"100 Days of Lies" set a new record for its highest viewership, securing a double-digit rating.

According to Nielsen Korea, the 10th episode of tvN's 20th-anniversary special weekend drama "100 Days of Lies" (screenplay by Ryu Bo-ri, directed by Yoo In-sik and Kim Yun-jin), which aired on the 8th, recorded an average viewership of 11.7% and a peak of 13.1% among households in the metropolitan area, and an average of 10.7% and a peak of 12.0% nationwide. It shattered its own previous record to rank first across all channels, including terrestrial broadcasters. It also ranked first across all channels, including terrestrial broadcasters, in the viewership demographic of men and women aged 20 to 49, which is tvN's target audience (based on paid households).

In that day's broadcast, the aftermath of a time bomb explosion became the spark for another incident, heightening the sense of crisis. As Lee Ga-kyung (played by Kim Yu-jung) abandoned her plans to go to the United States and returned to Hee-won, Kim Tae-woong/Sato Hideo (played by Park Jin-young) seemed suspicious of her movements, suspecting her of being a spy and ratcheting up the tension.

At the commemorative banquet for the opening of the Joseon Governor-General's Office postal service, Lee Ga-kyung was on the verge of detonating the time bomb hidden inside a cake. Just then, Sato Shinichi (played by Jin Seon-gyu) disappeared after merely notifying that the banquet had been canceled, leaving only Kim Tae-woong, who had just received news of an assassination attempt on the Governor-General. Lee Ga-kyung pushed the cake trolley as hard and far as she could. At that moment, the bomb exploded, sweeping through the banquet hall, and Kim Tae-woong shielded Lee Ga-kyung with his entire body.

At that time, Sato Shinichi, who had slipped out of the banquet hall, headed to the Governor-General's office. As the elevator doors on the fourth floor opened, someone pointed a knife at Sato Shinichi's neck. It was Song Jeon (played by Jeon Yong-beop), who had infiltrated disguised as a kitchen assistant. In the midst of an intense physical struggle between the two, Sato Shinichi stabbed a knife into Song Jeon's chest. Sato Shinichi asked who was behind it and whether it was the work of the National Salvation Corps. In response, Song Jeon, with his breath fading, uttered "Long live Korean independence" as his final words to Sato Shinichi. Subsequently, Yoo So-ran also rushed up in pursuit to ambush Sato Shinichi. Following the sound of a mysterious gunshot, they found Song Jeon lying on the floor covered in blood and Kim Tae-woong standing before him holding a gun. As a result, Yoo So-ran believed that Kim Tae-woong had killed Song Jeon.

That night, police came to Hee-won accompanied by Kim Tae-woong. Although they claimed they were simply checking on the injured, their actual purpose was to identify the perpetrator of the bomb terror. There were indications that the suspect had been shot in the shoulder in the hallway outside the fourth-floor elevator, and one side of a pearl earring was discovered as evidence. Yoo So-ran and Yoo Pil-ip (played by Lee Mu-saeng) only then realized that one side of the earrings was missing. Yoo So-ran hid her panic and said the other side was in a drawer. The police's suspicion turned into near certainty, and Kim Tae-woong stepped forward, saying he would check it himself. As a strange tension crossed between Kim Tae-woong, Yoo So-ran, and Yoo Pil-ip, a familiar voice was heard from somewhere. It was Lee Ga-kyung, who had returned after boarding the Train to Busan train to leave for the United States.

Lee Ga-kyung deceived the police with pearl earrings she had urgently borrowed from a pawnshop, and drew their attention by exposing her shoulder while stating that Madam (Yoo So-ran) would check it herself. Then Kim Tae-woong said, "That's enough," concluding the situation at that point and leaving with the accompanying police. The three, who narrowly escaped the crisis thanks to Lee Ga-kyung's wit and Kim Tae-woong's tacit approval, collectively let out a sigh of relief. Lee Ga-kyung promised Yoo So-ran, saying, "I can't live in debt," that she would complete her spy mission for which she had received three months' salary from Yoo So-ran, and then leave for the United States afterward.

Sato Shinichi learned through Fukuda (played by Kim Jung-hee) that Kim Tae-woong had accompanied the search of Yoo So-ran's and Yoo Pil-ip's home, and ordered an inquiry into whether anyone in Gyeomam-ri knew about her. His suspicions regarding the relationship between Geum Seok-jung, Geum Seo-hee (Lee Ga-kyung), and Yoo So-ran also grew stronger. Additionally, the previously strained relationship between Lee Ga-kyung and Kim Tae-woong faced a new turning point. Kim Tae-woong, recalling how Lee Ga-kyung had grabbed his hand and pulled him before the bomb exploded, as well as her actions up to that point, became convinced that he was an independence fighter. At the end of the broadcast, a scene was depicted in which Kim Tae-woong approached Lee Ga-kyung and asked, "How should I address you, Ms. Geum Seo-hee? You're a spy, aren't you?" sending heart rates soaring infinitely.

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