Kim Yoo-jung and Park Jin-young's '100 Days of Lies' has announced the thrilling and beautiful start of a spy romance.

The production team of tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama '100 Days of Lies' (directed by Yu In-sik and Kim Yun-jin, written by Ryu Bo-ri) revealed stills depicting the 'Gyeongseong Station in 1932', which marks the beginning of the full story, on the 27th. This day raises curiosity about the fateful connections and narratives of five people that will unfold from here.

'100 Days of Lies' is a 100-day spy romance where the top pickpocket of Gyeongseong, who has become a spy, and an elite translator from Jo Seon (총독), meet in the heart of enemy territory. The production team introduced it by saying, "The theme of translation, which simultaneously looks into the truth, lies, and secrets of the speaker, and the setting of a spy planted directly by independence fighters, will deliver suspense and unpredictable fun and emotion unlike anything seen before."

Directed by Yu In-sik, who has produced numerous hits such as the 'Romantic Doctor Kim Sa-bu' series and 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo', the drama is written by Ryu Bo-ri, a screenwriter beloved for her delicate writing in 'Do You Like Brahms?'. Alongside Kim Yoo-jung, Park Jin-young, Kim Hyun-joo, Lee Moo-saeng, and Jin Seon-gyu, many actors known simply by their names for their trustworthiness have joined, including Lee Ki-young, Choi Deok-moon, Seo Jeong-yeon, Kim Do-hyun, and Kim In-kwon.

Amid rising expectations for the first broadcast, the first stills of the five people who will write a 100-day spy romance have been released, drawing attention. In 1932 during the Japanese colonial period, when ordinary life and daily routines continued despite the burning desire for independence, five people with different reasons and purposes stand at Gyeongseong Station, bustling with the footsteps of those who do not know where they came from or where they are going.

First, through the shoulders of police surrounding the platform area, Lee Ga-kyung (played by Kim Yoo-jung) is seen with sparkling eyes full of curiosity. The atmosphere at Gyeongseong Station, where she, known as the top pickpocket in Gyeongseong, punches her daily attendance clock, is busier and noisier than usual. Amidst strict security and warm welcome, the appearance of Kim Tae-woong (played by Park Jin-young), who has just arrived at Gyeongseong Station, also catches the eye. It raises curiosity about the story of why he, who has another name 'Sato Hideo', is returning to Joseon after more than 10 years.

Similarly, for Yu So-ran (played by Kim Hyun-joo), who stepped on her homeland soil for the first time in over a decade, calm sorrow and firm determination intersect. It remains to be seen whose gun she will aim at and why, as she dreams of Joseon's independence and personal revenge. Her reunion with Yu Philip (played by Lee Moo-saeng), her aide and companion, is also captured. Although he is the coldest and most cold-blooded person, his affectionate gaze and gentle smile convey a special feeling for Yu So-ran. Meanwhile, the newly appointed Governor-General Sato Shinichi (played by Jin Seon-gyu) completely changes the air around him just by appearing. His chilling smile as he exchanges greetings with Yu So-ran and Yu Philip creates an inexplicable sense of tension.

In the drama, Kim Yoo-jung plays Lee Ga-kyung, who disguises herself as a translator for Jo Seon (총독) after being the top pickpocket in Gyeongseong for 100 days. While desperately saving money to leave for America, she becomes a spy and infiltrates Jo Seon (총독) due to an irresistible proposal from the Gu-guk-dan (National Salvation Group).

Park Jin-young plays Kim Tae-woong, the new elite translator of Jo Seon (총독), who is also the adopted son of the Governor-General, Sato Hideo. As a perfect master of three languages—English, Japanese, and Korean—he takes on a critical mission as a translator upon returning to Joseon after more than 10 years.

Kim Hyun-joo takes on the role of Yu So-ran, a sniper for the anti-Japanese organization Gu-guk-dan. Entangled in past conflicts with Sato Shinichi, she laundered her identity as a Chinese national and entered into a fake marriage with Yu Philip. During an assassination plot against Sato Shinichi, she proposes a life-or-death deal to Lee Ga-kyung.

Lee Moo-saeng transforms into Yu Philip, the Gyeongseong correspondent for an American media outlet. As a Korean-American, he uses his journalist identity to fully stir up the Governor-General, who is sensitive to international affairs.

Additionally, Jin Seon-gyu portrays Sato Shinichi, the second-in-command of Jo Seon (총독) and the primary target of Gu-guk-dan, depicting the ambition of a man who will do anything for success and career advancement.

'100 Days of Lies' is a period drama that viewers have not seen in a long time, making even fans of dramas eagerly await its release. Above all, the art, sets, costumes, and props that perfectly recreate the atmosphere of 1932 Gyeongseong are expected to add diverse and rich visual delights. The reason why the breathless spy war of spies infiltrating Jo Seon (총독), the heart of Japanese rule, and the brilliant journey of independence fighters who willingly sacrificed their lives for independence and love while enduring dark times are eagerly anticipated.

'100 Days of Lies' is a work selected for the 'Support for Broadcasting Program Production Based on AI and Digital Technology' project by the Korea Communications Commission (KCC) and the Korea Communications Standards Commission (KCA). The first episode will be broadcast at 9:10 PM on October 10.
