THE PRICE OF CONFESSION (2025): A Dark, Gripping Thriller Arrives on Netflix Worldwide
Dropping globally on December 5, 2025, The Price of Confession is set to become one of the most talked-about Korean thrillers of the year. With its razor-sharp storytelling, powerhouse performances, and haunting psychological depth, this 12-episode Netflix series promises a viewing experience that lingers long after the final scene fades.
A Story Where Truth Becomes the Most Dangerous Weapon
At the heart of the series is Ahn Yun-su (Jeon Do-yeon), a gentle art teacher whose life collapses overnight when her husband is found murdered in his studio. Despite professing her innocence, Yun-su quickly becomes the prime suspect. Public scrutiny tightens, suspicion grows, and her every action paints her deeper into a corner she cannot escape.
Her descent into despair takes a chilling turn once she enters prison — where she crosses paths with Mo Eun (Kim Go-eun), a mysterious inmate feared and whispered about by everyone inside. Known as the “witch of the prison,” Mo Eun offers Yun-su a deal that is as tempting as it is horrifying:
She will confess to the murder in Yun-su’s place… but only if Yun-su commits an even darker crime in return.
This impossible bargain sets the stage for a relentless psychological battle where morality blurs, trust becomes lethal, and every confession carries a price.
