The storyline of To My Beloved Thief that hook viewers

The story follows Hong Eun-jo, who has a traumatic past. Her father was a nobleman, and her mother came from a humbler beginning. This helps her comprehend social discrimination. During the day, she works as a medical practitioner and looks after the sick, and at night, she turns into a thief. She steals resources from the rich and gives them to the needy, becoming the talk of the town.

Meanwhile, the prince Ye Yeol wants to find out who this thief is and does not realize it is the same woman he has fallen in love with. The series has several plot twists that can shake the bigger premise. One of the themes is the swapping of souls into each other's bodies, forcing them to live each other's lives. This will bring more chaos to their love story and make it more engaging. It will also bring hilarious moments and serious drama.
