*** To My Beloved Thief (2026) ***
(Viki 16 1:10 eps)

[!!CW!! Synopsis & non-spoilery review.]

A retelling of the story of Hong Gil Dong - stealing from the rich & giving to the poor. This time with a woman as the gifted offspring of a nobleman & a slave. She is a doctor by day & a savior by night.

A furtive prince passes time playing at detective. As he crosses paths with the dr. & the thief repeatedly, he learns a great deal about himself & the plight of his country's citizens.

Nam Ji Hyun is the star, but the other leads did a great job supporting her & the leads had great chemistry. The story has typical Joseon court intrigue, but with some fresh twists. The soul-swapping trope was used very effectively to switch up the story & provide new perspectives for the characters. A fine balance of mystery, romance, comedy, & social commentary.
