Nam Ji-hyun and Moon Sang-min will star in the KBS2 weekend drama 'Eun-ae Haneun Dojeoknim-a,' which premieres in 2026. The drama will air its first episode on January 3 at 9:20 PM.

The previous show, 'Last Summer,' ended on the 7th of last month, recording a final episode viewership rating of 1.7%, failing to recover KBS2's poor performance. Accordingly, 'Eun-ae Haneun Dojeoknim-a' is expected to restore viewership ratings.

'Eun-ae Haneun Dojeoknim-a' highlights the romance between Hong Eun-jo (played by Nam Ji-hyun) and Crown Prince Lee Yeol (played by Moon Sang-min) through the release of a highlight video. The highlight video starts with rumors about the thief Gil-dong, who is nicknamed 'Friend on the Road,' and whose whereabouts are shrouded in mystery.

Crown Prince Lee Yeol, while concealing his intelligence, becomes engrossed in a role as an official and joins the pursuit of Gil-dong. In the process, he unexpectedly finds himself in trouble due to a sudden splash of water. At this moment, Hong Eun-jo appears like a princess on a white horse, leading to their fateful encounter.

Hong Eun-jo is characterized by her ability to stand firm against the strong while being warm towards the weak. After their intense first meeting, they gradually develop feelings for each other, but Hong Eun-jo holds a secret: she is actually the thief Gil-dong.

During the day, Hong Eun-jo works as a physician caring for the weak, and at night, she continues her small-time thievery by robbing corrupt officials' storages. She is anxious to keep her double life a secret. Lee Yeol shows his straightforward nature by asking, "Is there a man who loves?"

The two characters maintain a precarious relationship, caught between the struggle to keep their identities hidden and their growing attraction to each other. The drama also addresses the story of Lim Jae-i (played by Hong Min-ki) and Shin Hae-rim (played by Han So-eun).

There is growing interest in how the romance of these youth entangled in love, jealousy, and competition will unfold. Lee Yeol's heartfelt desire to be a 'blessing' for Hong Eun-jo amidst her misfortunes is expected to provide viewers with emotional immersion.

'Eun-ae Haneun Dojeoknim-a' will premiere on January 3 at 9:20 PM, and it is anticipated to deliver deep engagement for the audience.
