In "100 Days of Lies," Park Jin-young's character aimed a gun at Kim Yoo-jung's character.

Episode 12 of the tvN 20th Anniversary Special Project weekend drama "100 Days of Lies" (screenplay by Ryu Bo-ri, directed by Yoo In-sik and Kim Yun-jin), which aired on the 15th, recorded an average rating of 11.1% and a peak of 12.1% among households in the metropolitan area, and an average of 10.4% and a peak of 11.3% nationwide. It maintained its No. 1 position across all channels during the same time slot, including terrestrial broadcasters. It also firmly held the No. 1 spot in the ratings for the tvN target demographic of men and women aged 20 to 49 across all channels (based on Nielsen Korea paid platform data).

In that day's broadcast, the Ku-guk-dan unit launched a new bomb operation using a pneumatic tube system, unfolding a tense situation as they moved between the Government-General of Chosen and the official residence of Sato Shiniichi (played by Jin Seon-gyu). Amidst repeated crises and variables, an unexpected explosion caused unforeseen cracks in the relationship between Lee Ga-kyung (played by Kim Yoo-jung) and Kim Tae-woong/Sato Hideo (played by Park Jin-young).

Finally, Yu So-ran (played by Kim Hyun-joo) and Yu Philip (played by Lee Mu-saeng) entered Sato Shiniichi's official residence. However, the pair's plan did not unfold as expected from the start. They had tried to lure Sato Shiniichi into his study but failed. A subtle tension flowed between Sato Shiniichi, Yu So-ran, and Yu Philip as they sat across from each other at an elaborate dinner table. While continuing a conversation about food, Sato Shiniichi explained the recipe for "Chutang Dubutguk" (a soup made with loaches and tofu). He stated that loaches hide inside the tofu to escape hot water, saying, "I have always been curious about this loach. Why does it think it can endure being inside the tofu when the water is boiling?" uttering cryptic words.

The psychological battle among the three intensified. Sato Shiniichi directly mentioned the Gyeam-ri incident and compared Geum Seok-jung (played by Gam Woo-sung), who chose his beliefs over his children, to a loach. "He believed that if he just held on, he could protect his daughter by keeping his beliefs. But in the end, he failed to protect either his daughter or his beliefs," Sato Shiniichi said with cynical remarks, causing Yu So-ran's composure to begin to waver. Yu So-ran responded with a pointed remark: "The heavens do not spare those who commit crimes" (a reference to the idiom "Heavenly retribution is inevitable").

Subsequently, the pneumatic tube capsule arrived at the official residence and was handed to Sato Shiniichi. The moment he confirmed that the name of Geum Seok-jung's daughter was "Geum Seo-hee," Sato Shiniichi had already targeted Lee Ga-kyung as his next objective. It was a plan to shake Yu So-ran by exploiting the special relationship between the two. However, when the masked figure removed their mask, it was not Geum Seo-hee (Lee Ga-kyung), but Yamada (played by Kouri Yuka), Sato Shiniichi's secretary, who appeared. Fukuda, who had made a massive mistake at a critical moment, was flustered, and Sato Shiniichi could not hide his anger.

Just 20 minutes earlier, Lee Ga-kyung, who had been preparing the operation at the Government-General, noticed something suspicious. She lured Yamada, who was dressed similarly to her, into the archive room to evade the police. Having once again used her wit to escape a crisis, Lee Ga-kyung infiltrated the pneumatic tube room while Park Se-hwan took advantage of Mitairi (played by Go Han-min) being knocked unconscious. The mission was to be completed by sending bombs to the official residences of the Governor-General and the Political Advisor. At that moment, Kim Tae-woong's voice could be heard from outside the door, telling them to run away from the police. Park Se-hwan said that Kim Tae-woong had come to arrest them, but Lee Ga-kyung was shaken by his voice calling her name.

Meanwhile, after sending the bomb to Sato Shiniichi's official residence, Park Se-hwan made a phone call. However, a child's voice could be heard on the other end of the line. It was Kim Tae-woong's younger sister, Sato Hanako. Lee Ga-kyung, realizing the situation late, told them not to open the pneumatic tube capsule and to leave the study. She urgently brought Kim Tae-woong over so that Sato Hanako would not be caught in the explosion, handing him the receiver. At the same time, Yu So-ran, Yu Philip, and Sato Shiniichi, who were staying in the official residence, also seemed to sense the crisis and rushed to the study together. At that moment, the bomb exploded, shaking the official residence. As the sound of the explosion came through the receiver, Kim Tae-woong aimed his gun at Lee Ga-kyung, bringing the tension to its peak.

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