In a spy drama, the most dangerous moment isn’t always the gun. Sometimes it’s a quiet clinic, a bandaged ankle and two people who can’t look at each other. Newly released stills from tvN’s 100 Days of Deception have fans asking whether romance is blossoming between Kim You Jung and Park Jinyoung.

The Story So Far

Lee Ga Kyeong is a pickpocket turned undercover spy for the independence movement, infiltrating the Japanese Government-General of Korea. There, she becomes entangled with interpreter Kim Tae Woong, who goes by Sato Hideo and is the adopted son of the Inspector-General of Korea, the second-highest-ranking official in the administration.

At the end of the last episode, Ga Kyeong accepted Yoo So Ran’s (Kim Hyun Joo) offer to spy for Gugukdan and landed a job under the false identity Geum Seo Hee. After crossing paths with Sato Hideo again, a mystery man accused her of being a spy and abducted her. For more on Korean cinema and drama, see Wikipedia’s page on Park Jinyoung.

What the New Stills Show?

Danger: Ga Kyeong is trapped in an unknown space, a gun pointed at her, her lip bloodied and sweat on her forehead.
Tenderness: Later stills show her alone with Sato Hideo at a traditional Korean medicine clinic, where he kneels to bandage her injured ankle without hesitation. Both avoid each other’s gaze, and the tension is palpable.
