Spy dramas live and die by one thing: whether viewers keep coming back for the next twist. For tvN’s “100 Days of Deception,” the answer is a loud yes.
The Headline Number
On October 18, the spy romance’s fourth episode hit its highest ratings yet, averaging 9.0% nationwide according to Nielsen Korea. It also ranked first in its time slot across all channels, including public broadcasters, and was the most-watched show in its slot among viewers aged 20 to 49. Double digits are now within reach.

100 Days of Deception: Sunday Ratings

| A Love Other Than Yours | KBS2 | 1.8% |

Why This Climb Matters?
A rise by Episode 4 suggests word of mouth is working. Viewers who tuned in for the premiere are sticking around, and new fans are joining. Winning its time slot against public broadcasters is a notable achievement for a cable drama. The leads, Kim You Jung and Park Jinyoung, also ranked No. 3 and No. 9 on this week’s buzzworthy actor list.
The Sunday Champion
KBS2’s “Love on the Menu” remains the most-watched program of Sunday, rising to 16.7% for the night. So tvN’s drama has a tough neighbor, but its upward trend is the real story.
