Amidst a series of shifts in casting, the upcoming mystery thriller drama, tentatively titled "The Price of Confession ," might see acclaimed actress Jeon Do Yeon taking on the lead role. Reports from STARNEWS on December 20 highlighted the possibility of Jeon Do Yeon stepping in to fill the gap left by Song Hye Kyo and Han So Hee, who had previously departed from the production.


When approached for confirmation, Jeon Do Yeon's agency, Management SOOP, responded “She has received an offer [to star in the drama] and is currently reviewing it.”

The storyline of "The Price of Confession" revolves around the intricate and dark tale of two women entangled in a murder case. Initially set to be directed by Lee Eung Bok , known for his work on "Descendants of the Sun," the project encountered a setback when he had to decline the opportunity due to scheduling conflicts earlier in the year.


The drama's journey through casting changes began in 2022 when Song Hye Kyo and Han So Hee were initially in discussions for the lead roles. Their Instagram post in March 2023, captioned with "The Price of Confession," had generated substantial anticipation among fans.

However, the project faced a twist in May when both actresses officially withdrew from the production following extensive deliberations. This led to a temporary halt in the production process. Currently, the responsibility of directing the series has been taken over by Lee Jung Hyo , known for his work on acclaimed dramas like "Crash Landing on You" and "Doona!"


As the drama undergoes this transformation, the potential addition of Jeon Do Yeon adds an intriguing layer to its evolution, promising a fresh turn in the narrative and casting dynamics of "The Price of Confession."
