The upcoming drama “100 Days of Deception” has unveiled a new character teaser ahead of its premiere!

The drama will follow the story of Lee Ga Kyeong (Kim You Jung), the top pickpocket in Gyeongseong (present-day Seoul), who becomes an undercover spy for the independence movement and infiltrates the Japanese Government-General of Korea. There, she winds up becoming entangled with interpreter Kim Tae Woong (GOT7’s Park Jinyoung), who also goes by the name Sato Hideo.
Additional characters include Yoo So Ran (Kim Hyun Joo), a sniper for the anti-Japanese organization Gugukdan; Yoo Philip (Lee Moo Saeng), a Korean-American correspondent based in Korea; and Sato Shinichi (Jin Sun Kyu), the Director-General of Political Affairs at the Japanese Government-General of Korea.
The newly released highlights the relationships between the five characters, each of whom has their own motives and secrets. Lee Ga Kyeong is seen striking a risky deal in pursuit of her dream.
