Hong Eun-jo, who has lived as both a physician and the thief “Gil-dong,” has long relied on Lee Yeol’s protection through countless crises. When her identity was on the verge of being exposed, Lee Yeol recognized the sincerity behind her actions and chose to protect her secret. Even when she was pushed to the brink of death while helping the people of Gujilmak, he was the one who ultimately saved her. His consistent efforts to stay one step ahead in protecting Eun-jo have continued to heighten viewers’ emotional investment.

This time, however, the situation is reversed. Lee Yeol is stabbed and falls from a cliff in a scheme orchestrated by Im Seung-jae (Do Sang-woo), leaving him suspended between life and death. Eun-jo manages to find him and remains firmly by his side, supporting his recovery in every possible way. In the released stills, her eyes are filled with worry and affection, reflecting the depth of her feelings and hinting at the emotional shift between them.

Particularly notable is the “silkie chicken soup date” scene. Remembering Lee Yeol’s playful remark about wanting to taste the prized silkie chicken from her home, Eun-jo prepares the nourishing dish herself to restore his strength. Having regained his energy, Lee Yeol looks at her with a meaningful smile, and a different emotional current begins to flow between them.

With Lee Yeol facing mortal danger for the first time, this incident signals a new turning point in their relationship. The feelings that have steadily accumulated through repeated crises are poised to take on a new meaning. The romance between the thief and the royal prince, once separated by fate and circumstance, is expected to deepen even further.

Episode 13 of To My Beloved Thief, featuring the poignant story of Nam Ji-hyun and Moon Sang-min, airs on February 14 at 9:20 p.m.
