The spy romance K-drama '100 Days of Lies,' starring Kim Yoo-jung (김유정) and Park Jin-young (박진영), has been a constant topic of discussion since its premiere, with its heart-wrenching emotional scenes drawing viewers in. Recently, official behind-the-scenes footage from episodes 5 and 6 was released, showing Kim Yoo-jung so deeply immersed in an emotionally charged crying scene that she struggled to disengage, her tears continuing to flow even after the director called 'cut.' Park Jin-young's subsequent action created a warm atmosphere on set, and the related footage has since garnered significant attention.
'100 Days of Lies' is set in Gyeongseong (경성) during the Japanese colonial period. It tells the story of Lee Ga-kyung (played by Kim Yoo-jung), Gyeongseong's top pickpocket who becomes a secret agent. She encounters Sato Hideo (played by Park Jin-young), an elite translator for the Japanese Government-General of Korea, in the heart of enemy territory, leading to a 100-day spy romance.
On the 26th, tvN Drama's official YouTube channel released behind-the-scenes footage from '100 Days of Lies' episodes 5 and 6. A particular scene where Lee Ga-kyung breaks down emotionally and cries into Sato Hideo's arms drew significant attention.
In the scene, Lee Ga-kyung witnesses the death of Geum Seok-joong (played by Kam Woo-sung), causing her long-suppressed emotions to erupt. She uncontrollably weeps in front of Sato Hideo, who, without a word, silently embraces her, offering comfort. Their nuanced portrayal of the characters' emotional flow made the scene incredibly impactful.
Kim Yoo-jung's full immersion wasn't limited to when the cameras were rolling; even after the director called 'cut,' she struggled to detach from the character's emotions. She continued to lean into Park Jin-young's arms, weeping, her tears unceasing even after filming had concluded, showcasing her profound dedication to the role.
Noticing that Kim Yoo-jung was still overwhelmed, Park Jin-young didn't rush to end their interaction. Instead, he remained by her side, patiently waiting for her to calm down. The scene of mutual comfort from the drama seemed to extend into the real filming set, with their natural interactions highlighting the chemistry and thoughtfulness between the co-stars.
This behind-the-scenes footage not only showcased the actors' talent but also revealed their mutual support after filming intense emotional scenes. '100 Days of Lies' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 PM KST, and anticipation for its future plot developments remains high.
