Netflix's New K-Drama Thriller Will Fill The 'Squid Game' Void In Your Life
Mysteries and thrillers often tick off a familiar checklist: strained relationships? Check. Shady dealings? Check. A tortured yet empathetic lead? Check. If you found yourself reeling after the end of Presumed Innocent and are hooked on Lady in the Lake, then you absolutely need to make room on your watchlist for Netflix's new Korean mystery thriller (especially if you're waiting for Squid Game season 3). Yes, The Price of Confession features a lead who's accused of murdering her husband (another box on the checklist), but it's shaping up to be a standout because what Ahn Yoon-soo finds when she gets to prison is unlike anything you've seen before.
The Price of Confession Plot
"My husband is dead," says an official Instagram post from Netflix Korea. "I was caught as a suspect. And a woman called witch approached."
When her husband is mysteriously murdered, Ahn Yoon-soo's dreams for a loving family come to a screeching halt. And things only get worse when she's accused of the murder. Surrounded by a memorable cast of characters — her lawyer, the prosecutor, and an inmate the other prisoners call a witch — Yoon-soo has to fight for her freedom and her future.
