Romantic Night Out: Nam Ji-hyun and Moon Sang-min's Love Story Unfolds in 'Beloved Bandit'

Nam Ji-hyun and Moon Sang-min embark on a romantic journey in 'Beloved Bandit'.

The 9th episode of KBS 2TV's weekend mini-series 'Beloved Bandit', airing on the 31st, features a thrilling night outing for Hong Eun-jo (played by Nam Ji-hyun) and Lee Yeol (played by Moon Sang-min). The show's ratings have been on the rise, starting at 4.3% for the first episode and climbing to 7.1% by the 8th episode.

After Hong Eun-jo's broken engagement, her relationship with Lee Yeol seemed to be heading towards a proposal, but unexpected opposition has put a halt to their plans. Hong Min-jik (played by Kim Seok-hoon), upon hearing of Lee Yeol's proposal, confronts him, expressing his firm stance as a father, unwilling to send his daughter into the dangers of the royal court.

Meanwhile, Hong Eun-jo, while visiting a temple with her mother Chun-seom (played by Seo Young-hee), encounters a nun (played by Han Ji-hye) who reveals a shocking story. She learns of a deep-seated feud between Lee Yeol's brother, the current king Lee Gyu (played by Ha Seok-jin), and their father, which led to the downfall of their family in the past.

As fate seems to test their relationship, newly released photos show Hong Eun-jo and Lee Yeol enjoying a night festival under the beautiful moonlight, capturing attention. The two stroll through a marketplace adorned with lotus lanterns, exuding a romantic atmosphere.

Particularly intriguing is the single wish they can write on a sky lantern. As Hong Eun-jo ponders with a brush in hand, viewers are curious about what wish she will make and whether it will come true.

'Beloved Bandit' airs at 9:20 PM.
