Actress Kim Da-mi has revealed that she and co-star Son Suk-ku ultimately decided against including a romantic element in their characters’ relationship in the Disney+ original series Nine Puzzles, even though they initially considered it.
In a recent interview, Kim reflected on her role in the mystery thriller, which follows criminal profiler E-na (played by Kim), who reopens a decade-old unsolved case for which she was the only witness, and detective Han-saem (Son), who continues to suspect her. As new puzzle pieces emerge, the two are drawn back into a string of murders.
Kim said she was captivated by the script upon first reading.
“I couldn’t stop. At the time, the cast hadn’t been finalised, so I had even more room to imagine. I had never done a mystery before, and when I heard director Yoon Jong-bin was involved, I couldn’t help but be intrigued,” she said.
