Started Slow, Ended Hooked, Deserves a Season 2
I pressed play on Nine Puzzles purely because of Son Suk-ku. After A Killer Paradox, I knew this genre was where he absolutely shines and his acting didn’t disappoint. He’s just so good at playing complex characters that keep you guessing.
But I’ll be honest: the first three episodes didn’t draw me in at all. The pacing felt off, and I kept debating whether to drop it. I’m so glad I didn’t, because once the pieces started falling into place, the story became addictive. Every new reveal pulled me deeper in, and by the 4th episode, I was completely invested.
The mix of mystery, tension, and clever twists really paid off in the second half. It felt like the show finally found its rhythm, and Son Suk-ku carried it effortlessly as always.
By the end, I wasn’t just satisfied; I was frustrated in the best way because this story needs a season 2. There’s too much left to explore, and the way it wrapped up practically screams for more.
It’s a slow burn that takes its time, but if you stick with it, the payoff is worth it. And honestly, Son Suk-ku in this kind of role? I’d watch him solve puzzles forever.
