A pickpocket-turned-spy, the shadow of Japanese-occupied Korea, and a weekly release format designed to keep you hooked — Netflix’s next big K-drama swing has arrived, and it’s aiming straight for your watchlist.
What Is ‘100 Days of Lies’?
100 Days of Lies is a South Korean romantic-action thriller directed by Yoo In Shik and written by Ryu Bo Ri. It airs on TVN before streaming on Netflix, following a genius pickpocket named Ga Kyung who goes undercover as a spy inside the Japanese Government-General of Korea — only to find herself genuinely feeding intel to the independence army.

Who’s in the Cast?
The series brings together a strong ensemble: Kim You Jung (My Demon, Chicken Nugget) leads as Lee Ga Gyeong, alongside Park Jin Young (Our Unwritten Seoul) as Kim Tae Ung, Kim Hyun Joo (Hellbound) as Yoo So Ran, Lee Moo Saeng (As You Stood By) as Yoo Philip, and Jin Seon Kyu (Kingdom, Vincenzo) as Sato Shinichi.
Why This One Stands Out
Historical spy dramas set during the Japanese occupation era have delivered some of K-drama’s most gripping storytelling, and pairing that backdrop with a weekly release model means fans get sustained suspense rather than a single binge-and-forget weekend. With a cast this stacked and a premise blending espionage with personal ambition, expectations are already high.
