Actor Jin Seon-gyu summoned Soran and Philip to his official residence in "The 100-Day Lie," deploying a meticulous psychological battle.

In Episode 12 of tvN's 20th-anniversary special project "The 100-Day Lie," which aired on the 15th, Sato Shinichi (played by Jin Seon-gyu) invited Soran (played by Kim Hyun-joo) and Philip (played by Lee Mu-saeng) to a dinner at his official residence. He pressured the two by sequentially bringing up topics ranging from ordinary food conversations to a family's tragedy and news of Geum Seo-hee's arrest.

While observing Soran and Philip's reactions, Sato Shinichi picked up rice cakes brought in from Gyeam-ri and spoke about what happened there 13 years ago. It was the story of a man (played by Kang Woo-sung, Soran's husband) who did not reveal his comrades' names even at the moment when a gun was pointed at his daughter. Sato mimed pointing a gun at Soran with his finger, revealing cruelty behind his smile.

After telling them that the man only opened his mouth after losing his daughter, Sato mocked his choice, saying, "How futile, isn't it?" When Soran said, "Heaven's net will surely catch those who do evil," conveying that there is always a price for wicked deeds, Sato retorted, "If you act beyond your station, you are the one who will first get caught in heaven's net."

As the dinner continued, Sato's arrest plan was also revealed. He had previously instructed Fukuda (played by Kim Jung-hee) to arrest Geum Seo-hee, and when told that evidence was insufficient, he asserted, "The name Geum Seo-hee itself is evidence." Having deduced the relationship between the two from the fact that Geum Seok-joong's wife had named her deceased daughter Ga-gyeong (played by Kim Yu-jung), Sato sought to observe how Soran and Philip would react to news of Geum Seo-hee's arrest.

Sato informed them that he suspected Geum Seo-hee was a spy and announced that he would search their homes. Jin Seon-gyu revealed Sato's persistence, changing his tone and gaze in brief moments so as not to miss even the slightest reaction from his counterparts.

When the face of the woman Fukuda brought was revealed, Sato became enraged. Instead of Ga-gyeong, whom he had been waiting for, the person who appeared before him was Yamada. Recalling the reactions Soran and Philip had shown when he opened the sender's information earlier upon hearing the phone ring again, Sato realized that the two had participated in an assassination plan targeting him.

The moment Sato realized his daughter Hanako was in danger, the sender exploded before his eyes, adding to the drama's tension. Jin Seon-gyu showcased the peak of the Sato character through this broadcast, drawing praise for doubling the dramatic tension and the enjoyment of the series.

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