A pickpocket, a spy mission, and a dangerous double life — tvN’s newest period drama just dropped a teaser that has fans buzzing, and it’s easy to see why.
Directed by Yoo In Shik, the filmmaker behind hits like Extraordinary Attorney Woo and the Dr. Romantic series, 100 Days of Deception is a period spy romance set during the Japanese occupation of Korea, unfolding over a tense 100-day window.
What the Teaser Reveals
The story follows Lee Ga Kyeong, played by Kim You Jung, introduced as the most skilled pickpocket in Gyeongseong, present-day Seoul. Her life takes a dramatic turn when she’s recruited into the independence movement as an undercover spy, tasked with infiltrating the Japanese Government-General of Korea.
Things get complicated when she crosses paths with Kim Tae Woong, played by GOT7’s Park Jinyoung, an interpreter who also goes by the name Sato Hideo. He’s the adopted son of the Inspector-General of Korea, making him one of the most dangerous people for her to get close to — and yet, their paths become deeply intertwined.

The Setup Behind Her Mission

Stunned by the proposal, Ga Kyeong takes on a false identity, disguising herself as an interpreter trainee under the name Geum Seo Hee. The teaser closes with her introducing herself to Kim Tae Woong in Japanese on her very first day undercover, setting the stage for a high-stakes relationship built entirely on secrets.
