Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Hong Eun-Jo (Nam Ji-Hyun) is a physician and the thief named Gil-Dong. She was born between a nobleman and a woman of the lowest class. Hong Eun-Jo takes care of patients at Hyeminseo during the day and, as Gil-Dong, raids the treasuries of corrupt officials to save people during the night. One day, an unexpected incident takes place to Hong Eun-Jo. Due to that, she becomes entangled by fate with Prince Yi Yeol (Moon Sang-Min), who is the younger stepbrother of the king.

Prince Yi Yeol is a handsome man, tall in stature, and possesses innate dignity. He seems to have an easygoing life, like walking around the streets, but he enjoys performing police officer like actions, like catching criminals and telling the eunuchs and court ladies in the royal palace about what he did. While his actions are misunderstood, everything is meticulously planned Prince Yi Yeol to protect his people. He hides his true abilities, under the guise of a hobby, but, by fate, he happens to encounter thief Gil-Dong and is captivated by her.

Comments

byul52 Apr 13 2026 12:34 pm Warning, this comment contains SPOILERs because I have to answer a question from someone who doesn't understand the Details of the plot of this story.

to @Uffff, after reading your review, especially your questions, I suspect you are not a fan of Sageuk/Historical K-drama. Thank you for your question. Let me answer based on my understanding and experience of the plot of this story/drama.

1. First, Hong Min-jik was the greatest archer in Joseon during that period. so he taught his skills to his daughter, Hong Eun-jo. (you should watch episode 10 again). Second, FL, ML, SML, and all the Joseon people know that the King and his entourage are on their way back to the palace after hunting in the forest. Then, the most suitable place to shoot an arrow to the royal palanquin/carriage that was carrying the King was the CLIFF in the episode 9. FL couldn't see a person's face clearly within a distance of 2 kilometers, but FL tried to aim at the person inside the royal palanquin/carriage. Do I need to answer any further?

2. Bro, physically, the King still has the strength to wield a sword and shoot an archery, but psychologically, the King's mentality is unstable. He was under the influence of drugs (poison).

3. Sorry, I can't handle this naive question uhh. but the point is that the King realized that only Im Sa-hyeong was on his side, so he freed Im Sa-hyeong from the punishment.

4. Sorry, can you be more clear, which scene/episode/plot are you referring to?

5. To get to the Leper Camp, you don't actually need a boat. You just need to walk, run, or ride a horse to get there. (Even if the Grand Prince rode a horse, it would be tied up outside the leper camp). in the Gisaeng/Courtesan Rescue Arc, they use a boat to trick the King and the royal troops.

6. In that scene, it has a hidden/implicit meaning that Eun-jo's friends who know Gil-dong's real identity, they do not say it clearly/obviously that Eun-jo is Gil-dong, they only welcome Eun-jo, who is their friend, who is a physician at Hyeminseo who has helped many people in Joseon. They didn't reveal Gil-dong's true identity to the people. The people (including the gisaengs) assumed that Eun-jo was just a friend/associate of the Grand Prince. The people still don't know that Gil-dong is a woman. If Eun-jo were revealed as Gil-dong, then Eun-jo would gain more huge popularity. But the truth is that Gil-dong still remains a secret, right?

I apologize if there are any grammatical errors in my comment. I hope you can understand the plot of this drama.

to @D, I hope you know that To My Beloved Thief was nominated for Best Screenplay in the 2026 Baeksang Arts Awards.

Thank you for reading my comment in full <3

D Mar 29 2026 11:51 am It’s nice, I like it, currently on ep 4 and I got disappointed on body swapped thing, the story of a thief like Robin Hood in old time is good and I think it doesn’t need to incorporate the body-swapped.

shiba sky Mar 16 2026 9:43 pm reply to @Jelly , it's not an inconsistency. Try looking at it from Hong Dae-il's (Hong Eun-jo's older brother) perspective. Even though he is not as brave and not as strong as his younger sister, he still has the responsibility to protect his younger sister. He's not as smart as Yeol, but he's not stupid enough to leave his younger sister alone in the chaotic conditions of the capital/country. So why didn't he tell Eun-jo that he already knew she was going to do something dangerous? Because he couldn't stop what Eun-jo was going to do, and at the very least he wanted to ease her worries about her family's safety. He continued to watch over, protect, and support his younger sister in whatever ways he could—without anyone knowing.

Jelly Mar 08 2026 7:46 pm There’s a bit of inconsistency. Eun-Jo send her brother and mother on a ship to avoid the Gildong chase and possibly revolution. How come Eun jo’ brother and Hae rim met at the Gildong rally with their butcher’s mask. Hmmm

sof Mar 05 2026 3:38 am This Kdrama Is So Underrated!!! It's a chill watch for me, the plot is fine idk why some people is complaining about the soul swap. I've watched Moon River and To My Beloved Thief, and I love both. However, this kdrama is slightly more interesting!!

Ryunami Feb 28 2026 11:31 pm The best is the cameo by Kim Jae Wok in the final episode lol

Butterflies Feb 25 2026 10:06 pm The Soul Swap plot in To My Beloved Thief is better and more logical than in Moon River. There are no cringe-worthy scenes in this kdrama. Can't believe some people are complaining about the soul swap, bruuu the script won Excellence Award at Studio Dragon's Drama Script Contest way back 2020

Digsss Feb 25 2026 3:18 pm This film is very stupid, why did the writer feel the need to copy moon river in a different way. Honestly I give the actors,directors including the writer but I personally feel like the film would be better without the soul switching

xxx:) Feb 24 2026 4:18 pm Omg I Just Had The Greatest Realisation. bro Hong Mingi and Moon Sangmin Both have worked with Oh Yeju!!!!!!! (Mingi in love your enemy and Sangmin in Under The Queen's Umbrella)

8zy Feb 24 2026 2:31 pm Kim jae wook! ???

Cassie Francis jea Feb 24 2026 10:59 am Jae-i is and Shin Hae-Rim so cute

Gb Feb 24 2026 12:11 am I don’t usually comment, but this drama was perfectly balanced—not too evil, not too weak, and not overly heroic. It was just enough, and very satisfying. I really loved this drama. It’s truly worth watching! Great job to the cast, director, writer, and everyone involved.

wish2seeuagain Feb 23 2026 6:55 am it's a wonderful story! I'm hoping for the next season2 in a modern days like how it end. great from the start until end

wish2seeuagain Feb 23 2026 6:50 am wonderful story! hoping for season2 in a modern days like how it end. great feom start to end

Lydia Feb 22 2026 1:53 pm What a pleasant surprise......Kim Jae Wook as a cameo in the last episode

Flower Feb 22 2026 1:05 pm Magnificent drama loved every ep , today the final Viki , a pitty it wasn´t on Netflix it deserved more praise !

Eijay Feb 22 2026 10:31 am Love this drama! Both the leads played their dual characters so well.

FlowerShoes Feb 16 2026 10:27 pm sorry @Mmm, but i think Min-gi has played Jae-yi very well, because since childhood, Jae-yi has received less affection from his family, so Jae-yi has less ability to show his expressions.

Mmm Feb 16 2026 2:41 pm The second lead actor need to improve his acting skills — the same facial expression in every scene and the same tone of voice in every situation.

LL Feb 16 2026 12:52 am Too beautiful to be true ..... Luuuuuuuuuv it so much

SillyValley Feb 15 2026 6:11 pm Aigoo Hong Eun-Jo! Honestly- there’s a dreamy grand prince sitting right in front of you, half-dressed, eyes overflowing with longing and love…and all you do is talk, talk, talk.

Skoeneo Feb 13 2026 10:59 pm Hello can we have them already? It's 14th already

Love arrow Feb 12 2026 11:32 pm One thing that really stood out to me was how Sangmin portrayed Eun Jo. The femininity in his performance didn’t rely on exaggerated expressions or forced mannerisms. Instead, it showed through subtle body language — the slight bounce in his walk, the relaxed shoulders, the softened posture compared to the firm, upright stance he used as Lee Yeol. Those small physical adjustments made the transformation believable. You could immediately sense the shift in identity without it feeling caricatured or cringey. It felt natural, controlled, and intentional. In contrast, while I genuinely enjoyed MR, some of the comedic choices — especially the constant pouting and overly cutesy tone — occasionally felt a bit overdone. The humor was fun, but at times it leaned heavily into exaggeration. What makes Sangmin’s performance impressive is that he conveyed femininity without turning it into a gimmick. It was nuanced rather than loud, and that restraint made all the difference.

Tzveeble Feb 11 2026 7:54 am At last, again a period piece that unifies drama, emotional captivation, great philosophical content and visual beauty. Loving every minute!

Effa Feb 11 2026 7:15 am Enjoying it till ep 4 wth with the soul swap?! ????

encarlisag Feb 11 2026 2:19 am The episode 11 can't be view error. And episode 12 has no English caption

FlowerShoes Feb 10 2026 9:03 pm The Soul Swap plot in TMBT is better and more logical than in MR. There are no cringe-worthy scenes in TMBT. Can't believe some people are complaining about the soul swap, bruuu the script won Excellence Award at Studio Dragon's Drama Script Contest way back 2020

Russell Feb 10 2026 7:58 pm I am getting really tired of the body swapping stories too. Enough already!

Bev beedie Feb 08 2026 10:41 am I really enjoyed it but it was a bit confusing with the body swapping Itcould have done without that

Kuuku Feb 08 2026 6:25 am Replying to Ming:

You typed out all of my thoughts exactly! Jae-I is having the biggest character development in the drama. His character is so well crafted, I totally agree with you.

Jil Feb 08 2026 1:04 am All 3 main leads are serving acting and face card!

I love them all!

Ming Feb 07 2026 12:42 pm Replying to Hanikas:

I think the second male lead shows the red flag attitutde because he wants to take revenge on his dad. If you remember, he clearly shows he hate his father for threatening him with the status that the father provide to him.

He actually wanted to live as someone like Eun Jo with warm personality, but he can't coz his father mentally groomed him to became like his brother. And the father seems kind on the outside but actually being hypocrite, he just dont show his real colours to people.

The second male lead actually portray his heart wanted to be kind and shows empathy but he have to force himself to be rude and evli like his brother. If I remember it correctly probably in ep 3 or 4, the servant accidentally hit the brother and the jade hair pin dropped. The brother being rude to the servant because of the low status, and he looked at his brother with an annoyed and disgusted face, but have to adapt and match his brother energy. Instead of helping the servant, he stepped on the jade hair pin and it cracks.

All in all, I have good faith in second male lead. Strongly believe he will be part of the ally and help the prince (coz you know, he loves eunjo and he wants eunjo in a good hand)

Jacqueline Feb 07 2026 12:36 am I love the Drama so much effort super B! I also love the chararcters their portray, especially NamJihyun she portray her character perfectly, the leading man and 2nd lead their chemistry with namjihyun is so hot, i mean they have chemistry both the 1st lead nad 2nd lead, Namjihyun is the queen chemistry indeed, Whoever the men she work she perfectly handle it. Queen Indeed!

Lili Feb 05 2026 9:53 am The look a like moon sang min and ha seok jin. I am just confused of Ha Seok Jin from lead roles to support role.

Jigokusan Feb 02 2026 1:16 pm For everyone complain anout the swap soul just watch and wait until episode 8 up, and you will understand why they need soul swap if not they can not solve the problems. Until now 10 episodes it is still interesting and worth to wait.

Elise Feb 02 2026 5:47 am Was good until the swap and i stopped watching.

Haruna Cchi Feb 01 2026 10:48 am Gosh, I was not expecting the swap in ep 10 but the twists is seriously twisting my brain now hahah. This is the best drama this year! Ji Hyun and Sang Min, they have a good lead couple chemistry!!!! I first discover them in Saeguk dramas (100 days my prince and under the queens umbrella) and now in TMBT, gosh, they are so perfect! I can’t wait for episode 11!!

Kimberly Feb 01 2026 12:07 am Wasn't expecting ep 9 to end that way..... will there even be any happy ending at all :( ... its too sad...and who is that woman in the temple where spy keep updating her with what is going on around.

Majorier Evans Jan 31 2026 2:32 pm This is a great drama to my beloved thief. However, the king is a bad actor, and his storyline doesn’t make any sense. Why would y’all involve somebody using drugs to get him high in a drama like this big mistake?

poolah Jan 29 2026 10:48 pm I don’t like the soul swapping element T_T

Vivyrene Jan 29 2026 9:05 am Why did they swap? I mean the movie would have been better off without them swapping.

L Ibemsana Chanu Jan 27 2026 9:33 am My favourite drama. Eagerly waiting for next episodes☺☺☺☺☺

L Ibemsana Chanu Jan 27 2026 9:30 am Eagerly waiting for next episodes☺☺☺☺☺

Hanikas Jan 26 2026 9:06 am I think it is 16 episode becauss they gonna overthrown the tyrant king, the ML will become the king and FL if can would become the queen, dunno if her status alllowed her to be a queen.

Btw, i don't understand the second lead syndrome in this? Is it the bad boy vibe? He is not bad, he just evil and twisted at this rate. Second lead syndrome is usually when the SML is a green forest. The SML is the brightest red stop and we shouldn't be attracted to him at all. He just need some help n therapy.

Emuhlye Jan 26 2026 12:16 am I’m so in love with the this. The ML is perfect and has stolen my heart. I’m eve growing to love the second ML. The drama has it all. A badass female Robin Hood, the smart, loyal prince and the whole cast has done an excellent job. I early await each new episode.

Kimberly Jan 25 2026 1:27 pm I usually get second lead syndrome in kdrama but sadly not this one.. why do they just have to make him be this kind of person where he end up hurting or nearly hurting eunjo mentally and physically. It really put him in a very bad light. Maybe that can be change in the later episode.. and although i really want the prince to end up together with eunjo, but seeing how their family is enemy where the king even put a sword on eunjo father..i don't know how they can be together... Maybe if they run away and live happily ever after somewhere else without worrying about their family but that's really unlikely will happen. Cant wait for next week episode 9!!!

Kik Jan 24 2026 12:12 pm It’s so good. Moon Sang Min just needs to admit that period drama is his niche. Just be a prince each and every time. Haha. I’m enjoying the plot. Character development. This soul-swapping period drama isn’t as cringey as the recent one where I quit watching.

Yoori Jan 24 2026 11:03 am I can't help but comment too. I read EZ's comment about Hong Min Gi, and I couldn't agree more. After the swap, I find him more attractive than the male lead. Haha.

Ez Jan 22 2026 8:03 am It was a bit strange when there was a soul swap. It would have been better if the story was just a romantic comedy. Instead, I got second lead syndrome with the other guy. Hong Min Gi actually did more damage here than the prince. Hahaha

riz Jan 21 2026 3:28 am A compelling drama with a strong, engaging storyline that keeps you invested. The leads share excellent chemistry, it feels natural. The body swap is necessary to the plot. It's not the same as moon river.

KdramaLove Jan 20 2026 9:46 pm (Spoilers) Honestly, after being disappointed with Moon River, I didn't want to give this a chance, but I'm pleasantly surprised with how interesting the storyline is. I also think the main leads have good chemistry. However, I'm now on episode 5 and I hate the direction they are taking it. They definitely did not need another soul swap storyline added to this. I feel like it would be more interesting if they focused more on her being gil dong and how she comes close to being caught. They could have added more tension by having the prince on house arrest and she sneaks in give him evidence that will get him out. Something to bring them closer, add tension, and get the story moving. Soul swap, if not done well, just gives the story a bunch of plot holes and it's hard to create good chemistry with the main leads. I'm going to keep watching, but not a fan of the direction so far.

sunshower@1996 Jan 20 2026 12:21 am the body swap was so so turn off for me but still gave it try and it did not led me down. The body swap incident was kind needed as the both character were unaware of each other perspective. However if it could have been displayed in other ways the hype would not have been lukewarm at end of epi 4

Aaliyah Jan 19 2026 9:16 pm I have watched Moon River, imo this one is something different, and ..way much better...the script is good and every scene is beautiful. I feel sorry for the people who missed this series just because of the body swap, what a shame.

Now... I just hope this series will give a happy ending for everyone.

Kimberly Jan 18 2026 7:23 am I thought episode 5 was gonna be like moonriver but its not, it was actually nice to watch, eunjo in the prince body save the king from that incense smell and also for the prince to found out everything that eunjo been keeping to herself. I actually kinda enjoy watching episode 5 now waiting for episode 6. I just hope that in the end of this it would be a happy ending for both eunjo and the prince, wouldn't want to watch anymore sad ending. I like the actor of the king, but if he have to get murdered in the drama then just let it be i guess because there's been so many drama where the king be death and the main character be the next king.

Hyeri Jan 17 2026 1:56 am Udahh feeling klw bakalan soul swap again, but i really like the story and of course the main lead ? nam ji Hyun nam ji hyun moon sang min

bukky Jan 14 2026 2:00 pm Disappointed at the body swap Omo,not watching again !

Erwin Jan 13 2026 1:36 am the moment i saw the ending of ep4 where they both wake up and their soul been swapped i was so disappointed sorry.

Jillibean Jan 12 2026 11:11 pm Not another body swapping historical. Yawn. Like the actors but I will just have to skip this one. Sorry.

nisa Jan 12 2026 5:08 pm Seeing all the comment..tbh i guess it comes with our own preference guys, but ya i would have wanted the prince and the girl to stay their true self in their own body, because it was more romantic ep1-ep4.

Moccachino Jan 12 2026 1:01 pm @kpm: can't believe some people are complaining about the soul swap, bruuu the script won Excellence Award at Studio Dragon's Drama Script Contest way back 2020 ? And NO they didn't copy any drama

In my opinion, the chemistry between NamJihyun and MoonSangmin is More Aesthetic. Studio Dragon created this drama beautifully, with every detail of the scenes and audio. The script truly deserved to win the script contest held by Studio Dragon in 2020. I really enjoyed this drama. I always can't wait for the next episode of this drama ^o^Thank you for creating this beautiful work <3

Flower Rain Jan 12 2026 12:53 pm In my opinion, the "body swap" plot is related to the word "TO" in the title "To My Beloved Thief". So, to understand the thief's reason, he must be the thief. Because in my opinion, if the thief only explains his reason with words/talk, then there must be those who believe it and there are those who don't believe it.

In my understanding, the person who will save the Joseon people in that period is Gil-dong/the thief. However, EunJo/GilDong can't do it alone, while Yi Yeol (Do Wol daegun) can't However, Eunjo/GilDong can't do it alone, while Yi Yeol (Do Wol daegun) can't do it without Gil-Dong's movement. So they have to work together, or even become each other by swapping bodies.

notes: saeguk ❎ sageuk ✅ Sorry, my English is not very good. But, i want to say: ??Chemistry Eunjo (dojeok-nim) & Dowol daegun gemesh bangett aaa melting sumpahh, scene-scene nya juga romantis estetik bgtt aaa ??

Qazas Jan 12 2026 11:57 am Please don't add any more negative comments regarding "body/soul swap", try to think again about how good episodes 1, 2, and 3 of this drama are.

@kpm: can't believe some people are complaining about the soul swap, bruuu the script won Excellence Award at Studio Dragon's Drama Script Contest way back 2020 ? And NO they didn't copy any drama

Yeon_ik Jan 12 2026 10:17 am no one wanna watch the male lead whose been so cool handsome and manly this whole time then suddenly he turned to being girly and the female lead too i prefer Her to continue being feminine and not all of a sudden appear manly, sorry its a no for me i don't think I'll be able to continue watching this anymore, I agree with all the comments below. It's literally like moonriver where the male lead was so manly turned so girly. Sorry No More Watching For Me!

WHY Jan 12 2026 10:08 am Just finished watch episode 4.. another soul swap drama again? really??!

Rose Jan 12 2026 8:45 am The drama was going well until the soul swap it will become boring like Moon River I thought the wrist band was to make them fall in love but soul swap is such a waste of time such a great historical drama wasted

Kimberly Jan 12 2026 6:54 am Noooooo, not the soul swapping T_T the drama was going so greatttttt why must they add the soul swapping. It was kinda like the drama "Moon River" i was watching all the episode until the soul swapping happened and i just dont have the interest to continue watching it anymoreeee. Nooooo T_T why must they add the soul swappingggg

Tootsie Jan 12 2026 1:51 am Here it goes, second lead fever for Hong Min Gi ughhhh I love him

josh Jan 11 2026 9:51 pm Why do kdrama directors love soul swapping. Its a horrible theme for me.

kpm Jan 11 2026 8:58 pm Can't believe some people are complaining about the soul swap, bruuu the script won Excellence Award at Studio Dragon's Drama Script Contest way back 2020 ? And No they didn't copy any drama

R Jan 11 2026 2:53 pm I was really enjoying the drama not until the soul swap. It was really going great so far that even though some plots are already seen in other kdramas i was still enjoying it. But the swap just took away the organic plot. Now its just another sorcery drama, i am really interested with the male lead character because he is a tough man with a kind heart but now were swapping the bodies??? i cannot stand the directoooor

Jc Jan 11 2026 1:27 pm What's up with a swap. Looks like the writer copied another recent K Drama. Where is the originality. It like a trend with useless swap plot. Was interesting until now. This would be a reason why K drama will fail in the long run. Hope the writer sees this comment.

GreatWD Jan 11 2026 12:41 pm It is refreshing to watch a Korean Drama that funny and interesting. Thanks

Maa Jan 11 2026 11:29 am Really enjoy watcing until the soul swap. Like why?

Diana Jan 11 2026 10:56 am is the writer the same with Moon River? I don't know why the body swap was necessary..

Janna Jan 11 2026 6:49 am One the best drama hopefully it will be popular

Kimberly Jan 07 2026 5:59 am Just finished watch episode 2, so excited to watch episode 3! cant waitttt

Radi Jan 05 2026 12:23 pm Nam jihyun is a versatile actress with amazing acting skills.She looks so pretty and cute in Hanbok.She is real comedy queen and witty in her roles.This drama,the script is quite interesting and Nam jihyun and Moon sangmin-a powerful chemistry.They are very cute together.

Aline 49 Jan 05 2026 11:02 am Finally, my beloved sageuk princess comeback! ? I'm really love sageuk because Jihyun played in queen Seondeok.

? Love ji-hyun Jan 05 2026 3:08 am Nam Ji-hyun fits perfectly for a role like this...

It reminds me of 100 days my prince...

Hope this to be successful.

kk Jan 04 2026 11:19 pm I’m also very grateful that My Beloved Thief is available on VIKI Indonesia. If it wasn’t released in Indonesia, it would be really hard for me to know where to watch it.

Thank you for making this drama easy to access for Indonesian viewers. Really appreciate it. Just finished episode 1&2 cant wait next episode ❤️

kk Jan 04 2026 11:17 pm ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My Beloved Thief is my first sageuk, my first romcom, and a new drama for 2026. Now I can say, I really love sageuk dramas! Please make more sageuk dramas in the future ??

Back to this drama, I’m very happy because Nam Ji Hyun is the female lead. Her acting is always good and never disappointing.

For Moon Sang Min, he fits the role of Cheona perfectly. He’s so funny, especially when he gets shy after kissing Nam Ji Hyun that scene made me smile a lot ^_^

Another happy thing is this drama has 16 episodes aaaaa I’m really happy! I hope this drama has a happy ending and not too heavy conflicts.

Once again, thank you so much. Good luck to all the cast and crew, please stay healthy and happy. I hope this drama gets high ratings ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love Jan 04 2026 1:02 pm I enjoy the show so much

green grass so pretty Dec 12 2025 1:45 am Wow, can't wait to watch it. I recognized the leads that stated here. I really like Nam Jihyun since suspicious partner and I watched good partner also. It is one of my favorite drama. She's so pretty and such a good actress. And Moon Sangmin also, I have watched some one of his works. He's so cute. I like him in Under The Queen's Umbrella. He also suits the historical genre. Hong mingi also I recognized him in study group. I can understand why people want him to have more screentime. He's so cute. such honeybunch sugarplump. Hehehe. all the best to this new drama. I'm looking forward to it.
