To My Beloved Thief Episode 15 Recap
Episode 15 opens with an unexpected scene where the King is baffled. Eun-jo and Yi Yeol step out together from the store and to his surprise the King wonders why. He and his men were thinking Gil Dong was inside the store. Before the King could process what’s on, Yi Yeol tries to confront the King about the poisonous flower and realises that his brother actually has no clue that he’s gone mad. Right then, a soldier rushes with news that Gil Dong is captured.
The whole party runs to the marketplace. They see something that really surprises them. The streets are filled with Gil Dong masks and lanterns which is a pretty bold way to show people support him. This is not a place where people are trying to hide. It is a message. The King gets very angry. He says that every single person who is supporting Gil Dong should be killed, because he thinks what they are doing is a crime against him.
Yi Yeol steps in away and says that these people have done nothing wrong they are just regular citizens. He also says that the King is being cruel for no reason it is because something is wrong with him not because he is thinking clearly. Yi Yeol says out that the King is not. in his right mind anymore.

The King lashes out and his instability comes right in front of his men. Uh Oh. He hallucinates the tiger and thankfully his men listen to Yi Yeol’s order and somehow manipulate the King to reach the palace. Over there, they lock the palace doors and a sword fight happens between Yi Yeol and the King. As expected, the King is defeated.
Eun-jo enters the scene and speaks gently to him. She explains about the delusions and brings the King to senses. Her words pierce the King and he regrets for ruining his whole life trusting random people. As dawn arrives, the abdication begins, showing a sign of new country and new law.
Meanwhile, Sa-hyeong is arrested on the basis of poisoning the King, thanks to Jae-i who steps forward as the witness. Given Jae-i isn’t really a bad guy, he is released. As he says bye to his father, their conversation makes Sa-hyeong learn that Gil Dong is Eun-jo and he wishes his revenge.
Yi Yeol becomes the King and arduously plans out the next steps. Eun-jo returns to Hyeminseo and resumes work. Their duties keep them apart more. One night, however, she visits him at the palace. The reunion is tender and we viewers have a beautiful kiss scene.
Yet peace does not come easily. Yi Yeol wakes up from a dream really shaken and out of breath. Eun-jo holds him tight until he calms down. In that moment they finally get the strange truth. Their souls have been switching whenever one of them is in danger. It is not by chance. It is to keep them safe.
Eun-jo leaves him to rest and starts walking. Sa-hyeong comes out of the shadows with a sword, in his hand. At that scary moment both Eun-jo and Yi Yeols bracelets fall off their wrists. The thing that kept them breaks. The soul switching stops.. It ends with a big scare.
