Song Ji-hyo's intense gaze reveals first encounter with Jin Seon-kyu

In the 11th episode of tvN drama '100 Days of Deception' broadcast on the 14th, Lee Ae-yeong's fearless first meeting with Sato Shinichi was revealed, showing her looking directly at him unlike other kisaengs.

Actress Song Ji-hyo dominated the screen without a single line of dialogue. As the first encounter with Jin Seon-kyu was revealed, Song Ji-hyo's intense gaze, which unlike other kisaengs looks directly at her counterpart, instantly captured viewers' attention.

In the 11th episode of the tvN weekend drama '100 Days of Deception' broadcast on the 14th, the first meeting between Lee Ae-yeong (Song Ji-hyo) is revealed. Within the drama, Lee Ae-yeong is depicted as a person who is not intimidated even in front of Sato Shinichi (Jin Seon-kyu), showing an extraordinary presence despite her brief appearance.

On this day, Sato Hanako brought up a hidden aspect of her family history by asking Ryu Gwan-sil (Seo Jeong-yeon) about her biological mother, Lee Ae-yeong. Hanako expressed curiosity about her biological mother's existence, asking, "What kind of person was the mother who gave birth to me? Not the Sato mother who passed away last year."

Hanako then shared memories of how Sato's mother would only glare at her and hit her behind her father's back, saying, "While she couldn't say anything to my older brother, when my father and brother were away, she called me a filthy Chosenjin to me." Mentioning the discrimination and violence Sato's mother inflicted upon her, Hanako added cynically, "Because she had such a wicked heart, she died after being sickly every day."

The curiosity about her biological mother led to questions about her appearance. Hanako asked, "Was she beautiful? Her eyes? Her nose? Her lips?" and Ryu Gwan-sil showed her a mirror. Imagining that she must have been a person incomparably beautiful compared to Sato's mother, Hanako asked, "Mother died while giving birth to me. Is that why my father hates me?" which evoked sympathy.

The atmosphere changed abruptly when Sato Shinichi returned home. Upon discovering Hanako, who had been learning the Korean language, Sato Shinichi made a significant remark: "You can't even look at me. Are you afraid of me? Your mother was not afraid of me at all." His comment, recalling the woman from the past who was not afraid of him through his daughter, amplified curiosity regarding the history between Lee Ae-yeong and Sato Shinichi.

The subsequently revealed first meeting between the two further highlighted Lee Ae-yeong's unique atmosphere. While other kisaengs could not even make eye contact and kept their heads bowed in front of Sato Shinichi, Lee Ae-yeong alone looked at him head-on. Her attitude of not avoiding her gaze even in the face of power stood in stark contrast to other characters, leaving a powerful impression.

In particular, Song Ji-hyo revealed Lee Ae-yeong's personality and spirit through only her eyes and facial expressions without any separate dialogue. Despite being a short scene, her overwhelming beauty and presence drew attention as an important scene connecting the character's past and present.

With the revelation of the first meeting between Lee Ae-yeong and Sato Shinichi, interest has risen regarding what memories and emotions have connected their relationship. Hanako's questions about her biological mother's face, Sato Shinichi's significant reminiscence, and Lee Ae-yeong's appearance of looking at him without fear have combined to add new curiosity to the family history and character narrative of '100 Days of Deception'.
