Park Jinyoung’s character confronts Kim You Jung by her real name, Lee Ga-kyung, in episode 11 of tvN’s weekend drama “100 Days Of Deception,” which airs today on November 14.
Set during the Japanese occupation of Korea, the period spy romance follows Kim You Jung as Lee Ga Kyeong, a pickpocket who infiltrates the Japanese Government-General of Korea as an undercover spy for the independence movement.
A time bomb planted by the Gugukdan exploded during a banquet celebrating the opening of the Governor-General of Chōsen’s Kibongwan in the previous episode.
Kim Tae-woong initiated a quiet interrogation because he was suspicious of her movements. He asked her directly:
“You're a spy, aren't you?” said Kim Tae-woong.
That visit takes an unexpected turn when Kim Tae-woong suddenly shows up at the shantytown. When she gets caught by one of the residents while attempting to escape, she tries to awkwardly laugh it off after having her face and real name revealed to Kim Tae-woong.
Later, an unwelcome intruder causes a commotion at the shantytown. An infuriated Kim Tae-woong steps up to subdue the stranger by grabbing his wrist. Lee Ga Kyeong watches the situation unfold with a shocked expression.
The chief searches the office and finds the pawn shop ticket that Ga-gyeong left in Hideo’s drawer. The episode ends on a cliffhanger with the chief discovering a connection between Ga-gyeong’s name and a dead man’s daughter.
Preview scenes indicate a change in the central relationship as Kim Tae-woong addresses her by her birth name rather than her cover identity.
“Nice to meet you, Lee Ga-kyung,” said Kim Tae-woong.
Lee Ga-kyung and Kim Tae-woong confront hidden truths and are swept up in complex emotions, said the production team. They added that their story will deliver poignant excitement as they meet with the desire to erase lies and doubts and to trust each other, and with the hope that the other will trust them.
