“The 100-Day Lie” continues its upward trend, recording a 9% rating.

According to ratings research firm Nielsen Korea on the 19th, tvN’s Saturday-Sunday drama “The 100-Day Lie” recorded a 9% rating (based on paid households) the previous day. It also ranked first across all channels, including terrestrial broadcasters, in the tvN target demographic of men and women aged 20 to 49.

This figure represents a 2 percentage point increase from the 7th% recorded by the previous episode. “The 100-Day Lie,” which started with a 5.3% rating for its first broadcast, is continuing its upward momentum.

Earlier, the perpetrators who kidnapped Lee Ga-kyung (played by Kim Yoo-jung) were revealed to be Yoo Pil-ip (played by Lee Mu-saeng) and members of the National Salvation Corps. It was a scheme devised to test Lee Ga-kyung’s aptitude as a spy.

Furious at the National Salvation Corps’ distrust toward her, Lee Ga-kyung declared that she would quit her spy activities. When Yoo Pil-ip pointed a gun at her, Yoo So-ran instead aimed a gun at Yoo Pil-ip to protect Lee Ga-kyung. She then confessed her past of losing her daughter to the Chief of Military Affairs, pleading, “I need you.” Consequently, Lee Ga-kyung decided to resume her spy activities.

Subsequently, Lee Ga-kyung, who had injured her ankle, was led by Sato Hideo to Han Seong-han (Rep.). This place was a secret base of the National Salvation Corps operated by corps member Gwak Un-hak (played by Choi Deok-mun). Unlike Lee Ga-kyung, who was tense about her identity being exposed, Sato Hideo showed affectionate behavior, such as personally bandaging her ankle.

Meanwhile, the National Salvation Corps prepared a second assassination operation against Sato Shinichi. The members obtained information that Sato Shinichi would attend the award ceremony for the Joseon Painting Exhibition and set up an ambush along his route of travel. However, Lee Ga-kyung later confirmed that Sato Shinichi’s schedule was not to give a speech at the award ceremony, but to report to the Chief of Military Affairs.

Lee Ga-kyung urgently informed Yoo Pil-ip of this fact, but the assassination operation was already underway. Ultimately, the National Salvation Corps’ plan unfolded in an unexpected direction. Jang Jung-yup (played by Lee Do-gun) was in the vehicle where Sato Shinichi was supposed to be, and Han Cheol-ryong (played by Kim In-kwon), who attempted the assassination, was shot and fell. Yoo So-ran also found herself in a crisis as her location was exposed to Fukuda (played by Kim Jung-hee) during the gunfight.

Adding to this, Lee Ga-kyung faced Sato Hideo while talking on the phone with Yoo Pil-ip, putting her identity as a spy at risk of being exposed. The tension reached its peak as a meaningful smile from Sato Shinichi was captured as he descended the steps of the Governor-General’s Office toward the end of the broadcast.

“The 100-Day Lie” airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 p.m.
