Your Kim Da-mi binge guide: the movies and K-dramas you need to watch
'The Witch: Part 2. The Other One' The sequel focuses on a new character, and although Kim Da-mi's role is pivotal in driving the plot forward and setting up possible sequels, her time on screen is limited. She appears toward the end of the film in what is essentially a cameo appearance. 'Itaewon Class' In Itaewon Class , one of Netflix's biggest global K-drama hits, Kim Da-mi stars opposite Hallyu veteran Park Seo-joon (Park Saeroyi) as the fearless, intelligent and highly unconventional Jo Yi-seo. Kim Da-mi skillfully portrays Yi-seo's journey from a precocious teen to a savvy twenty-something, proving her versatility yet again. Throughout this transformation, Yi-seo's unwavering support for Saeroyi—instrumental in helping him fulfil his lifelong ambitions—is rivalled only by her stubborn and single-minded efforts to win his heart. 'Our Beloved Summer' As a young couple, Choi Ung (Choi Woo-shik) and Kook Yeon-soo's (Kim Da-mi) relationship is a textbook case of 'right person, wrong time'. But when circumstances bring them together again in adulthood, they're older, wiser and perhaps ready for a second chance at love. Kim Da-mi reunites with her Witch co-star Choi Woo-shik in the fan-favourite K-drama Our Beloved Summer . Their chemistry remains undeniable as they switch gears from supernatural thriller to romantic comedy, from sworn enemies to bickering ex-sweethearts. Don't miss: 8 slice-of-life K-dramas with no villains—just love, growth and healing 'Soulmate' Soulmate is a coming-of-age movie that chronicles the lifelong friendship between Mi-so (Kim Da-mi) and Ha-eun (Jeon So-nee). It's a bond formed in childhood, rocked by the follies of youth, and tested by time and distance. The movie explores the beauty and complexity of female friendships—how it can be both tender and tumultuous, and how they shape the women we become. Life may have torn Mi-so and Ha-eun apart, but their powerful connection becomes the saving grace that helps carry their story forward. 'Nine Puzzles' In the Disney+ K-drama Nine Puzzles , Kim Da-mi stars as Yoon E-na, a sharp criminal profiler with a complicated past. When a serial killer starts leaving clues that tie back to her uncle's unsolved murder, she partners with Kim Han-saem (Son Suk-ku), a seasoned investigator, to catch the killer. It's an uneasy alliance, riddled with major trust issues—Han-saem suspects that E-na, the sole witness to her uncle's death, may have been the killer all along. But if they want to put the pieces together, they must set their differences aside to solve this deadly puzzle.

(Photo: IMDb) Scheduled to drop on Netflix later this year, the post-apocalyptic action thriller follows An-na (Kim Da-mi) and Hee-jo (Park Hae-soo) as they struggle to survive a catastrophic flood while trapped inside a high-rise apartment complex. As the waters rise, the two must face hidden dangers and hidden truths.

Murder mystery pop-up inspired by K-drama Nine Puzzles lets you take a shot at playing detective , Entertainment News
When it comes to dealing with logic and puzzle-solving, I like to think I'm not the most proficient — evidenced by how I've never successfully completed those tricky escape-room missions. So when I got the invitation to go investigate a whole 'crime scene', I thought, "No way, the murder's going to go unsolved". But perhaps with teamwork, I might have a better shot at this 'detective' gig. Today (May 23), my colleague Jeng Jee and I visited the free Nine Puzzles: Decoded pop-up experience located at Plaza Singapura, before it opens to the public, to solve a string of riddles that follows an intriguing crime storyline. Inspired by Disney+'s new K-drama Nine Puzzles starring Kim Da-mi and Son Suk-ku, the 'investigation' begins when a 'murder' is discovered. Answer a series of questions and you'll receive the first puzzle piece. There are a total of nine zones where you'd have to scrutinise crime scene photos, look for clues, decipher codes and analyse the suspects. Walking to the pop-up, we were greeted by an ominous red curtain that leads into a dark room with a TV playing video clips of the drama Nine Puzzles. Jeng Jee and I were bathed in red light and could barely see each other, until we were handed nifty mini flashlights by the event crew. They also gave us a bulky case file each filled with papers of the puzzles we had to solve, along with a pen and puzzle frame. After solving each, we would be given a puzzle piece and there are eight to collect. Thereafter, we were on our own. In the zones, we were to complete tasks like spot the differences, memorise variables as fast as possible, match and organise cards, and shine UV torchlights on objects to look for fingerprints. Our observation and memory skills were really put to the test, forcing me and Jeng Jee to put our answers together to get through some of the puzzles. But what's a pop-up without a photo op? We were drawn to the section What Happens Next which was pretty crowded as it had a little TV set everyone was trying to peek at for clues and a dainty little chair to sit and take pictures on. Anyway, if you're anything like me (bad at puzzles), you'll be pleased to know that this zone gives you a mental break and you don't actually need to decode anything to get your puzzle piece — just soak in the good acting on screen! After getting all eight puzzle pieces, we submitted it to a crew member dressed in an officer jacket. Afterwards, he directed us to another 'officer' who instructed us to get our complimentary mugshot or profiler photo taken. Overall, had it not been for my teamwork with Jeng Jee, I'm confident I would've given up halfway. I highly recommend you visit this pop-up with a friend and laugh at each other's intellectual blunders like we did and have an immersive taste of the detective life for the day. To try your shot at being a sleuth, head down to the pop-up located at Plaza Singapura B2-17/18. It runs from May 24 to June 10, and is open from 3pm - 9pm on weekdays and 11am - 10pm on weekends. Mystery thriller Nine Puzzles follows Yoon E-na (Da-mi), who discovers the body of her murdered uncle next to a single puzzle piece and is deemed the sole witness to the murder case. The case remains unsolved. A decade later, detective Kim Han-saem (Suk-ku) who had initially suspected E-na as the murderer, is surprised when she shows up as a criminal profiler in his unit. Together, they try to uncover the secrets behind a series of murders. Nine Puzzles, which also stars Kim Sung-kyun and Hyun Bong-sik, is now available for streaming exclusively on Disney+. It also features cameo appearances from Park Sung-woong, Lee Sung-min, Hwang Jung-min, Lee Hee-joon as well as Ji Jin-hee.
