Predictable, slow, dragging, not thrilling!!
Nine Puzzles had a solid concept and a decent storyline, but it was painfully slow, uneventful, and dragged way too much. The only reason I stuck around was to confirm the killer who was already obvious and uncover the backstory.
Each episode felt like a chore, leaving me with a tight, uneasy feeling, but I powered through (and no, it’s not about my taste, I’ve watched Doubt and other thrillers). The FL didn’t click, and as for the ML, my second drama of his, and I’m still not sold.
For a psychological investigative thriller, it lacked any real thrill. A drama stuffed with A-list actors doesn’t automatically make it good. And can they stop making the killer the most obvious choice by giving them barely any screen time or storyline?
The one scene that stood out? The ending? her choice with the fire was bold! The leads? Completely forgettable. If there’s a S2, they need a major revamp or just scrap it altogether.
A 7/10 for me, but definitely a one-time watch.
