KBS's 'To My Beloved Thief': Nam Ji-hyun and Moon Sang-min to Lead 2026 Fantasy Sageuk
KBS has announced its new fantasy sageuk, 'To My Beloved Thief,' starring Nam Ji-hyun, Moon Sang-min, Hong Min-ki, and Han So-eun, set to premiere on January 3, 2026.
A new year brings a new twist to historical drama. KBS is set to premiere its body-swap fantasy sageuk, ‘To My Beloved Thief’, on January 3, 2026. The network recently unveiled character posters showcasing its four leads: Nam Ji-hyun and Moon Sang-min, who are poised to lead the cast in this new adventure.
A Blend of Veteran and Rising Stars
The drama’s lineup features a compelling mix of talent. Nam Ji-hyun, known for her reliable performances in shows like ‘Good Partner’, is paired with Moon Sang-min, a fast-rising star from ‘Cinderella at 2 AM’. They're joined by Hong Min-ki (Trigger) and Han So-eun (The Haunted Palace), rounding out a dynamic main cast. According to media reports, the new posters highlight each character's distinct personality, building anticipation for their on-screen chemistry.
A Fresh Take on a Traditional Genre
‘To My Beloved Thief’ moves beyond the typical historical drama by weaving in a 'body-swap' element, positioning it as a fantasy adventure. The project is helmed by PD Ham Young-geol, whose past work includes ‘The True Love’. This genre-bending approach appears to be a strategic effort by KBS to appeal to younger audiences by infusing a classic genre with modern fantasy tropes.
