The 8th episode set a new record for the highest viewership rating with 9.8%. (Based on Nielsen Korea's paid platform nationwide)That day, a commotion broke out at the Hee-won mansion late at night. When Kim Tae-woong escorted the drunken Lee Ga-kyung home, Yoo Pil-lip (played by Lee Mu-saeng), suspecting that Lee Ga-kyung might have made a mistake while drunk, proposed a drinking session with Kim Tae-woong. Fueled by alcohol, Kim Tae-woong revealed his uncomfortable feelings towards Yoo Pil-lip, who was having an affair with Lee Ga-kyung, and the two ended up in a brawl.The next day, Lee Ga-kyung rushed to Kim Tae-woong's room upon discovering he was there. It was because of the pawn ticket she found in Kim Tae-woong's wallet, which she had stolen during their first meeting. However, the pawn ticket was already in Kim Tae-woong's possession. He confessed that he was looking for a person named 'Shin Tae-jin' written on the pawn ticket to find the foster mother who left home when he was young. He then said, "Keep it for now. You said you'd return it when I find the Jongno pawn shop. I'll trust Ms. Geum Seo-hee. Consider you my safe," and entrusted the pawn ticket back to Lee Ga-kyung.At the Government-General of Korea, the confrontation between the Governor-General (played by Kim Seung-rak) and Sato Shinichi deepened ahead of the opening ceremony of the Gyeongsongguan. The National Salvation Corps also seized this opportunity. Yoo So-ran (played by Kim Hyun-joo) devised a plan to detonate a bomb at a banquet, and Kim Tae-woong's fiancée, Kim Myung-nam (played by Park Jung-yeon), heightened the tension by planning to smuggle a bomb hidden in a medicinal herb package.The emotional entanglement between Lee Ga-kyung and Kim Tae-woong, who drew lines between themselves yet were drawn to each other, also caught the eye. Kim Tae-woong, with a complicated heart, headed to Totakgol and stopped Ma Mun-mak (played by Lee Seok) from beating Lee No-ma (played by Hong Sa-bin). However, he was perplexed by the suspicious remarks Ma Mun-mak made about people from Gyeam-ri.Eventually, Kim Tae-woong found the truth in the Government-General's archives. In the records of the Gyeam-ri riot incident, he discovered mugshots of the ringleaders, including Geum Seok-jung, and an English article stating that 23 Koreans were massacred. In particular, the first page of the incident statement included Sato Shinichi's photo along with his real name, 'Ishikawa Nobuyuki'.Shocked, Kim Tae-woong expressed his rage, and Sato Shinichi retorted, "You chose to become Japanese yourself. Have you still not shed your Joseonjok (Korean) blood?"After Sato Shinichi left, Kim Tae-woong discovered Lee Ga-kyung hiding behind the curtain. Lee Ga-kyung, who had come to move the bomb and overheard their conversation, revealed that she had regained her memory from the previous night. She mentioned the bet they made to grant a wish if she remembered, and said, "I'm using my wish now. Don't cry, Interpreter Kim Tae-woong," comforting him.'The 100-Day Promise' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 PM.sstar1204@tf.co.kr[Entertainment Department | ssent@tf.co.kr]
