A reformed art forger turned painter in Seoul is pulled back into danger when a series of high-profile thefts around the globe lead an FBI agent from his past to his doorstep—only to discover the mastermind is his former mentor, determined to force him back into a life of crime. Now, he must decide between the man he once was and the man he longs to become.

SYNOPSIS:

In Seoul, Han Wol Min, once one of the most gifted art forgers in the criminal underworld, has reinvented himself as a legitimate painter. He lives quietly, creating and selling original works on his own terms—until a wave of high-profile art thefts around the globe draws the attention of the FBI.

Supervisory Special Agent Jordyn Brooks, the woman Wol Min silently loved and lost years ago, arrives in Seoul to investigate. Unbeknownst to her, her arrival was carefully orchestrated by The Curator—Wol Min’s former mentor and partner in crime—who is determined to lure him back into his old life. Through stolen masterpieces and calculated psychological games, The Curator manipulates Wol Min into facing not only the temptations of his past but also the unresolved emotions tied to Jordyn.

As Wol Min and Jordyn navigate a dangerous puzzle of art, theft, and betrayal, old wounds and unspoken feelings resurface. Each theft raises the stakes, forcing them to question loyalty, morality, and trust. For Wol Min, every choice edges him closer to the man he fears he could become—or the man he hopes to be. For Jordyn, the case blurs the line between duty and desire, as she must decide whether to protect the law or the man she never truly let go of.

The Art of Thieves is a high-stakes, emotionally charged drama blending international crime, romance, and redemption—an exploration of love, choice, and the cost of second chances in a world where every masterpiece comes with a price.
