Like being undercover wasn’t stressful enough, imagine falling for someone who could wreck your future? That’s the premise of 100 Days of Deception, a new Korean series available on Netflix.
Set in the ‘30s, the historical spy romance has the potential to make you both gasp and swoon. With 2.8 million views last week, it’s already among the most-watched non-English shows on the platform, and a top 10 show in 22 countries.
Could a second installment be on the way? Here’s what we know so far.
100 Days of Deception Season 2 Release Date
At the time of writing, there’s no official news about a potential 100 Days of Deception season 2.
That said, the title appears as a limited series on Netflix. Moreover, Korean productions rarely get follow-ups. A single season is probably all there is.

What Is 100 Days of Deception About?
100 Days of Deception is set in 1930s Gyeongseong, which is present-day Seoul, during the Japanese occupation of Korea. The plot follows Lee Ga-kyung, a skilled pickpocket who dreams of moving overseas.
Before long, an unexpected opportunity draws her into the dangerous struggle for Korean independence. Ga-kyung is recruited to infiltrate the Japanese Government-General of Korea. She must pose as an interpreter trainee for 100 days while secretly gathering intelligence.
Once there, Ga-kyung encounters Kim Tae-woong, a talented interpreter who occupies a complicated position within the establishment. He proves to be a potential obstacle to Ga-kyung’s mission, but also a romantic interest. Both characters conceal important truths, and their feelings threaten to undermine their loyalties.
That’s keeping things simple, because there’s a lot going on. The rich story and great performances should be enough to draw you in. While 100 Days of Deception season 2 is unlikely, the first season is currently in full swing. You can catch episodes weekly on Netflix.
