Excitement builds for the South Korean mystery thriller The Price of Confession, with strong indications pointing to a Netflix release on December 5, 2025. While the streaming giant awaits formal announcement, lead actress Kim Go-eun reportedly confirmed the date during a recent interview, generating significant buzz among K-drama fans.
Directed by the acclaimed Lee Jeong Hyo (known for Crash Landing on You and Doona!), and written by Kwon Jong Kwan (Proof of Innocence), the series is nearing the end of production. In her comments, Go-eun expressed enthusiasm about reuniting with co-star Jeon Do-yeon after a decade, calling her role in the project one she approached “with a lot of thought and a lot of caution,” and specifically mentioned the December 5, 2025 Netflix release date.
The high-stakes narrative centers on Ahn Yoon-soo (Jeon Do-yeon), a woman whose life shatters following her husband’s murder, leaving her the prime suspect. Her desperate fight to clear her name takes a dramatic turn when she encounters Mo-eun (Kim Go-eun), a fellow inmate ominously nicknamed “the witch” for her uncanny ability to perceive hidden truths. This fateful meeting sets off a chain of events explored by two determined men: Baek Dong-hun (Park Hae-soo), a meticulous prosecutor, and Jang Jeong-gu (Jin Sun-kyu), Yoon-soo’s lawyer and former boxer, each pursuing the elusive facts behind the crime.
This project marks notable returns for its stellar cast. Jeon Do-yeon, last seen in Netflix’s Crash Course in Romance (2023), brings her acclaimed intensity to the lead role. Kim Go-eun (Goblin, The King: Eternal Monarch), fresh from the hit Exhuma, embodies the enigmatic Mo-eun. Supporting powerhouse Park Hae-soo (Squid Game, Money Heist Korea) and Jin Sun-kyu (Vincenzo, Space Sweepers) solidify the formidable ensemble.
Production is winding down, placing The Price of Confession firmly in Netflix’s anticipated late 2025 K-drama lineup. As anticipation grows for this Lee Jeong Hyo thriller, all eyes are on Netflix for the official green light on the December 5 release window hinted at by its star. Fans of suspenseful Korean dramas and intricate mysteries should mark their calendars – this Netflix Original series promises to be a major talking point as 2025 concludes. Stay tuned for the platform’s definitive announcement.
