Go into this drama absolutely blind and expecting NOTHING.
As the headline says, DO NOT READ OR WATCH ANY SPOILERS BECAUSE YOU WILL END UP NOT ENJOYING IT AS MUCH AS I DID.I thoroughly enjoyed it, i hated the misunderstandings, i hated how they couldn’t even communicate their feelings but the chase was just as much fun. the comedic timing of the characters were so amazing, its rare to see kdramas nowadays that are 16 episodes with such fun characters( netflix is at fault!) and a fun story. Their love story was so beautiful to see, in every timeline they chose each other.

Watch this if you want a laugh
A disclaimer: i’m a bit traditional as i hate romance kdramas that aren’t 16 episodes, i just feel like you can’t pull it off with just 12. That being said this story doesn’t fall short, it’s not rushed and the comedy was on par. Their love story was so wonderfully written, it had me in tears & everything was well thought out and flowed together. I will say the acting does and will sometimes make you cringe but overall i definitely recommend watching this if you have nothing else to watch…Was this review helpful to you?

what happens when justice system fails someone so completely?
i’ve lowkey been putting off making a in-depth review because i don’t think anyone will ever see it but if you are reading it i hope you enjoy.—————
The price of a confession is not just a murder/mystery. it’s a tragedy about institutional failure and the cost of it, what happens when systems meant to protect people fail so catastrophically that revenge becomes the only source of comfort.
The price of a confession does just that, it makes you sit in that discomfort, from a detective lying and withholding evidence to a girl forced to commit suicide, to a father overtook by grief and to a sister who lost everything because a predators parents had connections. Justice is denied, the perpetrator gets to live freely and the victim? she’s disregarded. That injustice has a domino effect, that same injustice finds another victim. A prosecutor recreates the same injustice he thinks he’s solving because he believes he’s upholding justice. He mirrors the same flawed system that failed to protect victims, and He proved moeuns world view, he alone demonstrated why someone like mo-eun would lose faith in the justice system.
The second thing i love about this show is its refuseal to flatten Mo-euns character, she is more than just a villain or a victim. Her revenge may not have been morally justified but emotionally it was understandable. To me, she exists in that contradiction. The show doesn’t endorse revenge but it makes you ask yourself, what would drive someone so over the edge that they would have to resort to this, what about their future? and then it clicks. To Mo-eun, a future without her loved ones isn’t a future she’s willing to live with. She was planning to join them, along with those who wronged and drove her family to their deaths. That was her plan from the beginning. But was the revenge worth it? The brilliance of this show is that it never resolves whether revenge feels good. In my opinion, yes it probably made mo-eun relieved because that was the only thing that was keeping her alive.
Ahn yoon-soo and Mo-euns relationship was such a beautiful sight though, from the very beginning they connected in a way that captivated me. It was the first time someone in the show saw mo-eun as a human being. Moeun was mesmerised by ahn the first time she saw her on tv pleading for her husbands murder and insisting it wasn’t her because Moeun also knew the feeling of that devastatation. does that make sense? It wasn’t until the last two episodes that Ahn also understood that. Their story was tragically beautiful in my opinion.
