I hope it becomes a warm story that comforts viewers and encourages people to reflect on history and life.”
Park Jin-young will play Kim Tae Woong, also known as Sato Hideo, the adopted son of the Japanese general government’s elite political leader and interpreter. Fluent in English, Japanese and Korean – a rare skill at the time – he returns to Joseon after more than a decade and undertakes an important mission as a government interpreter during a politically turbulent time.
Park Jinyoung said about the role, “Since the drama is set in such a painful historical period, I am approaching the filming with great care and sincerity. I will do my best to make a meaningful project until the end.”
The drama also boasts a powerful supporting cast. Kim Hyun Joo will play Yoo So Ran, a sniper from an anti-Japanese resistance group seeking revenge. Lee Moo Saeng plays Yoo Philip, a Korean-American journalist and resistance member who uses his position as a foreign correspondent to influence political affairs. Jin Sun Kyu plays Sato Shinichi, the ambitious political leader of the General Government and the main target of the pro-independence group.
With its blend of historical tension, espionage and romance, 100 days of lies should offer a compelling story about love, betrayal, and the hope of independence.
The drama is currently scheduled to premiere in the second half of 2026.
