Actress Kim Yoo-jung delivered a profound emotional impact to viewers with her tearful performance that captured the character's narrative in "The 100-Day Lie."

In episodes 5 and 6 of tvN's weekend drama "The 100-Day Lie" (screenplay by Ryu Bo-ri / directed by Yoo In-sik, Kim Yun-jin), which aired on the 24th and 25th, Kim Yoo-jung portrayed with density the wounds and sorrow that spy Lee Ga-gyeong had concealed. She naturally connected everything from the desperation of wanting to give up on it all, to the decision to stay, to the moment she finally let out her suppressed emotions.

Kim Yoo-jung poured out the emotions accumulated during the interrogation interpretation process with an agitated voice and rough tone. When confronting Yoo So-ran (played by Kim Hyeon-ju), she acted out the desperation of wanting to live, and in the rain after storming out of the house, she portrayed feelings of grievance and helplessness. She conveyed loneliness by quietly wiping away tears while recalling her childhood, delivering a compelling performance that added persuasiveness to Lee Ga-gyeong's choice to remain as a spy.

In the ending of episode 6, Kim Yoo-jung's explosive emotional acting erupted. In the face of Geum Seok-joong's (played by Kang Woo-sung) death, she revealed shock through trembling hands and stifled sobs, delicately depicting even the helplessness of not knowing how to deliver the news to Yoo So-ran. She confided in Sato Hideo (played by Park Jin-young), saying "I'm not okay," and burst into tears from her embrace, releasing the sorrow she had endured, which moved viewers to tears.

A source commented, "Kim Yoo-jung's strength lies not only in the moments when emotions explode, but also in how convincingly she builds up the process leading to that point. She conveys the character's heart through a face trying to hold back tears and words that are hard to bring out, making one feel even the pain accumulated over time when the emotions finally break. This time as well, she gradually revealed what Lee Ga-gyeong had endured and concealed, adding weight to her final tears."

Kim Yoo-jung is praised for expressing emotions of different textures through tears, from anger poured out externally and loneliness swallowed alone, to sorrow that finally burst forth. She deeply depicted Lee Ga-gyeong's complex inner world with acting that alternated between restraint and explosion.

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