| 'Confessions': Gingle Wang, Ethan Ruan and a Two-Decade-Old Crime That Refuses to Die |
If you’re into psychological thrillers with a side of seriously messed-up family secrets, Confessions is about to be your next obsession.
Based on Youku post today, their upcoming drama doesn’t just look eerie—it feels eerie.
We’re talking black-and-white promo posters slashed with blood-red calligraphy that practically scream, “This isn’t your average whodunit.”
Even better?
It reunites Ethan Ruan and Gingle Wang—yep, the same duo from the deliciously dark Taiwanese hit The Pig, the Snake and the Pigeon.
This time, they’re stepping into an even more sinister world, and it’s already giving us goosebumps.
The plot kicks off with a haunting case from 2004: a bombing and kidnapping in Taipei that turned three completely unrelated families into unwillingly linked lives.

The fallout?
Years of hatred, buried trauma, and secrets passed down like family heirlooms—except instead of jewellery, it's resentment and revenge.
The trailer is pure nightmare fuel (in the best way).
First, Ethan Ruan appears dazed, teary-eyed and totally lost, before it cuts to Gingle Wang’s blood-smeared face as she stares into the camera with a smile that’s way too calm.

Each character is introduced twice—first as their seemingly “normal” selves, then in full psychological breakdown mode. Chilling.
Beyond the plot and aesthetics, Confessions boasts a stacked cast.
Think Golden Horse, Golden Bell, and Taipei Film Award royalty: Nikki Hsieh, Chen Yiwen, Alyssa Chia, Joseph Chang, and Vivian Sung all show up.
This isn’t just a thriller—it’s a showcase of some of Taiwan’s finest.
So yeah, if you like your dramas intense, atmospheric, and a little bit traumatising, Confessions should definitely be on your radar.
