"The Winning Try", "Our Golden Days" and 2025 SBS·KBS acting awards rookie of the year winner "the rising star" Park Jung-yeon is taking on a full-fledged historical drama with 100Days Of Lies.
Park Jung-yeon joins tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama 100Days Of Lies (directed by Yoo In-sik·Kim Yoon-jin, written by Ryu Bo-ri), adding strength to the solid lineup.
On the 3rd, Park Jung-yeon's agency Salt Entertainment said, "Charming actress Park Jung-yeon, who combines solid acting skills and graceful beauty, will play Kim Myeong-nam, a member of the patriotic group Gugukdan who is outwardly gentle but strong inside, in 100Days Of Lies, joining the intense journey toward independence during the Japanese colonial period." It added that it released photos of Park Jung-yeon full of excitement attending the first script reading, raising expectations.
100Days Of Lies depicts a 100-day espionage romance that unfolds when the best pickpocket in Gyeongseong, who became a spy, and an elite interpreter of the Japanese general government meet in the enemy's heart.
Park Jung-yeon will play Kim Myeong-nam, a member of the anti-Japanese organization Gugukdan to which Yoo So-ran (Kim Hyun-Joo) and Yoo Philip (Lee Moo-saeng) belong. Kim Myeong-nam is a character who joined Gugukdan with a special backstory and will support the independence movement both materially and spiritually, adding strength to the drama.
Last year, Park Jung-yeon left a strong impression as girl-crush shooting team ace Seo Woo-jin in SBS's The Winning Try, and in KBS's Our Golden Days she played Park Young-ra, the awakening youngest daughter of a chaebol family, showing a wide acting spectrum. Having won the rookie of the year awards at both the SBS and KBS acting awards through the two works, interest in this new project is high.
In particular, Park Jung-yeon is challenging a full-fledged historical drama for the first time through 100Days Of Lies. Amid the dark era of the Japanese colonial period, she is expected to show a different charm from her previous works by portraying Kim Myeong-nam's inner self, who has a burning heart longing for independence, in her own color.
Meanwhile, 100Days Of Lies, a collaboration between director Yoo In-sik, who produced hits such as Dr. Romantic and Extraordinary Attorney Woo, and writer Ryu Bo-ri, who delivered deep resonance with delicate writing in works such as Do You Like Brahms?, has raised expectations as Kim You Jung, Park Jin-Young, Kim Hyun-Joo, Lee Moo-saeng, Jin Sun-kyu, Lee Ki-young and now Park Jung-yeon join the cast.
100Days Of Lies will premiere on Oct. 10 at 9:10 p.m.
