Kim Da Mi, Son Suk Ku, And Team Navigate Trauma And Uncover Truth In Unreleased Stills For “Nine Puzzles”

In celebration of its global success, “Nine Puzzles” has unveiled a fresh set of unreleased stills capturing the tension and complexity at the heart of the story!
On June 2, Disney+ announced that “Nine Puzzles” has become the second most-watched Korean content on the platform during its premiere week based on total viewing time—coming in just behind the smash hit “Moving.”
“Nine Puzzles” is a mystery thriller that follows the story of profiler Yoon Yi Na (Kim Da Mi), who was the only witness in an unsolved case from 10 years ago, and detective Kim Han Saem (Son Suk Ku), who still believes her to be a suspect, as they unearth the secrets of a new serial murder case that begins with a mysterious puzzle piece.
The newly released stills highlight pivotal moments from the series, capturing the emotional tension between Yi Na and Han Saem, as well as the high-stakes atmosphere of their investigations. From reluctant teamwork to doubt and suspicions, the images offer a glimpse into the drama’s emotional and narrative depth.
Yi Na is seen actively profiling suspects across crime scenes, the Hangang Police Station, and even Han Saem’s home-turned-basecamp—raising questions about whether she’ll be able to overcome her past trauma and uncover the true culprit. Meanwhile, Han Saem’s scenes—from investigating Yi Na’s old room to relentlessly tracking her actions—capture his persistent suspicion and layered emotions toward her.
The stills also feature Kim Sung Kyun as team leader Yang Jeong Ho, caught in a moment of quiet intensity in a field of reeds. His pivotal decision in the case has turned the investigation on its head, leaving viewers eager to see what consequences will follow.
Adding a touch of humor and heart to the drama is Hyun Bong Sik as the team’s youngest member Choi San, sporting a trendy hat gifted by Yi Na. His light-hearted charm continues to provide comic relief amidst the series’ mounting tension.
The final two episodes of “Nine Puzzles” will be released on June 4.
