The Nokdu Flower

Baek I-hyeon returns home from studying abroad. As the townspeople's fury against the government grows, Jeon Bong-jun plans an uprising.

When his father is injured, Baek I-gang brings him to safety and finds reluctant help from Song Ja-in. Bong-jun and his followers blow up a dam.

As I-gang struggles to accept a loss, he's handed a new role in his family. A powerful supporter of the Donghak movement is imprisoned.

Looking for a fresh start for himself and his mother, I-gang tells Baek Man-deuk he wants to leave. His plans are quickly sabotaged.

I-hyeon's sudden conscription stuns the Baek family. Meanwhile, I-gang shows up at the Donghak camp with a request for Bong-jun.

In Bong-jun's army, I-gang has a long way to go to earn the others' trust. I-hyeon finds out who was responsible for sending him to war.

When Ja-in is captured by Donghak soldiers, she and I-gang finally meet again. I-hyeon comes back with full intent to marry Hwang Myeong-sim.

I-gang refuses to return to his family. I-hyeon steps into his father's place. After a battle, the king sends a message to Bong-jun and his army.

As Donghak forces take over Jeonju, Hwang Seok-ju agrees to lead the conscripted army. With a rifle on his back, I-hyeon goes with him.

While hunting for the enemy marksman, I-gang's friend is wounded. The Qing army arrives, and with it another — and wholly unwanted — surprise.
