The emotional romance between Hong Eun-jo, played by Nam Ji-hyun, and Grand Prince Dowol Lee Yeol, played by Moon Sang-min, in To My Beloved Thief continues to deepen, captivating viewers with their unwavering devotion and life-risking rescues.
Their bond began with an unexpected act of salvation. When Hong Eun-jo helped Lee Yeol while he was in distress at a marketplace, the moment sparked immediate excitement despite being their first encounter. Her decisive protection of him from aristocratic abuse ignited both his curiosity and emotional attachment, driving the story forward.
Lee Yeol later proved his sincerity by rescuing Hong Eun-jo in return. As she rushed to burn down a diseased shelter to save the sick, he fearlessly leaped into danger despite incoming flaming arrows. His willingness to risk his life, including taking an arrow in her place when she was driven by revenge after her father’s sudden death, left viewers deeply moved.
Their emotions intensified further through soul swaps and assassination attempts. Each time danger struck, their determination to protect one another transcended action, delivering profound emotional impact. When Lee Yeol collapsed after being stabbed at the edge of a cliff, and Hong Eun-jo, having returned to her own body, confirmed their true feelings, the moment blended suspense and romance. His narration, confessing, “Even if I must die in Hong Eun-jo’s place, I will accept it,” resonated deeply with audiences.
Hong Eun-jo also acted without hesitation, finding Lee Yeol and administering emergency treatment that ultimately saved his life. The incident solidified her resolve to protect him, marking a turning point that deepened their love.
Having endured countless crises, viewers are now focused on whether the ‘Dodo Couple’ can protect each other until the end amid the looming political upheaval. Following the dramatic conclusion of Episode 14, which left their fate uncertain, anticipation is rising for how their romance will ultimately conclude.
Episodes 15 and the final episode of the KBS2 weekend miniseries To My Beloved Thief will air on February 21 and 22 at 9:20 p.m.
