Kim Go Eun is once again ready to shake up the core of the genre. The Netflix series The Price of Confession, set to be released on Friday, December 5, tells the story of Yoon Soo, who is framed as the suspect in her husband’s murder, and an enigmatic figure known as the witch, Mo Eun, exploring the events that unfold between these two secretive characters in a mystery thriller format.
In the series, Kim Go Eun plays Mo Eun, an emotionally closed-off character who serves as a central figure driving the story’s tension. Under the interpretation that “Mo Eun is a person whose emotions are shattered,” Kim Go Eun promises nuanced inner acting, delicately controlling subtle changes within a stoic expression.
Visually, she completes the character’s cold and unfamiliar aura with a short haircut and pale tone, showcasing a new dimension of her acting. From the released stills and trailers of The Price of Confession, her intense character energy is expected to dominate the overall mood of the series.
Notably, Kim Go Eun reunites with Jeon Do Yeon after about ten years in this work, raising expectations. Every scene featuring the two actresses is infused with unique tension and depth, enhancing the series’ overall completeness. Kim Go Eun expressed her appreciation, saying that “Jeon Do Yeon was a strong support on set.”
Kim Go Eun has proven her versatility through roles across various genres. After drawing ten million viewers with the film The Divine Move, and delivering delicate emotional performances in the Netflix series You and Everything Else, she reveals an unfamiliar and resilient face in The Price of Confession.
In particular, her acting in this work reaches its roughest and most intense form yet, promising to leave viewers with a powerful impression. Her ability to show completely different sides of herself in each work has expanded her range, and attention is now on how far she will push her talent in this series.
Having showcased different facets of her acting across contrasting projects, Kim Go Eun will continue her performances in the first half of next year with the TVING original Yumi’s Cells Season 3. Viewers are eager to see what new variations she will bring in her upcoming works.
The Price of Confession, starring Kim Go Eun, will be released on Netflix on December 5.
