What is The Price of Confession about?
The new series follows Yun-su, a woman accused of murdering her husband, and Mo Eun, a mysterious woman called a witch, and their many secrets. With the new trailer, audiences get a closer look at the twists and turns they can expect from the upcoming series.
The trailer showcases a distraught Yun-su as she calls emergency services to help her husband, who lies bleeding next to her. However, when her behavior doesn’t align with the perfect example of a grieving widow, it begins to raise suspicion. She asks for a coffee during police questioning, she references CSI, and the more chilling thing is that she continues to smile throughout it all.
Still, Yun-su insists that she’s innocent, only to be sent to prison anyway. There, she meets Mo Eun, a woman feared as a witch, murderer, and psychopath. But when Mo Eun offers to confess that she killed Yun-su’s husband, there’s a price to pay.
