What Is The Price of Confession About?
The Price of Confession follows Ahn Yun-su, an art teacher whose quiet life shatters when her husband is murdered. Despite her insistence that she’s innocent, overwhelming suspicion make Yun-su the prime suspect in his death.
Behind bars, she meets Mo-eun, a mysterious inmate known for her uncanny ability to read people. Yun-su is offered a chilling deal: Mo-eun will confess to the murder if she agrees to commit a murder of her own when she’s released. As Yun-su grapples with this moral dilemma, her defense team works hard to get her out of jail.
The series is high-stakes and thought-provoking, dabbling in questions we hope to never have to answer for ourselves. That said, putting yourself in the shoes of the protagonist makes the story even more riveting.
By the time the 12 episodes come to an end, the real killer is revealed, and viewers learn whether Yun-su still has a chance at a bright future. We won’t spoil things, but the series wraps up neatly. Unfortunately, that makes The Price of Confession season 2 a long shot.
