Actor Jin Seon-gyu perfectly portrayed the vicious character "Sato" in "100 Days of Lies," depicting his suspicion toward his son and his shifting of responsibility onto the victims.

In Episode 6 of the tvN weekend drama "100 Days of Lies," which aired on the 25th, Sato (played by Jin Seon-gyu) confronted Geum Seok-jung, a victim of the past Gyeam-ri massacre, while remaining wary of Tae-woong's (played by Park Jin-young) judgment. Jin Seon-gyu depicted Sato's ruthless desire for dominance through various dialogues, ranging from seeking his father's approval to obeying the orders of those in power and the perpetrator's brazen self-rationalization.

Sato's method of dominating others was revealed even more cruelly during his confrontation with Geum Seok-jung. When Seok-jung, who had not seen him for 13 years, called out his former name, "Ishikawa Nobuyuki," and demanded he take responsibility for the massacre, Sato remained unmoved. Instead, he justified his actions by claiming, "I was carrying out a legitimate mission," characterizing the peaceful Manse movement as a riot, and even citing an acquittal.

Sato suddenly raised his voice and mentioned Seok-jung's wife. By asking, "Have you never once thought that this was your fault?" he shifted the blame for the massacre onto Seok-jung. The perpetrator who had driven the villagers to death probed into the guilt of the survivor. Jin Seon-gyu maximized Sato's baseness by transitioning from calm self-justification to sharp attacks, using even his opponent's most painful memories as a weapon. Additionally, he paid attention to the surnames of Geum Seok-jung and Geum Seo-hee and ordered that Seok-jung's personal information records from 13 years ago be retrieved. Furthermore, his persistence in simultaneously investigating his son Hideo's movements and traces of the past created tension for future developments.

In this episode, Jin Seon-gyu portrayed Sato's consistent logic of dominance through his words expressing trust in his son and his accusations directed at the victims. He meticulously depicted the character's contradictions: acknowledging others only when they follow his standards, while suspecting or deflecting responsibility when they oppose him. Critics have praised Jin Seon-gyu for clearly completing Sato's threatening presence by revealing hidden distrust in his conversations with Tae-woong and unwavering confidence without guilt during his confrontation with Seok-jung.

"100 Days of Lies" airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 p.m.
