Professionally done excellent triller, psychodrama, rom com and healing story
Everything is top notch,except one thing: I think it is distasteful and artistically grossly cheesy to show scenes of murder / murdered people in great detail, repeatedly. TMI TMI TMI.
Just say what they looked like dead, or just show the blood all over, or someone throwing up in disgust...
Do NOT show us what it really looks like and HOW it became that way, we the people are not forensic experts. Leave it to american movies to show shocking, meaningless, scandalous, distracting, dumb details like that. Bc kdramas do not do such dumb scenes, and that is WHY we watch kdramas only. BE SOPHISTICATED
Other than this complaint, imo the drama is stellar.
The acting is stellar except FL.
The ML is an excellent minute detail actor and it is worth rewatching just to see him. There are other numerous characters represented by excellent actors. I would say practically everyine in this kdrama is acting super well. Except perhaps FL.
Although ML is so grumpy and not well dressed, the character (and the actor) is very cute bc he is GENUINE. The ML character is honest. We do not know why, we just find him that way. Druggingly honest. I am not sure how he managed to stay honest in his line of work.... how come nobody killed him yet for exposing stuff??? But - he is honest, warm, good person underneath a very grumpy cold isolated exterior.
The small detail of taking off the hat and showing hair is super effective to emphasize his good looks and his softness underneath being grumpy. The fact that the hair is slightly curly and messy is actually cute.
The contrast of the straight "lid" hat and his curvey soft hair is an amazing "trick" to showcase his good looks and softness, you get the sneak peek of what is behind the front wall... The front wall is so high and so tough....
The lid hat on and off is like a metaphor when he feels safe to come out of his shell and be real himself and be vulnerable. That is why FL doesnt let him take the hat off, bc then she is gonna fall in and jump on him :) and get beat up since his defense wall is very high and very tough. But she is waiting ... im ambush, camouflaged... taming him very very very slowly....
ML is fun to watch bc he has soooo many shades of emotion. There is no actor and character, there is just this PERSON, this detective, who is ALIVE on that screen. It is like watching a real person live their life. There is no "acting". The actor IS that person. totally convincingly.
I think the actor is the same actor from Oh My Venus?Hm no he is not :) my bad. They just look alike.... I have not seen him in any role before. Or maybe I have, but I thought it was So Ji Bin :) to me they really look alike.
In any case, ML acting is so convincing, it is clearly a unique person in this drama. Wow great actor!!!!
how that actor acts is waaaaay beyond good looks, he acts FOR REAL, there is not the smallest shade of doubt that actor IS that detective. Excellent excellent acting. The icing on the cake is that he is cute.
FL on the other hand was - hey this is Itewon Class chick!!! here again!!! same face, SAME ACTING, SAME PERSONALITY....
FL is cute but one dimensional in her acting, she does NOT show a range of emotion at all, her response in 99% of ALL situations is a surprised snide look.... one version of "poker face" just a little bit more animated than the poker face..... AND THE SAME FACE SHE SHOWED IN ITEWON CLASS... so it is boring to watch her except for mostly eye candy.
Seriously what is up with female leads, most of them can NOT act. WTF WHY????
I did not recognize the actress from Itewon class but as soon as I saw that acting, I KNEW it was her, it is THE SAME ACTING, 100% THE SAME PERSON...... the Itewon Class chick showed up in this kdrama as one of the participants...
COMMON!!!!!!!!!! ***** ACT ***** AND BE A DIFFERENT CHARACTER EVERY TIME!!!!!
Luckily FL script is super smart so that is fun to watch how she figures out various crimes and people. It is also filmed sometimes in a very creative way, so we "see" her thought process. That is all fun.
And please get those bangs out of her eyes so that WE CAN SEE HER better, she has pretty and shiny eyes
Luckily the script is slightly different, the Itewon Class chick in that kdrama was taming someone who was also protected by super afwul head style - his own moronic haircut - but in that kdrama, ML was closed off and shut down totally, he could not "take off" his bad hairdo, he was always under that ARMOR.
In this kdrama, Itewon chick is at least trying to tame a guy who has heart and even sometimes shows it.
The script is amazing, it is sooo riveting, you never know who is betraying whom...
I might have one idea though. After ep 8, I am starting to suspect that the orphan boy who was the subject of doctor's seminar talk is the culprit and he is the Captain :) After the start of ep 9, I am sure it is not the captain, he had a mother. But I still suspect the killer is that orphan boy. And perhaps the captain accidentally put the fire under his truck or something like that... And, who is the orphan boy? The new recruit or the two police bosses... ?
Overall, this is a really well done kdrama that is extremely interesting.
Oh one detail - in this kdrama, UNLIKE ALL OTHER KDRAMAS, the FL is chasing the ML who is a typical single guy .... how she is roping him in is remarkable LOL Omg she is sneaky and clever!!! that dude is totally roped in and he doesnt even realize it yet.... She got him!!!!!
And yeah that is the same plot of Itewon class... they took this actress bc she can act a chick patiently trying to rope in a guy who has NO DESIRE WHATSOEVER to date.
But it is the typical american plot... bc in the USA men NEVER court ladies, the men expect to be courted by women and their p#### pride kissed up. I think the USA has a shortage of men, plus many are gay, so finding a single guy worth attention is like looking for buried gold... ALmost mission impossible...
So the rom com reminds me of the USA, where stuff like that is normal,
rather than what is shown in kdramas, where TWO male leads chase one FL. That puts S Korea as the leader of testosterone and real men out there..
The USA us super short on testosterone. THe men are just .... very few and very weak and not masculine at all, they are all silver spoon men who wait for women to compete with other women and win them and fall into their lap. An american male is a lost cause already. CONSUMERISM made men go extinct in the USA...
The ML detective is a very closed off male who has not been interested in romance ... for at least 10 years and probably more..... so FL tricking him, baiting him, ORDERING HIM, movng on LOL with the suitcase and humidifier LOL sleeping there, eating there, ... and in general taking charge to tame him is totally endearing and hillarious. The drama does not make it into comedy but it is tragicomic and also endearing, they are helping each heal from trauma, and she is very gentle with him, so they never really clash, they keep moving forward. Excellent couple communication.

sensacional
eu comecei a assistir nine puzzles porque soube que a park gyuyoung faria parte do elenco e, como era de se esperar, ela entregou muuuito no papel de vilã. é incrivel como essa mulher é capaz de se transformar completamente quando está atuando! minha atriz favorita!!quanto a série num todo, eu amei o enredo e, por ser da disney, já imaginava que seria de qualidade. o único defeito é que a ena e o hansaem não ficaram juntos 💔eles dois tinham uma química surreal, uma dinâmica muito interessante.

Un crime bello e dark al punto giusto
Mi ha piacevolmente stupito... temevo che in 11 episodi non sarebbero riusciti a gestire la mole di indizi che ci avevano lanciato puntata per puntata... e invece esattamente come un puzzle tutto va perfettamente al suo posto... cast fantastico e ben amalgamato.. ogni attore ha interpretato perfettamente il suo ruolo depistandoci perfettamente dal vero assassino ... una profiler che mi ha ricordato tantissimo il c-drama love me if you dare che per me rimane uno dei crime cinesi piu belli che ho visto.. comunque tornando alla nostra stupenda profiler ha saputo davvero come farci immergere in questo Crime ..facendoci anche dubitare di lei ..un detective un po orso ma che in realtà episodio dopo episodio ci ha fatto innamorare del suo personaggio e della sua chimica con la profiler.. una storia che alla fine è la più standard di tutte ..la vendetta di una figlia verso una madre che pensava l'avesse abbandonata e invece è morta aspettandola ...poteva essere la solita storia vista e invece ci ha catturato e complimenti alla nostra killer ..wow rimane fedele a sé stessa e alle sue convizioni e si suicida in maniera davvero surreale per la forza fisica e mentale che deve aver avuto per restare immobile in mezzo alle fiamme..Mi è spiaciuto solo scoprire che lo zio fosse così corrotto.. avrei preferito un po di senso di colpa... anche lì sono stati bravi a depistarci..
Come ogni thriller che si rispetti si chiude ma non si chiude con un nuovo caso e un nuovo pezzo di puzzle...
Ha tutti i presupposti per una seconda stagione e bhe ...non c'è mai fine ai thriller per cui incrociamo le dita e possibilmente con lo stesso cast!!

Penuh Teka Teki
Dari awal kita terus diombang ambing oleh banyaknya pertanyaan dan teka teki. Terutama teka teki tentang siapa pelakunya dan apa motifnya? Bahkan sampe sebelom pelaku itu terungkap aku tetep ga berhasil nebak siapa dia. Tapi setelah semuanya terungkap aku jadi paham kenapa pelaku ngelakuin itu dan apa yang jadi penghubung kepingan puzzlenya. Dari sini aku belajar bahwa pelaku bisa aja adalah korban, dan ga nutup kemungkinan kalau korban juga adalah pelaku.Begitulah yang bisa aku liat disini...

Buena historia pero ya existen varias bastantes similares.
Fue un buen drama, lo disfrute de principio a fin pero comparándolo con otras historias del genero no sentí que destacase especialmente por nada. Fue un buen drama policial, thriller y de misterios pero no esperes encontrarte algo muy distinto al resto de dramas del genero.Es la típica historia donde el asesino hace lo que hace por venganza, rechazo a la sociedad y justo de alguna manera el pasado del mismo esta vinculado con la del protagonista, hay muchos dramas que cuentan la misma historia con ciertas diferencias.
Las actuaciones estuvieron muy bien, probablemente la mas interesante fuese la de la perfiladora por ser una personaje con una personalidad distinta al resto, "rara", fría, solitaria y hasta antisocial, siempre esos personajes bien actuados llaman la atención. El detective protagonistas estuvo bien, nada especial, nada realmente destacable, pero me cayo bien.
Me sorprendió en elenco, estuvo lleno de actores bastantes populares dentro de este genero (policial, thriller, psicológico), lastima que se sintieron mas como cameos que personajes importantes pero aun así disfrute verlos junto en el mismo drama.
La historia me gusto, tubo un buen ritmo y fue bastante fácil de entender y llevar, quizás los 2 últimos capítulos se me hicieron un tanto apresurados y un poco "ridículo" que hayan descubierto al asesino por un descuido siendo tan prolijo y calculador pero hasta cierto punto entendible. No me gusto mucho el tema de que le falto sorpresa o un giro inesperado, desde los 2 primeros capítulos podías llegar a esperar que los psicólogos y el líder del grupo de detectives se veían sospechosos o mejor dicho la dirección los hacia ver sospechosos, casi siempre pasa lo mismo en este tipo de historias y es un poco desalentador.
El final estuvo bien, fue lo que todos esperábamos diría, me impacto o sorprendió un poco lo fuerte que fue la muerte de la asesina, no recuerdo haber visto una muerte tan cruda con sus gritos de fondo mientras de quemaba en otro drama del estilo.
Queda abierto para una segunda temporada, la veré cuando salga, siento que va a ser la misma historia contada con un asesinó distinto aunque espero que sea un poco distinta y mas original, espero que se mantenga el elenco principal.

Nine Puzzles (2024)
Que série... eu ainda estou tentando me recompor.Nine Puzzles me prendeu do começo ao fim — não por ação exagerada, mas pela tensão psicológica, o clima sombrio e o mistério que cresce a cada episódio.
Yoon Ena, a protagonista, é um dos motivos pelos quais essa história é tão marcante. Desde o início, senti que tinha algo nela que não se explicava. Uma mistura de frieza, trauma e controle. Não dava pra saber se ela estava escondendo algo… ou se o que ela escondia era ela mesma. E isso foi genial.
A trama envolve um quebra-cabeça de crimes antigos, com ligações ao passado dela — e cada nova peça revelada só deixava tudo mais complicado. Tinha horas que eu parava o episódio só pra pensar: “Será que é ela?”, “Quem tá manipulando quem?”.
Gostei da forma como o roteiro não entrega respostas fáceis. Tem reviravoltas, sim, mas tem também silêncios, olhares, dúvidas. E é isso que deixa tudo ainda mais intenso.
Não é um dorama para quem quer romance, fofura ou alívio cômico. É para quem gosta de suspense psicológico, investigações, segredos de infância e personagens com camadas profundas.
No final… eu ainda tinha perguntas. E talvez isso faça parte do jogo.

Crime Bem Feito, Protagonista Mal Tratada
Olha, é inegável que o drama entrega uma trama policial muito bem amarrada, com motivações coerentes e crimes que se entrelaçam sem deixar pontas soltas — algo raríssimo em produções do gênero. O roteiro é preciso como um bisturi e, honestamente, não tem nem espaço para a gente cutucar com furo de lógica ou incoerência narrativa. O gancho para uma segunda temporada, aliás, é tão gritante que parece um convite direto para a audiência grudar na tela de novo. E aceito, viu? Sem pestanejar.Agora… sobre os protagonistas: a química existe, o timing funciona, mas vamos combinar que a evolução dos personagens seguiu caminhos bem diferentes — e nem sempre por boas razões. O protagonista masculino segue reto feito trilho de trem, enquanto a personagem feminina… ah, essa caiu no clássico trope da mulher forte que vira boba por conveniência de roteiro. De “badass” a tola num piscar de olhos, e tudo isso para só resgatar sua dignidade dramática nos minutos finais. Isso não é um problema da atriz, e sim da pena frouxa do roteirista e da direção que cochilou no volante. Mas, ainda assim, valeu o passeio.

Le puzzle était parfait… sauf la dernière pièce...
"Nine Puzzle", c’est un thriller psychologique qui m'a direct embarqué dans ses filets 😶🌫️. On suit Yoon Yi Na, une profileuse au passé trouble, qui est accusée d’un meurtre dont elle ne se souvient pas… Et dix ans plus tard, elle bosse aux côtés de ceux qui la suspectaient... jusqu’à ce qu’une nouvelle affaire réveille des fantômes. Le drama joue avec la mémoire, la culpabilité et la vérité, il m'a fait reconstituer ce fameux puzzle pièce par pièce 🧩 épisode par épisode.J’ai vraiment aimé que les personnages soient tout sauf lisses. Yi Na, déjà, c’est un mystère ambulant... 😅 Elle dégage une froideur apparente, mais derrière, on sent un chaos intérieur, une culpabilité qu’elle ne comprend même pas elle-même 🫧 Et Han Saem, ce flic qui la surveille autant qu’il essaie de la comprendre… leur duo est tendu, méfiant, mais avec cette petite intensité silencieuse que j’ai adorée 🔥. Les autres flics traînent tous leurs zones d’ombre, certains plus crades que d’autres, et c’est ce mélange qui rend le drama intrigant... je savais jamais vraiment à qui faire confiance.
La dynamique entre Yi Na et Han Saem est top 😌. Il y a ce truc électrique entre eux, un mélange de méfiance et de curiosité qui as rendu chaque échange captivant ✨. C’est pas une "romance", mais j'ai senti que chaque geste, chaque regard, construisaient un lien fragile mais c'était long… bref, c'est exactement le genre de duo complexe que j’adore suivre 🔥
Mais voilà… la fin m’a laissé un goût bizarre 😅. Après tout le teasing et les intrigues minutieuses, le dénouement arrive un peu vite, presque posé à "l’arrache". J’ai compris qui tirait les ficelles, mais les motivations et la manière dont tout s’enchaîne... je trouve que ça manquent de profondeur et de tension 😬 Et cette fin… ok, ça laisse la porte ouverte pour une saison 2, mais je me demande si l’histoire mérite vraiment de continuer... Malgré ça, je dois avouer que certains épisodes m’ont scotchée, mais globalement, la conclusion m’a clairement laissée sur ma faim 😑
Bref, “Nine Puzzle”, c’est intrigant, sombre, mais il lui manque ce petit "je-ne-sais-quoi" pour passer de bon à grand ✌🏻

Ceritanya bagus tp eksekusinya kurang gong
Sayang banget padahal aktornya bagus-bagus tapi kayanya karena sudah kehabisan dana utk bayar pemain jadi eksekusinya kurang.Puncak di episode 10 tapo harusan tambah eps lagi karena penyelesaian hanya 2 episode kurang, apalagi korban pembunuhannya banyak dan pelakunya berbadan kecil.
Banyak plot hole jugak, scene di Ibunya pelaku kurang banyak, bonding mereka engga ada. Minimal ditampilin bagaimana pelaku dan Ibunya dulu sebelum menghilang. Partner kerja pelaku juga setelah ditangkap dan diwawancara hanya segitu aja, engga ada scene lanjutan bagaimana dia menggambar puzzle itu.
Engga perlu ada season 2 biarin aja open ending. Nonton ini karena ada Son Sukku tp kurang puas sama eksekusinya
