The tvN spy drama 100 Days of Deception is about to intensify the romantic tension between its two leads, Kim You Jung and Park Jinyoung, with a twist that will further complicate their already tangled relationship.
The series is set during the Japanese occupation of Korea and follows Lee Ga Kyeong (played by Kim You Jung), a pickpocket who becomes an undercover spy for the independence movement and infiltrates the Japanese Government-General of Korea. There, she ends up involved with interpreter Kim Tae Woong, also known as Sato Hideo (played by Park Jinyoung of GOT7), the adopted son of the Inspector General of Korea, the second-highest-ranking official in the colonial administration.
What happened in the previous episode of 100 Days of Deception
In the previous chapter, Lee Ga Kyeong ended up acting as an interpreter during the interrogation of the newly captured Geum Seok Joong (played by Kam Woo Sung). The brutal torture and violence she witnessed, combined with the chilling threats from Fukuda (played by Kim Joong Hee), led her to decide that she would abandon her work as a spy.
Despite being warned that traitors would be eliminated, Lee Ga Kyeong packed her bags and left the house. The episode ended with a cliffhanger: Yoo Philip (played by Lee Moo Saeng) approaches Lee Ga Kyeong while hiding a weapon behind his back.
The new mission pitting Lee Ga Kyeong against Sato Hideo
In the next episode of 100 Days of Deception, Yoo So Ran (played by Kim Hyun Joo) assigns Lee Ga Kyeong a new mission: to win the heart of Sato Hideo. In parallel, Sato Shinichi (played by Jin Sun Kyu) gives a similar order to Sato Hideo, instructing him to gain the trust of Lee Ga Kyeong.
Under the pressure of these new assignments, both characters share a tense moment in which they stare into each other's eyes from very close range, with neither looking away.
In the following released images, Lee Ga Kyeong appears startled by something while Sato Hideo reaches out to hold her.
