You will keep guessing until the end!!!
Get ready for an emotional rollercoaster - and don’t trust anyone.
The Price of Confession was, to say the least, a very unusual drama. You might expect it to follow a more traditional crime series format, with one clear protagonist you can fully root for. This drama isn’t like that at all. While we do have our “ride or die,” Ahn Yunsu, I honestly found it hard to fully trust her throughout the series.
The same goes for Mo Eun (Kim Go Eun’s character). In most stories, she would easily be framed as the villain—but not here. She does an incredible job portraying a character whose biggest flaw is her lack of empathy for humanity, and this contrasts so well with Yunsu’s more transparent nature and her extreme empathy.
The backstories of both characters make them deeply empathetic, even when they make morally gray- and sometimes morally questionable- decisions. I genuinely enjoyed watching them navigate the mess they were thrown into.
That said, this drama is very fast-paced and engaging, so you’ll probably end up binge-watching it—prepare accordingly. The acting from both actresses was phenomenal, and the script was well-written.
Overall, this is a must-watch for any crime and murder mystery fan.
