Synopsis of Nine Puzzles
Nine Puzzles follows the story of Yoon Yi Na (played by Kim Da Mi), a talented criminal profiler who was the sole witness to an unsolved murder case from 10 years ago — the killing of her uncle, Senior Superintendent Yoon Dong Hoon. Surrounded by trauma and doubt, Yi Na wasn’t just a witness, but also the main suspect at the time, and she completely lost her memory of the event.
Determined to uncover the truth and free herself from the burden she carries, Yi Na becomes a profiler to use her skills to understand the minds of criminals. Despite her sharp mind and unique perception, she continues therapy, haunted by the fear that she may have killed the only family she had left.

By her side is Kim Han Saem (played by Son Suk Ku), a detective in the Violent Crimes Unit who never let go of his first case: the murder of Yoon Dong Hoon. Obsessed with solving the crime, he still suspects Yi Na after a decade. Han Saem is a perfectionist, obsessed with detail and crime novels, and is determined to solve this puzzle — one piece at a time.
