KBS 2TV’s fantasy romance drama To My Beloved Thief has released new stills ahead of its third episode, offering a glimpse of Moon Sang Min’s character Yi Yeol beginning his earnest pursuit of Nam Ji Hyun’s Hong Eun Jo.
The series stars Nam Ji Hyun as Hong Eun Jo, a woman who secretly lives as the legendary thief Hong Gil Dong, and Moon Sang Min as Prince Yi Yeol, who unexpectedly swaps bodies with her. The drama blends romance, mystery, and supernatural elements.
Previously, the two characters were left deeply unsettled after sharing an unexpected kiss during their second encounter. Hong Eun Jo confided her confusing emotions to her mother, while Yi Yeol carefully replayed the events of that day, trying to make sense of her feelings. The second episode concluded with their third meeting, marking a turning point in their relationship.
While attempting to protect Hong Gil Dong, Yi Yeol was injured by an arrow and sought medical treatment. During this process, he ran into Hong Eun Jo, who had hurriedly discarded her disguise. Yi Yeol immediately recognized her as the woman who had taken his first kiss, solidifying his growing attraction.
The newly released stills from the upcoming episode show Yi Yeol clearly smitten. As Hong Eun Jo treats a critically ill patient, Yi Yeol unexpectedly appears and offers his assistance without hesitation. Working side by side, the two grow closer, and Yi Yeol’s affectionate gaze reveals that he has already fallen deeply for her.
Whether Yi Yeol’s straightforward pursuit will succeed remains to be seen. The third episode of To My Beloved Thief airs on January 10 at 9:20 p.m. KST on KBS 2TV.
