[Seoul=RNX News] Reporter Jeong Se-yeon = The sweet moves of Grand Prince Moon Sang-min towards thief Nam Ji-hyun begin.
In the KBS 2TV new weekend miniseries ‘Dear Thief’ (written by Lee Sun/ directed by Ham Young-gul/ produced by Studio Dragon), which will air its first episode on January 3, 2026 (Sat) at 9:20 PM, 1st teaser video (https://youtu.be/mZiFzYy4BAM?si=5-5ocnnP0TJwAOOr) has been released, forecasting the different day and night dynamics between thief Hong Eun-jo (played by Nam Ji-hyun) and Grand Prince Dowol Lee Yeol (played by Moon Sang-min).
The teaser video opens with the intense sound of the curfew bell. Though time seems to stop for everyone else, Hong Eun-jo secretly steps out for a night stroll, avoiding others’ eyes. She leads a dual life, being a medical woman during the day and a thief named Gil-dong by night.
While the night patrol troops hurry to catch her as she moves across rooftops as if they were flat ground, Grand Prince Dowol Lee Yeol, the king’s brother, joins the chase saying, “I see Gil-dong’s shadow has been stepped on,” drawing attention. With the pursuit intensifying, Hong Eun-jo’s breath quickens, heightening the tension.
Amid curiosity about whether Hong Eun-jo can evade Grand Prince Lee Yeol’s pursuit, an unexpected meeting between Hong Eun-jo and Lee Yeol ignites curiosity. Meeting Hong Eun-jo by chance in the bustling street, Lee Yeol surprises her by warmly extending his hand, saying, “I’m flirting.”
Despite her rational judgment telling her to run, Hong Eun-jo’s heart seems drawn in, the mix of wariness and curiosity on her face piquing interest.
Especially in light of Lee Yeol’s smile saying, “Shall we take a proper step from now on,” which causes Hong Eun-jo to gaze at him, as if enchanted, stirring viewers’ hearts. What reaction Hong Eun-jo will show to Lee Yeol’s outspoken stormy flirting is growing in curiosity.
‘Dear Thief’ through its 1st teaser video already sets up anticipation for the unique relationship between Hong Eun-jo and Lee Yeol, shifting from being the beloved ‘my man’ during the day to the thief ‘I must catch’ at night.
The story of the two, unbeknownst at first that ‘the thief I pursue is my beloved,’ intertwined and twisted, is already eagerly awaited.
A dangerous yet grand romance of a woman who unexpectedly becomes the greatest thief in the world and the Grand Prince who was chasing her, exchanging souls and ultimately saving each other and protecting the people, is what the KBS 2TV new weekend miniseries ‘Dear Thief’ aims to portray, set to premiere on January 3, 2026 (Sat) at 9:20 PM.
