KBS is set to welcome 2026 with a visually stunning and emotionally rich historical drama titled To My Beloved Thief. Slated to air as a Saturday–Sunday miniseries, the drama has already drawn attention after the release of its character posters, hinting at a story filled with mystery, romance, and destiny-twisting moments.
Set in a Joseon-era backdrop, the drama follows the life of a woman who lives a double existence. By day, she is a skilled physician trusted by the people, but by night, she becomes a mysterious thief who steals from the corrupt to help the powerless. Her carefully balanced life takes an unexpected turn when she becomes entangled with a sharp-minded prince who enjoys solving cases more than palace politics. A sudden soul-swapping incident forces the two to live each other’s lives, leading to chaos, emotional growth, and an undeniable romantic connection.
Nam Ji-hyun leads the drama with her portrayal of the fearless and compassionate heroine, while Moon Sang-min plays the curious and intelligent prince. Supporting roles by Hong Min-gi and Han So-eun add depth to the political and emotional conflicts surrounding the central couple.
With its blend of sageuk aesthetics, fantasy elements, and romantic comedy, To My Beloved Thief promises a fresh take on the classic body-swap trope. The drama will premiere on January 3, 2026, airing at 9:20 PM on KBS2.
