In the third episode of KBS2TV's 'Beloved Bandit' (directed by Ham Young-gul, Lee Ga-ram/written by Lee Sun), which aired on the night of the 10th at 9:20 PM, Lee Yeol (played by Moon Sang-min) experiences a peculiar emotion towards Hong Eun-jo (played by Nam Ji-hyun) as she helps patients.
During the episode, Lee Yeol, who had left the temple, noticed a line of patients waiting. Curious, he asked, "Can you receive treatment just by standing in line like this?" His bodyguard, Dae-chu (played by Lee Seung-woo), replied, "If you just say the word, Your Highness, you can receive treatment without waiting in line."
Lee Yeol instructed him to be quiet, startling Dae-chu. At that moment, a patient in line had a seizure and collapsed. Hong Eun-jo, who rushed over in surprise, immediately began to calm the patient.
Lee Yeol, also surprised, ran to the patient and felt a strange emotion as he watched Hong Eun-jo struggle to help. As Hong Eun-jo continued to calm the patient, saying, "Let's breathe together," Lee Yeol covered the patient's legs with his clothes and asked, "Do we just need to hold on until the doctor arrives?" assisting in calming the situation.
When the doctor arrived and moved the patient, Hong Eun-jo followed. Lee Yeol watched her in a daze. Later, Hong Eun-jo, unaware that Lee Yeol was a prince, assumed he was someone close to the prince who had left the temple. Lee Yeol asked Hong Eun-jo about the rumors regarding the prince, curious about what the people thought of him. Hong Eun-jo replied, "They say he is very handsome but a playboy who changes women every night."
Offended by the term 'playboy,' Lee Yeol insisted, "That's not true," and said, "It's the first time," leaving Hong Eun-jo flustered. Surprised, Hong Eun-jo apologized, "I should have been more careful with my words," while Lee Yeol continued to emphasize that he was not a playboy, sweating nervously.
