Nine Puzzles is a psychological thriller that hooks you from the very first episode, combining a smart script with impeccable direction. The story revolves around a series of murders, each leaving behind a puzzle piece as a clue, creating an absorbing mystery that deepens with every episode.
Kim Da-mi shines with a nuanced performance, portraying a criminal profiler marked by her own past. Opposite her, Son Suk-gu delivers a solid and restrained performance, bringing humanity and complexity to his character. The chemistry between them isn’t explosive, but it’s tense, adding to the suspense in their interactions.
One of the drama’s greatest achievements is how it balances the crime investigation with the development of interpersonal relationships filled with distrust, trauma, and secrets. The tension is constant—not only because of the central mystery but also through silences, glances, and dialogues full of double meanings.
Nine Puzzles is not just a story about murders—it’s an emotional puzzle where every character hides key pieces. Highly recommended.
