'100 Days of Lies' production team expressed strong confidence in the exceptional chemistry between its two leads, Kim Yoo-jung and Park Jin-young (of GOT7).

On the afternoon of the 16th, a press conference for tvN's 'Creator Talk 2026' was held at the CJ ENM Center in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. Attendees included Park Sang-hyuk, BU head of Platform Business Media at CJ ENM; Jang Sin-ae, CP of the new drama '100 Days of Lies'; director Ham Seung-hoon, co-director of 'Gift'; Kim Ho-jun, CP of 'My Guilty Human'; Hong Jin-ju, PD of the variety show 'Undercover Chef'; and Bang Geul-i, PD of the 'Iron Girl Squad' series.

On this day, BU head Park Sang-hyuk highlighted the new Saturday-Sunday drama '100 Days of Lies' as tvN's most anticipated fall title. The story follows Lee Ga-kyung (played by Kim Yoo-jung), Gyeongseong's top pickpocket posing as a spy, and Kim Tae-woong (played by Park Jin-young in the role of Sato Hideo), an elite interpreter from the Jo Seon (총독) faction. The two meet at the heart of enemy territory, unfolding a 100-day espionage romance. Director Yoo In-sik, known for his outstanding direction in the 'Romantic Doctor Kim Sun-woo' series and 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo', takes the helm, while writer Ryu Bo-ri, acclaimed for her delicate writing in works such as 'Are You Listening to Brahms?', is behind the script. The pairing of Kim Yoo-jung and Park Jin-young further boosts expectations.

'100 Days of Lies' CP Jang Sin-ae commented on the chemistry between Kim Yoo-jung and Park Jin-young: "To put it simply, they start in a 'hate relationship.' Ga-kyung enters the Governor-General's Office hiding her intentions as a spy, where she meets Tae-woong. Tae-woong is actually of Korean descent but lives as an adopted Japanese son, carrying both identity confusion and a desire to be recognized. Ga-kyung and Tae-woong meet with their own agendas, suspecting and guarding against each other. However, all of them are youths living through that era, grappling with worries, conflicts, and dilemmas. Though their relationship begins in suspicion, they gradually come to trust one another, open their hearts, and the series will vividly portray this process of change."

She continued, "Their story eventually intertwines with the narratives of adults, unfolding a saga of the independence movement. Of course, there is romance that makes them flutter, but it is not merely a simple romance; it also depicts their intense struggle to push through the hardships within it. Kim Yoo-jung and Park Jin-young are set to express a wide range of emotions, like a comprehensive gift set. We would appreciate your viewership on broadcast."

'100 Days of Lies' will premiere on October 10 at 9:10 p.m.
