Yi-yeol’s journey comes to a resonating conclusion in To My Beloved Thief finale and ending

The finale of To My Beloved Thief starts with chaos erupting at the palace after Jae-i arrives to inform Yi-yeol about Sa-hyeong’s escape. After his confrontation with his father, Sa-hyeong, Jae-i understood that something might be wrong. After he reached the location where his father was kept, he found that he had escaped.

He also understood that Sa-hyeong would now be attacking Eun-jo. On the other hand, Sa-hyeong holds a sword to Eun-jo’s neck. He is angry that she ruined his plan. He then takes her as a captive, as he understood Eun-jo could be his ticket to getting back the position he wanted initially. Though Eun-jo understood the danger she was in, she kept her mind calm and pretended to be scared so that Sa-hyeong would not get suspicious.

He then pushes the makeup powder that was present in the room into the fire so that it can create a toxic gas. Sa-hyeong also tells Eun-jo that her father was not killed by the king. It was Sa-hyeong who killed Eun-jo’s father as part of his plan. The toxic gas begins to take effect, with Sa-hyeong coughing up blood. Eun-jo is also impacted by the gas. The gas paralyzes the entire body and leads to death. Right at that moment, Yi-yeol arrives and takes Eun-jo away.

This episode of To My Beloved Thief continues with Eun-jo’s health deteriorating. The doctor arrives; however, Eun-jo’s situation seems to be taking a negative turn. Yi-yeol begins to lose hope. Eun-jo’s family is informed. Her mother and brother arrive right away to take care of her. People begin to worry about Eun-jo’s health as days pass by.

Yi-yeol stays by Eun-jo’s side through it all. In a flashback scene, the viewers are taken back to the time when Eun-jo and Yi-yeol were spending time together during the lantern festival. It is revealed that Yi-yeol searched for the lantern on which Eun-jo wrote about her wish.

He found the lantern where she wrote that she wishes to be with Yi-yeol in the next life. Eun-jo’s wishes move Yi-yeol, as he wants to be with her even in this life as well. Back to the present, Eun-jo finally regains her consciousness after days.

This episode of To My Beloved Thief continues with Hae-rim arriving at Eun-jo’s house to check up on her. Eun-jo’s brother tells her that she is still at the palace. As Hae-rim is about to leave, her dress gets stuck, and she starts to fall down. Eun-jo’s brother is able to catch her right in time.

It is then revealed that Eun-jo’s brother is the scholar supporting Gil Dong. He was pretending not to know anything. He did in order to protect his sister and mother. On the other hand, Yi-yeol takes care of Eun-ju so that she regains her health quickly. Eun-jo then tells Yi-yeol that she tore the bracelet. She thinks that it might have prevented the soul swapping during the time when Sa-hyeong took her captive.

Yi-yeol is quite disappointed that now he will not be able to swap their souls when Eun-jo is in danger. This episode continues with Sa-hyeong regaining consciousness and sending a message to Eun-jo that the revenge is not over. However, Eun-jo writes back to him. Eun-jo's letter makes Sa-hyeong understand that he has lost. He decides to end his life.

Jae-i is informed about Sa-hyeong’s death. Though he is angry at the situation that his father created, he also mourns his loss. Yi-yeol decides to visit Jae-i, during which Jae-i opens up about his birth. He was born to a courtesan. This made him hide his low birth.

He also did not let himself get attached to anyone in the house for this reason. However, watching Eun-jo keep fighting despite her situation pushed him to understand his faults. Jae-i then leaves the country to have a fresh start. He also decides not to inform Eun-jo about his departure.

At the end of this episode of To My Beloved Thief, Yi-yeol tells Eun-jo to wait for him so that she can become the only thing that he must protect. He wants to be with her; however, Yi-yeol’s title prevents them from getting married.

Yi-yeol eventually decides to give the title of king away to Ban, while the previous king gets treatment for his addiction. At the very end, Yi-yeol is able to come to Eun-jo as just a simple man to be with her. It is also revealed that Eun-jo was the one who saved Yi-yeol from drowning while he was a child.
