tvN drama ‘100 Days of Lies’ sees viewership decline amid competition

The tvN 20th anniversary special drama ‘100 Days of Lies’ experienced a drop in viewership, recording a 6.5% rating for its fifth episode. This decline follows a previous rating of 9% and is attributed to strong competition from SBS’s ‘Doctor X: Era of the White Mafia,’ which reached a peak rating of 19.5% during the same time slot.

In the latest episode, the narrative intensified as the character Lee Ga-gyeong, played by Kim Yoo-jung, decided to abandon her role as a spy following a traumatic interrogation session. The plot also explored the complex character of Sato Shinichi, portrayed by Jin Sun-kyu, revealing his internal struggles with social status and his ruthless pursuit of power amidst an assassination attempt on the political affairs commissioner.
