Kim You Jung, GOT7's Park Jinyoung, And More Confirmed For New Drama
tvN’s upcoming drama “100 Days of Lies” (literal translation) has finalized its starring cast! On March 6, tvN announced that Kim You Jung, GOT7’s Park Jinyoung, Kim Hyun Joo, Lee Moo Saeng, and Jin Sun Kyu were now officially confirmed to be starring in “100 Days of Lies.” Helmed by director Yoo In Shik of “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” and the “Dr. Romantic” series, “100 Days of Lies” is a period spy romance set during the Japanese occupation of Korea. The drama will tell the dangerous love story between Gyeongseong (now Seoul)’s top pickpocket, who becomes an undercover spy for the independence movement, and the adopted son of the Inspector-General of Korea (the second-in-command of the Japanese Government-General of Korea). Kim You Jung will star as Lee Ga Kyung, Gyeongseong’s top pickpocket. While trying to save up money to achieve her lifelong dream of going to America, Lee Ga Kyung receives an offer she can’t refuse: to infiltrate the Japanese Government-General of Korea for 100 days by going undercover as an interpreter. Park Jinyoung will star as Kim Tae Woong, a newly appointed elite interpreter for the Japanese Government-General of Korea. As the adopted son of the Inspector-General of Korea, he also goes by the name Sato Hideo. During a dark era when Japan needed propaganda justifying its colonization of Korea, Kim Tae Woong—who is fluent in English, Japanese, and Korean—returns to Korea to take on a crucial role. Kim Hyun Joo will play Yoo So Ran, a sniper for the independence movement who seeks revenge against Sato Shinichi. After 10 years away, Yoo So Ran returns to Korea under a new identity, now pretending to be Chinese and married to Yoo Philip. As part of her plot to assassinate Sato Shinichi, she approaches Lee Ga Kyung with a life-or-death offer. Lee Moo Saeng will play Yoo Philip, a Gyeongseong correspondent for an American news outlet. As a Korean-American member of the independence movement, Yoo Philip uses his status as a journalist to sway the Inspector-General of Korea. Finally, Jin Sun Kyu will play Sato Hideo’s father Sato Shinichi, the newly appointed Inspector-General of Korea. An ambitious man who is willing to do anything for power and success, Sato Shinichi is the primary target of the independence movement. “100 Days of Lies” is currently slated to premiere in the second half of 2026.
Sunwoo Jae Duk, Yoon Da Hoon, And Jung Ho Bin Are Childhood Friends Caught In A Changing Power Dynamic In “Our Happy Days”
“Our Happy Days” has unveiled new stills ahead of its premiere! “Our Happy Days” is a warm family series filled with stories from multiple generations, centering on a tense clash between the world’s most perfect man and an endearingly clumsy woman—each striving to become the main character of their own life. Sunwoo Jae Duk, Yoon Da Hoon, and Jung Ho Bin play Jo Sung Joon, Go Dae Chi, and Seo Kwon Sik, respectively—three men who formed a close friendship during their high school days. Though they briefly reminisce about the past when they reunite by chance, their relationship takes on a bittersweet twist as time places them on opposite sides of a power dynamic. Known as a kindhearted and approachable man, Jo Sung Joon is the father of three siblings—Jo Eun Ae (Uhm Hyun Kyung), Jo Eun Hyung (Choi Sung Won), and Jo Eun Nim (Kim Na Ri). However, behind his warm exterior lies a heavy secret he cannot reveal to his family: he is an unemployed head of household. As the pressure of repeated failures to find a new job weighs on him, Jo Sung Joon unexpectedly reunites with Go Dae Chi and Seo Kwon Sik—friends he drifted apart from 25 years ago after an unforeseen incident. Yoon Da Hoon takes on the role of Go Dae Chi, the president of Kang Soo Construction and the father of Go Gyeol (Yoon Jong Hun) and Go Min Ho (Jung Yoon). With his handsome looks and sharp suits, Go Dae Chi appears to be the picture of a perfect, elegant middle-aged man. However, beneath this polished exterior lies a character burdened with complex inner struggles. Suppressed by the influence of his father Go Kang Soo (Lee Ho Jae), the chairman of Kang Soo Group, Go Dae Chi harbors deep insecurities. When faced with his friend Jo Sung Joon, who later works as a building cleaner, and Seo Kwon Sik, who serves as Chairman Go Kang Soo’s chief secretary, he expresses a distorted sense of superiority that heightens the drama’s tension. Jung Ho Bin plays Seo Kwon Sik, a meticulous perfectionist. With his tightly pressed lips and impeccable posture, Jung Ho Bin fully embodies the character. In the past, when his family’s livelihood was in jeopardy, Seo Kwon Sik had to protect his young children, Seo Seung Ri (Yoon Da Young) and Seo Seung Woo (Yoo Jin Seok). Desperate for a lifeline, he turned to Go Dae Chi, and from that day forward, he became Chairman Go Kang Soo’s trusted right-hand man. Jung Ho Bin is expected to convincingly portray Seo Kwon Sik’s story of putting aside his pride for the sake of survival, adding further depth and intensity to the drama. The story of the three childhood friends meeting again from very different social positions, and the loyalty and conflict that arise between them, will serve as another key point of interest in the drama. “Our Happy Days” is scheduled to premiere on March 30 at 8:30 p.m. KST.

From there, his fate—and the story’s ending—varies entirely based on the viewer’s decisions. With its first-person visual style, “Kill the Romeo” heightens immersion while incorporating multiple branching storylines that highlight the interactive format. Viewers step into the role of the killer and face the dilemma of whether to eliminate or protect their favorite idol, with each decision directly shaping the direction and outcome of the story. “Kill the Romeo” has completed filming and is currently in the final stages of post-production.
