100 Days of Deception Episode 3 is listed for Saturday, October 17, at 9:10 p.m. Korea Standard Time on tvN. The exact time it will become available on Netflix in the United States has not been confirmed, so viewers should treat the Korean broadcast time and US streaming availability as two different things.
The next episode arrives with Lee Ga-kyeong’s cover under pressure. After encounters tied to a stolen wallet, a suspicious suitcase and a dangerous assassination plot, the young pickpocket is being pulled deeper into the independence movement’s spy operation. Here is what is confirmed so far, what the released previews suggest, and what remains speculation ahead of Episode 3.
When does Episode 3 air?
Current listings place Episode 3 on Saturday, October 17, 2026, with the Korean tvN broadcast scheduled for 9:10 p.m. KST. That converts to 8:10 a.m. Eastern Time and 5:10 a.m. Pacific Time on Saturday, but those conversions refer to the Korean broadcast moment—not a confirmed Netflix US release time. Netflix availability can differ by region and platform schedule.
For the most reliable streaming information, check the official Netflix page for 100 Days of Deception close to the release. The show’s current episode listing also identifies October 17 as the next episode date.
What happened before Episode 3?
The opening episodes establish Ga-kyeong as a skilled pickpocket recruited into a dangerous undercover role for the independence movement. A stolen wallet connects her to interpreter Kim Tae-woong, who also uses the name Sato Hideo. His position as the adopted son of a powerful colonial official makes their connection more dangerous than either character may initially understand.
The first episode’s assassination plan also goes wrong when Ga-kyeong becomes involved in events surrounding Yoo So-ran and Yoo Philip. A mysterious attacker disguised as a cake delivery person adds another layer of danger, while the second episode’s preview shows Ga-kyeong facing police scrutiny and Hideo watching her with suspicion. These details come from published preview coverage, not a leaked Episode 3 script.
What could Episode 3 focus on?
Ga-kyeong’s cover may become harder to maintain
Ga-kyeong is no longer simply a pickpocket trying to profit from a stolen wallet. Her connection to the resistance and her proximity to Hideo place her in a world where ordinary mistakes can expose an operation. The previews point to growing suspicion, but they do not confirm exactly how she will get out of the next crisis.
Hideo’s suspicion could become a strategic problem
Hideo is positioned between personal instinct and his place inside the colonial administration’s power structure. If he continues to investigate Ga-kyeong, she may have to work harder to keep her cover intact. Whether suspicion turns into an alliance, a confrontation or a temporary bargain remains unknown before the episode airs.
The resistance plot may widen beyond one mission
The series’ premise connects Ga-kyeong’s personal survival to a larger independence operation. That creates room for the story to widen beyond the immediate mystery of the stolen items and the identities of the people around her. Specific twists should not be treated as confirmed until an official preview or the episode provides them.
Why the pawn-shop receipt still matters
In the premiere preview, Ga-kyeong dismisses a pawn-shop receipt before noticing that the suitcase may have a hidden lining. The moment reflects the show’s central method: seemingly worthless details can become clues, and confidence can cause a character to overlook something important. The receipt may remain relevant, but no official Episode 3 synopsis reviewed for this article confirms its next role.

Soompi’s published preview coverage includes material shared by tvN and explains the key clues from the opening episodes.

Quick answer: What should viewers know before Episode 3?
100 Days of Deception Episode 3 is listed for Saturday, October 17, 2026, at 9:10 p.m. KST on tvN. The story is expected to continue Ga-kyeong’s dangerous undercover mission and Hideo’s growing suspicion, but a detailed official Episode 3 plot synopsis and a confirmed Netflix US release time have not been established in the preview sources reviewed for this article.
