Actress Kouri Yuka made her presence felt in 'The 100-Day Lie.'

In the episodes of 'The 100-Day Lie' broadcast on tvN on October 31 and November 1, actress Kouri Yuka appeared, delivering a stellar performance as Yamada Hanako, the secretary to the Political Director-General of the Government-General of Korea.

In the drama, Yamada secured her job through nepotism thanks to her uncle, the Chief of the Home Affairs Division at the Government-General. She approaches Kim Tae-woong (played by Park Jin-young), the son of Political Director-General Sato Shinichi (played by Jin Seon-gyu), harboring romantic feelings for him. Yamada is portrayed as a character who is highly wary yet somewhat clumsy, and she unknowingly ends up aiding Lee Ga-kyung's (played by Kim Yoo-jung) activities as a spy.

In the episode aired that day, Yamada went to collect mail delivered to the Political Director-General's office and ran into Lee Ga-kyung. She looked at her with a displeased expression as Lee greeted her cheerfully. However, when Lee deliberately mentioned Kim Tae-woong's name, Yamada immediately brightened up. Eager to hear more about him, she even offered chocolate, showing a changed attitude. Kouri Yuka perfectly depicted Yamada's innocent side, acting in a way that transparently revealed her emotions driven by love.

Yamada, who was completely taken in by Lee Ga-kyung's trick of trying to open the mail without directly touching it, was greatly flustered after accidentally opening the envelope. Her appearance of being completely deceived while Lee placated her with a natural demeanor elicited laughter from viewers. Subsequently, the scene where Yamada stood at a loss before Sato, who discovered that some of the contents inside the envelope were missing, rapidly heightened the tension in the drama.

Yamada's role in unintentionally aiding Lee Ga-kyung's spy activities continued. Upon learning of Kim Tae-woong's marriage news, Yamada was deeply disappointed and lamented her misfortune to Lee Ga-kyung. In the process, she inadvertently leaked information about setting a mousetrap in the ventilation shaft of the women's restroom. Lee Ga-kyung, who had hidden smuggled bombs in the women's restroom, jumped up and headed back to the Government-General building. The image of Yamada, unaware of what was happening, endlessly calling out Kim Tae-woong's name while feeling upset left a strong impact.

'The 100-Day Lie,' featuring Kouri Yuka, airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 p.m. on tvN.
