As the period fantasy drama “To My Beloved Thief” approaches its finale, lead actors Nam Ji Hyun and Moon Sang Min have personally revealed the scenes and lines that left the deepest impression on them.
“To My Beloved Thief” tells the story of Hong Eun Jo (Nam Ji Hyun), who secretly lives as the legendary thief Hong Gil Dong, and Prince Yi Yeol (Moon Sang Min), who unexpectedly swaps bodies with her.
With the story nearing its climax, both actors reflected on the moments that stood out the most.
(Spoilers below.)
Nam Ji Hyun selected the scene in which Yi Yeol comes to see Hong Eun Jo after she has a major argument with Lim Jae Yi (Hong Min Ki). She explained, “It is the moment when Eun Jo realizes that he is truly someone precious to her and someone she cannot give up, which leads her to resolve to push him away instead. I like this scene because it clearly portrays Eun Jo’s conflicting emotions.” She added that the scene beautifully captures the simultaneous attraction and fear one feels when meeting someone who is destined to have a profound impact on one’s life.
Moon Sang Min chose his favorite line from the ending of Episode 2:
“That’s right—you, flower shoes, flower rain. I’ve caught you, a single blooming flower.”
He shared, “It is the moment when Yi Yeol openly expresses his feelings for Hong Eun Jo without hiding them. I believe it is the first line that truly contains Yi Yeol’s sincere emotions. Even though it is short, it is filled with his feelings, which makes it especially memorable.”
He also mentioned that the nighttime scenes he filmed with Eun Jo remain unforgettable. “During filming, there were nights when the moon looked incredibly clear and bright. Those landscapes naturally overlapped with the emotions of the scenes we were shooting together, and I still cannot forget them. Those moments deepened Yi Yeol’s emotions and remain cherished memories for me.”
The next episode of “To My Beloved Thief” will air on February 21 at 9:20 p.m. KST.
