Some good twists keep this thriller crime mystery interesting. Good lesson things are often not what they seem at first. The story involves a murder in defending it the investigation leads to another crime that stemmed from a car accident. Sounds complicated but the directing is good and the story evolves clearly enough to follow. The cinematography is good and polished looking.
So Ji Sub is good at this role. He should play this type of guy more often. He has a face that would be an effective villain. Intelligent and sympathetic looking Kim Yun Jin is always watchable wish she would do more drama series. Nana is pretty in a modern way hope to see her in a modern romance soon.

Twists are quite good
Highly unlikely coincidental scenarios and
Purposefully twisted plots that could only exist in Marvel or Disney animations or cartoons. The actors, one male and two females who played the three main characters all looked like their IQ were over 160 at genius level, especially the stone-cold young woman who played the mistress of that man. The overly exaggerated extremity of the coincidental scene after scene could only happen in lousy fictions or fantasies, unnatural, self-indulgent, self-serving and shallow. The chemistry between the man and his mistress was non-exist at all, albeit sexual relationship. There's no way to convince me or anyone with the least IQ would buy such ridiculousness.
Another good movie from South Korea
South Korean cinema, still one of my favourite countries when it's about movies. Not an easy language to follow a story though but at least Korean actors don't overact like most other Asian actors do in other Asian countries. It's also difficult to remember the names of those good Korean actors. So Ji-sub I know from another good movie, Alienoid, and another lesser good movie The Battleship Island. Yujin Kim is mostly known for her role as Sun in the immensely popular series Lost. So both lead actors know how to act and in Jabaek (or Confession for the English title) they both did another good job. Nice twists and turns in this enjoyable story to watch. I see some reviewers rated this movie with the lowest score possible. I can only say I feel sorry for them. So this was the worst movie they ever watched then (to me a 1 rated movie belongs in the worst movies I ever watched). I really wonder which movies they rate the maximum, must be almost impossible to find for them. It just annoys me, these kind of unfair reviewers, even though everyone is entitled to their opinion. That said, if you like me enjoy South Korean cinema give this one a shot, you won't be disappointed.
