Scheduled to air in the latter half of 2026 on tvN, '100 Days of Lies' is a spy romance set in the Japanese colonial era. The drama follows the dangerous and thrilling love story between Gyeongseong's top pickpocket, who infiltrates the Japanese Government-General of Korea as an interpreter, and the adopted son of the Chief of Political Affairs, who is a new elite interpreter. The cast includes Kim Yoo-jung, Park Jin-young, Kim Hyun-joo, Lee Moo-saeng, and Jin Sun-kyu.
The synergy between Kim Yoo-jung, Park Jin-young, Kim Hyun-joo, Lee Moo-saeng, and Jin Sun-kyu is highly anticipated as they bring this intense spy romance to life. Kim Yoo-jung plays Lee Ga-gyeong, the top pickpocket of Gyeongseong who disguises herself as an interpreter for 100 days. Driven by her dream to move to America, she becomes a spy for the independence group Gukukdan and infiltrates the Government-General. Kim expressed her excitement, saying, "I'm honored to be part of such a meaningful project. I hope it becomes a warm piece that offers comfort and reflection on history and life. Please look forward to it and support us."
Park Jin-young takes on the role of Kim Tae-woong, the adopted son of the Chief of Political Affairs and a new elite interpreter at the Government-General. During a dark period when Japan needed to justify its rule over Korea to the League of Nations, he returns to Korea after a decade abroad, fluent in English, Japanese, and Korean. Park shared, "Given the painful historical backdrop, I'm approaching the filming with great care. I will do my best to deliver a meaningful work."
Kim Hyun-joo plays Yoo So-ran, a sniper for the anti-Japanese group Gukukdan, driven by revenge. Entangled in a past with Sato Shinichi, she returns to Korea after a decade, having assumed a Chinese identity and entered a fake marriage with Yoo Philip. Lee Moo-saeng portrays Yoo Philip, a Korean-American journalist and member of Gukukdan, who uses his position to influence the Chief of Political Affairs. Jin Sun-kyu plays Sato Shinichi, the ambitious new Chief of Political Affairs and father to Sato Hideo, who will stop at nothing for success and is the primary target of Gukukdan.
