Actress Kim Yoo-jung revealed that she was able to study a foreign language through “100 Days of Lies.”

The production press conference for tvN’s new Saturday-Sunday drama “100 Days of Lies” (directed by Yoo In-sik and Kim Yun-jin, written by Ryu Bo-ri), a special project marking tvN’s 20th anniversary, was held on the afternoon of the 29th at CGV Yongsan iPark Mall on Han River-daero in Yongsan-gu, Seoul. Director Yoo In-sik and actors Kim Yoo-jung, Park Jin-young, Kim Hyeon-ju, Lee Mu-seong, and Jin Sun-kyu attended the event.

Kim Yoo-jung explained her decision to join “100 Days of Lies” after a one-year hiatus since “Dear X,” saying, “I participated after seeing the writer, director, and actors. I felt it would be an honor just to be part of this project. The character I play, Ga-kyung, is in her early 20s, so I was curious about the growth story of a young person living through that era.”

Kim Yoo-jung added, “Regarding foreign language acting, I was initially scared, but as I studied it, I realized it would be good for me. I thought, when else would I have such an opportunity? Since each character’s demeanor differs when speaking a different language, it will become another point of interest.”

“100 Days of Lies” is a 100-day spy romance that unfolds as Gyeongseong’s top pickpocket, turned secret agent, and an elite interpreter from the Jo Seon (총독) bureau face off in the heart of enemy territory. Director Yoo In-sik, who directed “Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim” and “Extraordinary Attorney Woo,” is at the helm, while writer Ryu Bo-ri, known for “Do You Like Brahms?,” added to the work’s quality.

In the drama, Kim Yoo-jung plays Lee Ga-kyung, who goes undercover as an interpreter trainee for the Jo Seon (총독) bureau for 100 days after being Gyeongseong’s top pickpocket. Park Jin-young portrays Sato Hideo (played by Kim Tae-ung), an elite interpreter from the Jo Seon (총독) bureau.

Kim Hyeon-ju plays Yoo So-ran, a sniper for the anti-Japanese organization Kukukdan and the decisive figure who infiltrates Lee Ga-kyung into the Jo Seon (총독) bureau. Lee Mu-seong plays Yoo Philip, an American correspondent of Korean descent, while Jin Sun-kyu portrays Sato Shinichi, the Chief of Civil Affairs for the Jo Seon (총독) bureau.

“100 Days of Lies” will air its first episode at 9:10 p.m. on October 10.
