Disney+'s 'Nine Puzzle' Achieves Major Success in Its Premiere Week
Disney+'s original series 'Nine Puzzle' has made a significant impact, ranking second among Korean content in terms of viewing hours during its debut week, following 'Moving'. The series features 'Ina' (played by Kim Da-mi), the sole witness to an unsolved case from a decade ago, who is also a current profiler, and 'Han Saem' (played by Son Seok-koo), a detective from the violent crimes unit who continues to suspect her as a suspect. Directed by Yoon Jong-bin, known for works like 'The Drug King' and 'The Outlaws', this marks his first venture into the mystery genre, generating buzz around the on-screen chemistry between Kim Da-mi and Son Seok-koo.
Released over two weeks, with episodes up to the ninth now available, 'Nine Puzzle' has captivated audiences with its classic detective story elements. The thrill of uncovering the culprit has sparked a wave of speculation and analysis of clues laid out by director Yoon Jong-bin and writer Lee Eun-mi.
As anticipation builds for the final episodes (10-11), set to air on June 4, Disney+ has released additional stills to heighten viewer excitement. The images showcase the unique relationship of suspicion and collaboration between Kim Da-mi and Son Seok-koo, reminding fans of their powerful performances.
Ina's relentless pursuit of the truth, navigating various locations including the crime scene and the Han River Police Station, raises questions about her ability to overcome her trauma and uncover the case's reality. Meanwhile, Han Saem's intense gaze as he investigates Ina's room from ten years ago reflects his complex feelings towards her.
Additionally, a still featuring team leader Yang Jeong-ho (played by Kim Sung-kyun) in a tense moment among reeds piques curiosity about a pivotal scene that could change the course of the investigation. The youngest detective, Choi San (played by Hyun Bong-sik), wearing a trendy hat gifted by Ina, adds a touch of humor amidst the tension, enhancing the show's entertainment value.
The final episodes of 'Nine Puzzle' will be available on Disney+ on June 4 (Wednesday).
