What to expect from The Price of Confession

The K-drama focuses on a major crime of Ahn Yoon Su who's accused of murdering her husband. She finds herself locked up in prison yet making risky deals with another female inmate named Mo Eun.

However, this crucial 'confession' does not come for free, rather comes at a significant price.

The core of the plot revolves around the dark bargain that leads to emotional trauma and constant betrayal.

Viewers can expect a tense thriller that explores how one person's freedom depends entirely on another person's fabricated story.
