100 Days of Deception: A Pickpocket, a Spy Mission and One Dangerous Romance

What happens when a master pickpocket becomes a spy, and her target falls for her? That’s the delicious question behind 100 Days of Deception, tvN’s new period spy romance. It premieres this Saturday, and K-drama fans have plenty to look forward to.

100 Days of Deception Release Date and Where to Watch

The drama premieres on October 10, 2026 on tvN as part of the network’s 20th-anniversary celebrations. It airs weekly on weekends and streams globally on Netflix, so Indian viewers can watch it there too. Since it’s a weekly release, you’ll get new episodes every Saturday and Sunday rather than a full binge drop. Check the Netflix app for exact episode timings in your region.

What Is the Story About?

The year is 1932, and Gyeongseong (today’s Seoul) is under Japanese colonial rule. Lee Ga-kyeong, played by Kim You-jung, is the city’s best pickpocket. She takes on a false identity and infiltrates the Japanese Government-General as an undercover spy for the independence movement. Her 100-day mission gets complicated when she crosses paths with Kim Tae-woong, played by Park Jin-young, a sharp interpreter who is the adopted son of a top official. Both of them are hiding lies they can’t afford to have exposed, and the poster hints at plenty of tension between them.

Cast and Crew Highlights

Kim Hyun-joo plays Yoo So-ran, a sniper for a resistance group, while Lee Moo-saeng and Jin Sun-kyu round out the main cast. Director Yoo In-shik is known for Extraordinary Attorney Woo and the Dr. Romantic series, which gives the drama a solid pedigree. Kim You-jung and Park Jin-young both have a following among Netflix K-drama audiences too.

Why You Should Watch?

You get a historical backdrop, spy thrills and a slow-burn romance in one package. The teaser’s vivid recreation of 1930s Gyeongseong looks gorgeous, and the “enemies close together” setup is a genre favourite. If you loved period dramas with a twist, this one deserves a spot on your watchlist.
