‘Nine Puzzles' becomes Disney+'s most-watched Korean series of 2025 within 9 days after its global premiere
Disney+ has announced that its latest Korean drama 'Nine Puzzles' has become the platform's most-watched Korean series globally in 2025. The gripping crime thriller reached this milestone just nine days after its debut on May 21. Starring 'The Witch's Kim Dami as Yoon E-na, 'Nine Puzzles' follows the story of a young woman whose life was changed by a shocking murder. As a high school student, E-na discovered her uncle's lifeless body at home, with a strange puzzle piece lying next to him. With no memory of how she got there, and being the only witness, she quickly became the prime suspect. Ten years later, E-na has transformed into a skilled criminal profiler working for the Seoul Metropolitan Police. But the trauma of her uncle's unsolved case still haunts her. When a new string of murders emerges—each one marked by the same type of puzzle piece—E-na is pulled back into the past. She must now work alongside Detective Kim Han-saem, played by 'My Liberation Notes' Son Sukku, who originally led the investigation into her uncle's death and still quietly questions her innocence. Directed by Yoon Jongbin and written by Lee Eunmi, the show features a strong supporting cast including Kim Sungkyun and Hyun Bongsik. 'Nine Puzzles' joins a growing list of Korean titles on Disney+, such as 'Unmasked' and 'Hyper Knife'. Upcoming releases include 'Low Life', a treasure-hunting adventure starring Ryu Seungryong, and 'Tempest', an international thriller featuring Gang Dongwon and John Cho. Another K-drama that is all set to be streamed on Disney+ in the second half of the year is 'The Manipulated'. Starring Ji Changwook and Do Kyungsoo, the release date of this show is yet to be announced. The series has captivated audiences with its suspenseful plot, emotional depth, and standout performances—making it a standout hit in Disney+'s global line-up.

While waiting at home for his return in plague-ridden Wisborg, his lovely wife (Lily-Rose Depp) starts to have strange, psycho-sexual dreams about the creepy count, a being of pure evil that has become obsessed with the young is one for those who like their horror gothic. Very, very gothic. Writer/director Robert Eggers has nicely blended elements of Bram Stoker's original 1897 Dracula with F.W. Murnau's (unauthorized) 1922 silent-film adaptation and added his own inimical innovations in sumptuous Eggers's most effective decisions are in the casting. The vampire is brilliantly played by Bill Skarsgard, who's no stranger to creepy characters (he was the sewer-dwelling clown Pennywise in It). Egger regular Willem Dafoe demonstrates great range as an occult expert who steps in when the count arrives in Germany and starts making macabre the biggest takeaway is the stunning performance by Depp. She frequently manages to eclipse even Skarsgard, which is no easy manner. Jonny's kid was born to play this sensuous, physically demanding part. This is Egger's best film to date, and that's saying something. Remember this is the guy behind such viscerally ethereal films as The Witch, The Northman and The Lighthouse. If you're on his vibe, you have a major gothic treat in store.
