It’s worth your time and attention!
“To My Beloved Thief” is not the best K-drama ever made, but it’s definitely worth watching.
Very positive notes:
The story is interesting and compelling. Even with some of the usual tropes, it still manages to feel fresh and keeps you engaged throughout.
The acting is really great. Moon Sang-min, in particular, is fantastic and I definitely think he’ll become a reference in the Korean acting scene.
The overall production is also very good!
Not-so-positive notes:
Nam Ji-hyun is great as Hong Eun-jo, but for me, she looks too old for the role. Don’t get me wrong: she looks great and she’s beautiful, but she looks noticeably older than her character is supposed to be and also older than the male lead, who often looks younger than his actual age.
Because of that, even though the story is engaging and their acting is really good, I just couldn’t fully buy into the romantic connection between the leads. I could definitely feel a strong bond between them, but to me it came across as more brotherly than romantic. And since this is a rom-com, the romance is one of the main focuses, right?
Even so, I gave it an 8.5/10 because overall, it’s very much worth watching!
