similar to Jung...
There's no way it was Jung!
Yes, I know, I understand.
There's no way I didn't know that.
That's because I miss him so much,
until I hope to meet his ghost.
Even though I say I'm living fine,
There are days when I miss him so much that I feel short of breath.
How dare you destroy the family's reputation...
...which has been built for hundreds of years?
Whatever Dad says,
I will marry her.
Before I die,
I will not accept a blue-eyed woman as my daughter-in-law.
She's not Dad's daughter-in-law, she's my wife.
He's the one who will live with me,
So Dad, don't interfere!
If that's what you want,
leave this house and don't come back.
I'll never go back alone,
Dad doesn't need to worry.
Do what you want.
But,
I can't let the whole house be in chaos because of a child like you.
Now you are my dead child.
If you come back again,
I will eliminate you with my own hands.
If it's Dad,
Surely Dad will do the same thing.
Mother...
Oh my, my!
What about Mom?
There are no words that can calm the heart of a mother who misses her child.
I apologize.
I heard you're close to the Finance Minister's wife?
True, he sometimes calls me.
And I accompanied him to chat.
I am proud of you.
But,
I think it's better not to be with him too often.
People call him "the living Naehun".
Wouldn't it be good if the public knew that he had a friendly relationship...
...when she just lost her husband?
And you too,
never mourn your husband's death by living beside his grave.
I'm afraid this will have a bad impact on you too.
Yes, Dad.
I didn't think far.
Correct.
Come in.
Dad!
Is there anything you want to say?
Forgive me,
I wonder if there is still no news about my brother?
I apologize,
I tried hard to search,
but I didn't find anything.
Is...
...what happened to the soldiers involved that day?
What does that mean?
Did you hear something?
No.
Because there is no news whatsoever,
I think this could be related to the palace.
Didn't I tell you that I checked with government officials,
about your sister's whereabouts that night?
Of.
We lost contact with him after he finished his work as usual.
When I got married, Dad did say that.
But, as time goes by,
I doubted that my brother was just an ordinary soldier.
Of course he is an ordinary soldier.
What are you talking about strangely?
He also often goes to work even though it's not on his schedule.
And he also suddenly got a midnight duty call...
Maybe you don't know because you're still young.
Your brother is just an ordinary soldier.
Is there anything else you want to say?
Forgive me. It seems I thought carelessly.
- It is late. Come on in. - OK, Dad.
What do you think is the reason why everything related to Big Brother suddenly appears?
Definite,
My sister's disappearance is related to something very important.
What if the person who sent this letter is a dangerous person?
Maybe he doesn't know how dangerous I, a Minister's son-in-law, is.
Did Mr. Soo Ho not say anything to you?
Actually what should I do?
Because I told him to think about it,
surely he will give an answer.
I have to meet the Head Merchant.
If you give this from the start,
Your sister's life will not be like that.
Die in peace.
I will take care of your sister.
It's not your turn to be on guard, right?
Due to urgent business, I have to go.
I may not be able to go home for a few days.
Where did the father-in-law go yesterday?
Who's that?
It's a shame I can't host you in a cottage as beautiful as this.
I do think you are a very brave person,
but how can you wear colored clothes after losing your husband?
I'm so bored of always wearing mourning clothes.
Even though I remember, you used to like my courage.
Even though I told you to go quietly and finish this well.
But instead you are determined to stay here and add to the problem?
Whereas,
I'm just conveying a little concern about her brother to your daughter-in-law.
But it seems like Sir is really bothered by that.
Gosh, what are they talking about?
You didn't think you'd survive, did you?
If I can't survive,
that means I have to die.
But, after thinking about it...
Fifteen years ago, my role was very big.
It would be a shame if I died alone.
And thanks to your role, you can become the wife of the Minister of Finance. Forgot?
You got everything thanks to that incident,
but I'm just the wife of the Minister of Finance?
Thinking about it anyhow, this...
...the calculations are not correct.
Is this what is called not knowing yourself?
BEHIND WITHOUT KNOWING THE POSITION
How dare someone like you block me?
People like me can't possibly try to stop you.
I only...
...saying it because I don't want it all to end in vain.
What?
The Finance Minister's wife?
Your son-in-law is very smart.
If I live as usual, in my house,
and I live without any problems,
Wait a minute, why...
We don't need to talk anymore,
Why is he here?
about your smart daughter-in-law and her brother, right?
How dare you threaten me over something as trivial as this.
You're being cheap.
- Ayah! - Han Jae!
Unlucky.
Sir!
Unlucky. Come on!
Sir! Sir!
Be aware, Sir! Sir!
Mr. Soo Ho, come to your senses!
Sir!
How are you? Are you ok?
What happened?
You passed out.
Ouch.
I really tried my best to get you here.
I already said you would owe me a favor, right?
Even though you just can't fight, how can you be so confident?
Thank you for saving me.
You saved me too, right?
But, who are they?
Seeing that they wanted to confirm the wounds on my body,
I'm sure they know me.
Because I keep your secret,
I will tell you my secret in return for your help.
I don't want to hear it.
My own secrets are already heavy, why should I know other people's secrets?
Is it true?
Good grief.
If you insist, just pretend I'm a wall and talk whatever you want.
I also talk to the walls in the temple all day.
That's a bit of a relief.
I...
...is a person who cannot live.
My kind mother, father, and nursing mother...
all the family members who love me,
they were killed before my eyes.
One day fifteen years ago, without warning,
I alone survived the pool of blood.
It's not enough to just be safe,
I also can't remember everything that happened that day completely.
Isn't this what you mean by people who are still alive and sinful?
I sin because I'm still alive,
so I did it to survive.
- I mean... - So...
Don't worry.
I am not that brave,
to make your secret a weakness.
I'll excuse myself.
Thank you for today.
Isn't this what you mean by people who are still alive and sinful?
Gosh, I shouldn't have heard that.
CAPITAL DEFENSE
Mr. Head.
- You came early. - True.
Where is my beloved Officer Park Soo Ho?
There he is...
He wasn't feeling well, it looked like he had the flu.
What?
My beloved Officer Park Soo Ho?
Good grief, where is he now?
- Is your pain serious? - Chief.
Good grief.
Just lie down, you're not feeling well, right?
Is it so hard that you are sick like this?
- I am alright. - What's not okay?
Your face becomes thinner.
That's how it is when you suffer from love sickness.
It will definitely be very heavy.
I'll see his condition and talk to him nicely.
Don't worry, just get better first.
Wait, what does that mean?
You don't need to be ashamed of me.
Juncheon Sungai Cheonggye,
JUNCHEON, THE WORK OF DIGGING THE RIVER FLOOR SO THAT THE WATER FLOWS SMOOTHLY
Let us handle it, you just rest.
Me?
You are right.
- Chief. - Just rest.
If you want to hear about your brother, in five days,
give this book to people who meet you.
Even though there are many beautiful ones.
How about this comb?
Is the story of the book I gave you interesting?
I've finished reading it.
- Wait a minute, I'll get the book. - Wait...
If you come here, the person who will receive the book will be waiting for you.
I'm sorry that I asked you to meet like this.
Forgive my rudeness.
Are you the younger brother of Cho Sung Hoo, the king's soldier fifteen years ago,
as well as the son-in-law of the Left National Advisor,
Cho Yeo Hwa?
Can you promise not to tell anyone about today?
Madam, this is an important matter regarding your brother's life and death.
Can you promise?
If you can't promise, then I don't want to talk anymore either.
Who are you?
Don't turn around. Who are you? Why are you looking for Cho Sung Hoo?
I came because there was something I wanted to talk to Cho Sung Hoo's younger brother.
Answer my question.
Can I talk even if he's here?
I'm looking for Cho Sung Hoo's relics.
What item is that?
I can't say.
I came because I wanted to know,
Is there any news or legacy for the family after he disappeared?
Does that mean you know what caused him to disappear?
Do you know the cause?
Just answer my question. Quick!
Back off.
KNIGHT FLOWER
EPILOGUE
Dad
Good grief.
- Have we met? - No.
- You don't know him. - I remember.
Did you forget what I said if you showed up again?
My sister and I were looking for the truth at that time.
In that case, I have to see Mr. Royal Secretary again.
There's something you haven't finished telling me, right?
I believe all this happened because of your father-in-law's actions.
You are proof.
I feel like this should end before it gets annoying.
Were you looking for my brother from the start?
