Actor Moon Sang Min is delivering unprecedented endings that squeeze and release the heart every episode in To My Beloved Thief, generating a heated response.
On the 25th, with episode 8 airing, the KBS2 Saturday-Sunday miniseries To My Beloved Thief (written by Lee Seon, directed by Ham Young-gul, produced by Studio Dragon) passed the halfway point, and Moon Sang Min, who plays Prince Dowol Ie-yeol, has been delivering overwhelming impact in every ending scene. with a wide spectrum of acting that moves between romance, action and comedy, his presence, which firmly anchors the center of the drama, plays a powerful role in pulling viewers to the next episode.
In the early episodes, Moon Sang Min delivered the thrill befitting a "confident rom-com prince." in the episode 1 ending, after a surprise first kiss with Hong Eun-jo (Nam Ji-hyun), his smile as he brushed his lips while saying "I will definitely catch you" instantly captured the hearts of female viewers. in episode 2, he found Hong Eun-jo and left the memorable line "Got you, a single blossom," showing the epitome of a rom-com male lead. the triangle-relationship ending in episode 3, which created a strange tension between Hong Eun-jo and Im Jae-i, was also a standout.
In episode 4's soul-change ending that flipped the tone of the work, Moon Sang Min perfectly expressed Hong Eun-jo's embarrassment inhabiting Ie-yeol's body with just one scene of opening his eyes. in episode 5, he completed a dramatic moment by hiding his identity, performing a flashy sword-fighting action with Gil-dong, and then being shocked to discover the opponent was Hong Eun-jo, and in the final scene of episode 6 he returned to his original body and sent shivers with the charisma of riding a horse at full speed to save Hong Eun-jo in danger.
As the second half began, Moon Sang Min's acting deepened further. in the episode 7 ending, his bulldozer-style confession when he presented a marriage proposal to Hong Eun-jo and declared "I will marry you. this is my proposal," and his fierce glare in response to Im Jae-i's provocation, targeted viewers' hearts. in episode 8, he once again rewrote the rules of endings by appearing before Hong Eun-jo as the "flawless savior," cutting a flying fire arrow in the flames.
Moon Sang Min is building a career-defining character by depicting the character's growth in detail in unpredictable developments and endings every episode. from romantic thrills to action that makes your palms sweat, expectations are rising for his dominance of the endings.
Meanwhile, the Saturday-Sunday miniseries To My Beloved Thief, in which Moon Sang Min appears, airs on KBS2 every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 p.m.
