[All] Nine Puzzle ending review, plot, original work, characters, who is the real culprit?
Disney Plus Original Thriller <Nine Puzzle>! Everything you need to know about the ending, characters, and who the real culprit is! Summary of the 11-episode storyline.
1. Disney+ Recommendation <Nine Puzzle>, is this combination true?
The original series <Nine Puzzle>, which was released on Disney Plus in May 2025, garnered much attention from the beginning with its combination of director Yoon Jong-bin, writer Lee Eun-mi, and lead actors Kim Da-mi and Son Seok-gu, which are truly 'trustworthy'.
In particular, Kim Da-mi took on a mysterious character again after <The Witch>, and Son Seok-gu heightened the sense of immersion with his signature heavy detective acting.
2. Plot Summary: When the puzzle arrives, someone dies?
The story centers around an unsolved case from 10 years ago.
One day, high school student Yoon Ina (Kim Da-mi) witnesses her uncle being murdered, but loses her memory of the incident. Later, Ina grows up to be a profiler, but when another murder case occurs using the same awl used at that time, she finds herself at the center of the case again.
And at every scene, a puzzle piece is always left behind. Why would the criminal leave a puzzle behind? And what happens when the puzzle is completed?
3. Is Nine Puzzle an original work?
Many people are curious about this, <Nine Puzzle> is original content without an original work.
The script was written by Lee Eun-mi, who wrote <Tunnel> and <Navillera>, and it blends well with director Yoon Jong-bin's style, resulting in a very unique and emotional mystery drama.
4. Summary of characters, who is the culprit?
- Yoon Ina (Kim Da Mi)
The only witness who lost his memory and is now a profiler. When the puzzles start to be delivered, he is once again at the center of the case.
- Kim Han-sam (Son Seok-gu)
A detective in charge of the investigation at the time, and a person who doubts Ina to the end. Even after 10 years, his suspicions do not stop.
- Yang Jeong-ho (Kim Seong-gyun)
A cool-headed investigator who is Hanssem's superior. He approaches all investigations based on evidence.
- Choi San (Hyun Bong-sik)
The youngest detective on the team. In charge of detailed investigations such as black box and CCTV analysis.
In addition to this, suspicious people, such as those in charge of Ina's psychiatric counseling and the former residents of apartment 5802, continue to appear, causing confusion in the investigation into the culprit.
5. Who is the real culprit?
There are few solid clues revealed so far, but viewers are considering these people as strong suspects.
- Ina's psychiatrist (Park Gyu-young, Noh Jae-won)
- Yang Jeong-ho, Hanssem's boss
- Or the most unexpected third person?
In particular, given that a 'puzzle' remains and that the victims are related to a specific apartment in the past (Daewon City 5802), there is a possibility that this is not a simple serial murder but a detailed revenge plot.
6. Conclusion and Review
The ending hasn't been revealed yet, but here's what I feel after watching 6 out of 11 episodes:
- The early development is quite slow. It focuses more on psychology than on events.
- The combination of puzzles, serial killings, and mysterious characters is a real hit for mystery fans!
- However, because there are too many plot twists and characters, it can get a bit complicated and boring in the middle.
Still, it is certain that this is a work that you cannot help but watch until the end because of the curiosity of 'Who is the real culprit?'
