(Based on Nielsen Korea's paid platform nationwide)The broadcast revealed the truth behind the kidnapping of Lee Ga-kyung (played by Kim Yoo-jung) that occurred earlier. It was a setup by Yoo Philip (played by Lee Mu-saeng) and Gu-guk-dan members to test Lee Ga-kyung's qualifications as a spy. Lee Ga-kyung did not reveal Gu-guk-dan's existence even in the extreme situation, and when questioned about her backer, she shouted "Long live Korean independence" saying, "My backer is Joseon." In fact, she had already noticed that it was an admission test.Confirming Gu-guk-dan's distrust towards her, Lee Ga-kyung declared she would quit being a spy. When Yoo Philip aimed a gun at her, Yoo So-ran also pointed a gun at him, leading to a precarious confrontation. Yoo So-ran said, "Seo-hee is my daughter's name. My daughter who was killed by the Prime Minister," and sincerely conveyed, "Help me. I need you." In response, Lee Ga-kyung decided to continue her spy activities.Later, while running errands for Hideo Sato, Lee Ga-kyung's ankle pain worsened, and Hideo Sato took her to Jongno Hanseong Korean Medicine Clinic. It was a place connected to the clinic and hideout operated by Gu-guk-dan member Kwak Woon-hak (played by Choi Deok-moon). Kwak Woon-hak was flustered by Lee Ga-kyung's injury but continued the treatment. Hideo Sato misunderstood the relationship between Lee Ga-kyung and Yoo Philip, fueling his suspicion.Left alone in the examination room, Hideo Sato personally bandaged Lee Ga-kyung's ankle. He then added to the subtle atmosphere between the two by saying, "It's a lie, of course, but if it's true, don't get caught by Mr. Yoo Philip."Meanwhile, Gu-guk-dan identified Shinichi Sato's movements based on the schedule and newspaper articles brought by Lee Ga-kyung. They concluded that he would attend the Joseon Painting Exhibition awards ceremony at 7 PM two days later, on Monday. Later, Lee Ga-kyung informed Yoo So-ran of the changed information that Shinichi Sato's schedule was 'editing and reporting' rather than 'ceremonial speech', but the Gu-guk-dan members who had already moved to the ceremony site fell into a trap due to the incorrect information.In the end, an unexpected situation occurred at the assassination site. The moment Han Cheol-ryong (played by Kim In-kwon) aimed his gun at the vehicle, it was not Shinichi Sato but Jang Jeong-yeop (played by Lee Do-gun) who was spotted, and Han Cheol-ryong was shot and fell from the driver's seat. Yoo So-ran's location was also exposed to Fukuda (played by Kim Joong-hee). On top of that, the possibility of her spy identity being revealed increased when Lee Ga-kyung encountered Hideo Sato as she was leaving the Governor-General's office. The ending, with Shinichi Sato's sinister smile, maximized Gu-guk-dan's crisis.'100 Days' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 PM.sstar1204@tf.co.kr[Entertainment Department | ssent@tf.co.kr]
