The series, from the creative team behind The Pig, The Snake, and The Pigeon, underwent four months of preparation and 120 days of filming. Building on the "violent aesthetics and philosophical musings" of its predecessor, Confessions adds socially conscious suspense elements that heighten the narrative's intensity and complexity. It delves deeper into psychological issues such as family trauma and moral conflict.

Ethan Juan shared that his character, Lin San, has a complex inner journey that mirrors many aspects of his own life. He described the experience as if he were stepping into Lin San's shoes, not only portraying the character's life but also undergoing a personal choice of his own throughout the process.

First Teaser: Stark Aesthetics Hit Home

At the press conference, the teaser trailer "Destined Suspense" was unveiled. With chilling lighting and intense sound design, it builds a bold aesthetic that amplifies suspense. The trailer reveals the characters' psychological unraveling as they navigate family feuds and moral entanglements across two generations, drawing viewers into hidden truths and the abyss of human nature.

Eight character stills and a themed poster were unveiled, using black-and-white tones to evoke a sense of psychological warfare and mystery, deepening the audience's immersion in the characters' minds. The series will be introduced to mainland China by Youhug Media and Youku, and exclusively streamed on Youku.

Following the event, Confessions entered post-production. The team will fuse Eastern and Western cultural elements, using sharp editing and visual effects to help Chinese drama cross linguistic and regional borders. With its striking dark aesthetic and universal moral themes, the show aims to leave a bold mark on the psychological suspense genre and redefine the peak of Chinese storytelling.
