In "The 100-Day Lie," Kim Yoo-jung and Park Jin-young’s photo studio outing is set to bring a sense of anticipation to viewers.

On the 22nd, ahead of the broadcast of Episode 5, the production team of tvN’s 20th-anniversary special project weekend drama "The 100-Day Lie" (directed by Yoo In-sik and Kim Yun-jin, written by Ryu Bo-ri, produced by Studio Dragon and Romantic Crew) released stills of Lee Ga-kyung (played by Kim Yoo-jung) and Sato Hideo / Kim Tae-woong (played by Park Jin-young) visiting a photo studio together, drawing attention.

A sense of inexplicable anticipation blossoms between Lee Ga-kyung and Sato Hideo, captured at a photo studio in Jongno. Sato Hideo’s warm gaze, which naturally turns toward Lee Ga-kyung’s bright smile as she sits before the camera, is itself thrilling.

According to sources, the noticeably different atmosphere, reflecting their closer distance, foreshadows new anticipation. The two have been constantly entangled in suspicion and wariness, from their first meeting at Gyeongseong Station to encountering each other as a translator trainee and an interpreter for the Governor-General’s Office. What circumstances led them to be together under the photo studio’s blackout curtain this time? Lee Ga-kyung and Sato Hideo’s unexpected outing stirs curiosity.

The production team stated, "In Episode 5, airing on Saturday the 24th, Lee Ga-gyeong-eun (총독) Division Chief Gyeong Mu (Director) Fukuda (played by Kim Jung-hee) orders [them] to handle the interrogation translation for a captured independence activist, plunging them into confusion. Please look forward to what new turn Lee Ga-kyung’s survival story as an informant will take."

Meanwhile, "The 100-Day Lie" surpassed a peak viewership rating of 10% in Episode 4, ranking first across all channels. It also recorded the top spot among tvN’s target demographic of men and women aged 20 to 49 across all channels, including terrestrial broadcasters (based on Nielsen Korea paid platform data). Additionally, it ranked fourth in the Global Top 10 Non-English Shows category, according to Tudum, Netflix’s official ranking site (as of October 12–18).

According to Good Data Corporation’s FUNdex, "The 100-Day Lie" ranked second in the TV-OTT drama buzz category. In the actor buzz category, Kim Yoo-jung (second) and Park Jin-young (third) both secured top positions (as of October 12–18).

Episode 5 will air at 9:10 p.m. on Saturday the 24th.
