According to NamuWiki, 100 Days of Lies will be released on Netflix

Exactly. People forget that fiction exists to explore ideas, not to preach a moral lesson. A story showing a character being evil isn’t the same as the story endorsing it. Sometimes it’s literally just examining how a flawed person moves through the world and what consequences follow. And honestly, your point about literature classes is so real. If more people actually learned how to analyze stories, we wouldn’t have this constant moral policing every time a character makes a questionable choice.

The funniest part is when those same folks call arts and humanities useless, meanwhile they’re out here proving exactly why media literacy is desperately needed. We really can’t have nice things because some people refuse to think past surface level.

Right, exactly. The cast genuinely delivered.

A lot of people here react based on emotion instead of actually looking at the craft. If one plot choice doesn’t go their way, suddenly everything becomes trash. It’s so exaggerated.

Yeah, I feel the same way as you about the ending.

I get it, everyone likes different types of endings. That's totally valid. But it honestly irritates me when they immediately label the drama as trash just because they couldn’t comprehend the ending. Like… an open or sad ending doesn’t automatically mean the story is bad. They just need to see it from a different perspective.

They literally cannot comprehend an open ending. They want everything spoon-fed and wrapped up neatly.

Lmao, I bet the people criticizing Yoojung’s acting are just bitter their fave didn’t get to play Ahjin.

And the way they can’t even understand what Ahjin’s actual goal is… they keep yapping about redemption and revenge when the drama was never about either of those things.

And they keep whining about the ending and calling the drama is bad just because it didn’t match their expectations, when they can’t even grasp the actual point of the plot. They literally cannot comprehend an open ending. They want everything explained step by step. Like… open endings exist so you can actually use your brain and interpret things. Life isn’t always good people win, bad people lose. Not every story is meant to follow the typical kdrama blueprint

The author’s interpretation of the ending:

"The ending of the drama was different from the original, but it was evaluated as the best ending that fit the character. He said, "Ah-jin is a character who needed someone's help to be able to live, so I think the ending was hell for A-jin, wondering how she would live after Jae-oh and Jun-seo disappeared"

Fr, I remember after the first 4 episodes aired, a lot of people here suddenly turned into moral police toward Ahjin’s character. I mean… the synopsis already made it clear that the protagonist isn’t a good person. If they’re not okay with that, why force themselves to watch it

This drama made me realize that so many Kdrama fans just can’t handle complex characters and open endings at all 😭

So far I think it is worth watching. I like how they still follow the core of the webtoon, there are a lot of changes, but the main story stays the same. The characters and plot are made more complex, and even though they made a big change in the final arc, it actually makes the story more interesting. My suggestion is before you start watching, look up what a sociopath is and their traits. It will help you understand the story and Ahjin’s character better. This drama and its characters are too complex, so many people fail to understand it. Most of them don’t even get what the protagonist’s actual goal is

As for the rating, I think it deserves a higher one

It’s a song by Olivia Marsh, and It’s not released yet, probably coming out this thursday

FRRRRR 💯

Ikr, I love Yeuleum but I really don’t like Rena here. She’s way too involved with Junseo and even Jaeoh. Even Sunghee has more impact than her. If they really wanted to add another main character, I think Sunghee would’ve been a better choice

finally someone gets it

Ahjin agreed to marry Dohyeok because she saw how easily he could protect her, he threw the Longstar CEO in jail, erased her criminal record, wiped all her negative articles, found her a new agency, and could even hand her drama and film roles without any struggle. Her biggest ambition has always been to live at the top, where no one can touch or bother her again, and Dohyeok proved he could give her that. And since we all know Ahjin is a sociopath, it makes sense bcs one of their traits is impulsive decision making. She doesn’t think about the consequences, she just acts to secure what she wants in the moment.

FR 😭

This story is so complex that it’s easy for people to misunderstand a lot of things. If you really want to keep watching, I think it helps to first understand what a sociopath is, what they’re like, how they behave, and how their relationships usually work. It makes the whole story way easier to follow.

She used him to boost her popularity and get revenge on Rena

Omg yes, my thoughts exactly. I might just be a casual viewer, but in anime we see tons of MCs like Ahjin, and no one ever makes a big fuss about their morals

In my opinion, both the relationship and Junseo’s feelings are complicated. It’s a mix of love, pity, guilt, and obsession, all blended together. You don’t need to label what kind of relationship they have, since this isn’t a romance anyway. Their entire dynamic is built on Ahjin’s manipulation.
