In “100 Days of Lies,” Kim Yoo-jung and Park Jin-young confirmed their feelings for one another by calling each other by name.

According to Nielsen Korea, the ratings agency, Episode 11 of tvN’s 20th Anniversary Special Project weekend drama “100 Days of Lies” (directed by Yoo In-sik and Kim Yun-jin, written by Ryu Bo-ri, produced by Studio Dragon and Romantic Crew), which aired on the 14th, recorded a viewership rate of 8.7% with a peak of 9.9% among households in the metropolitan area, and an average of 8.0% with a peak of 9.3% among nationwide households. It ranked first across all channels, including terrestrial broadcasters, during the same time slot. It also secured the top spot among all channels, including terrestrial broadcasters, in the tvN target demographic of men and women aged 20 to 49.

On this day, Kim Tae-woong/Sato Hideo’s (played by Park Jin-young) suspicion toward Lee Ga-gyeong (played by Kim Yoo-jung) solidified into certainty. The shift in the two characters from “Geum Seo-hee” and “Sato Hideo” to “Lee Ga-gyeong” and “Kim Tae-woong,” finally facing each other with truth after shedding lies and suspicion, heightened the sense of anticipation.

Kim Tae-woong suspected Lee Ga-gyeong of being a spy for the National Salvation Corps and pressed her about her identity. He revealed his confused feelings toward Lee Ga-gyeong by saying, “I wish you were the spy.” Above all, he could not hide his worry and anxiety after learning that his father and Fukuda (played by Kim Jung-hee) had been tracking a certain woman from the National Salvation Corps following the recent bomb terror incident at the Governor-General’s Office. Kim Tae-woong shared this with Lee Ga-gyeong and said, “Be careful, Ms. Geum Seo-hee.” Lee Ga-gyeong, who had been pretending not to know, felt her heart stir at his sincere words of wanting to save her.

However, Yoo So-ran (played by Kim Hyun-joo) and Yoo Philip (played by Lee Mu-saeng), upon hearing this, became even more wary of Kim Tae-woong. The two warned Lee Ga-gyeong, saying, “This is a trick to make you trust them so they can catch us,” urging her not to waver or be deceived. Just then, Kim Tae-woong unexpectedly showed up at Hee-won again without notice. Yoo Philip sat side by side with Lee Ga-gyeong conspicuously and engaged in subtle tension, but Kim Tae-woong was already convinced that the relationship between the two was a lie. Instead, he spoke about their dedication to independence, asking, “Do you think people can change?” with a complex sentiment. Lee Ga-gyeong, facing a similar question directed at herself, looked into Kim Tae-woong’s eyes and answered, “Yes, I think they can,” hinting at his transformation.

Lee Ga-gyeong visited Tomag Village after a long time. It happened to be the day Kim Tae-woong came to teach Hangul to Bang Kkot-nim (played by Kim Ra-hee). In another unexpected encounter, her identity as a spy was exposed, along with her name and origin. As Lee Ga-gyeong tried to hide her identity and leave, Kim Tae-woong said, “It is nice to meet you, Ms. Lee Ga-gyeong,” and requested a handshake as if they were meeting for the first time. Amidst this, mysterious uninvited guests stormed into the peaceful Tomag Village. They were employees of Chosil Textiles, run by pro-Japanese collaborator Kim Seung-eok (played by Lee Gi-young), who had come to deliver eviction notices to the residents.

Kim Tae-woong stepped in to mediate the situation and stop the threats and violence directed at the residents. At that moment, unexpectedly, one of the Chosil Textiles employees recognized Kim Tae-woong, revealing that he was Kim Seung-eok’s son-in-law and the son of the Chief Political Inspector. The gaze of the Tomag Village residents immediately turned cold. Lee Ga-gyeong, watching this scene, tried to shield Kim Tae-woong, but even Inoma (played by Hong Sa-bin) hurled harsh words at him. Toward the end of the broadcast, Kim Tae-woong asked for trust as he would try to persuade President Kim Seung-eok about the matter in Gyodang-ri, and asked, “Lee Ga-gyeong suits you much better than Geum Seo-hee. May I call you Lee Ga-gyeong?” In response, Lee Ga-gyeong answered, “Yes, Interpreter Kim Tae-woong,” while becoming aware of her feelings, wanting to exist as her true self without lies in front of Kim Tae-woong.

Meanwhile, Sato Shinichi (played by Jin Sun-kyu), consumed with anger, began to relentlessly dig for the truth. First, he suspected the relationship between Yoo So-ran and Geum Seok-jung (played by Kam Woo-sung) and ordered an inquiry into whether anyone in Gyeam-ri knew Yoo So-ran. Residents, sensing something suspicious about the Japanese police visit, unanimously lied saying they did not know. However, tension rose as it was revealed that the name of Geum Seok-jung’s daughter was “Geum Seo-hee,” just as Sato Shinichi had suspected. The scene depicted Sato Shinichi inviting Yoo So-ran and Yoo Philip to the residence, foreshadowing another crisis.
