Korean Crime Thriller "Nine Puzzles" in Development
Yara Sameh
Disney+ is continuing its strong direction into Korean content with 'Nine Puzzles,' a cerebral crime thriller starring Kim Dami ('Itaewon Class') and Son Sukku ('Big Bet').
The 11-episode series follows Yoon Ena, a high school student who discovers her uncle's murdered body next to a single puzzle piece. Initially, the prime suspect, Ena reemerges a decade later as a criminal profiler only to find herself entangled in a new series of murders — each victim connected by puzzle pieces similar to the one from her uncle's crime scene.
The show brings together notable Korean talent beyond its leads, with Kim Sungkyun ('Moving,' 'The Fiery Priest') as Police Captain Yang Jungho and Hyun Bongsik ('When Life Gives You Tangerines,' 'Gangnam B-Side') as Junior Detective Choi San.
'Narco Saints' director Yoon Jongbin helms the project from a script by Lee Eunmi ('Tunnel,' 'Navillera').
The first six episodes will drop on May 21 on Disney+ internationally.
'Nine Puzzles' adds to Disney+'s growing slate of Korean originals that has already seen success in 2025 with the investigative thriller 'Unmasked' and medical drama 'Hyper Knife,' the latter becoming the platform's most-viewed Korean premiere globally this year.
Disney+ has continued investment in Korean content with upcoming 2025 releases including the treasure-hunting drama 'Low Life' starring Ryu Seungryong and the international conspiracy series 'Tempest' featuring Jun Gianna, Gang Dongwon, John Cho, and Michael Gaston.
Disney+ is the dedicated streaming home for movies and shows from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, and Star.

She is set to present several of her popular and latest songs.

Ajram continued: "I've postponed it for a few days or a few weeks, depending on the circumstances and how stable the situation will be,". In September 2024, Ajram revealed on Instagram that she was currently in the studio working on a new album. "The album journey is officially underway," she wrote.
