I just think that scene insinuate the possibility of 2nd season. Maybe a copycat killer. That's all about it

A fun watch, especially for the first 20 episodes. The last 4 episodes, however, not as much. Packed with cringe-worthy scenes 😂. My rating: 7/10

I lowkey enjoying the story. While the plot may not be the best I've seen in a mystery-crime drama, most of the time, it has captured my attention. Nine Puzzles is one of those crime dramas where I found myself siding with the serial killer. I could empathized with the killer's motive behind the murders, and I felt outraged while watching what the 'victims' did. The cinematography and background music were excellent 🤌. Thanks to these elements, the scenes became more thrilling and creepy, just as intended. My rating : 7.5/10

I went into this expecting a full-on comedy ..... 😭 . With all those hints, I knew something sad happened halfway through the story. The doll should be listed as main character. 1 hour 56 minutes flew by fast . There were no dull scenes like in usual K-movies, and I really enjoyed the humour and their endearing relationship. My rating : 8.5/10.

It was a struggle to finish the last 4 episodes 🥲. My rating for the first 10 episodes : 8.5/10 . The last 4 episodes : 6/10

My thoughts:

✅ OST was lit. My favourites: Dim Light by Liu Yu Ning and Feeling Something in My Heart by Chen Du Ling & Zhou Yi Ran.
✅ Cinematography, costumes & the overall visual: 10/10
✖️The plot and script leave much to be desired. I enjoyed the first 1/3rd of the story, but it went downhill so fast; the rest of the plot was underwhelming, draggy and boring. The later arc was heavy on the politics, and it’s my least favourite genre. I mostly used the 2x speed button to complete the rest.
❌ No chemistry or spark between the leads 🥲. I could feel the awkwardness when they’re together. Instead of looking like a pair being in love, their relationship was more like a leader's and her subject's. FL had more chemistry with 2nd MLs, Xie Yan Fang and Deng Yi.
❌ I enjoyed Zhou Yi Ran’s acting in GTG, but here not so much. Maybe the problem lies with his dull character. Xie Yan Fang's and Deng Yi's characters were even more interesting and had more depth than the ML. Unlike her character in The Glory and Veil of Shadows, Chen Du Ling's Chu Zhao did not impressed me here.
🔴 My rating : 7/10

My thoughts:

✅️ Cinematography, costumes,visual : Great.
☑️ The character: It was refreshing to see main character with health problem like Ye Li. Mo Xiao Yao is a greenflag character except that one time after he knows the truth behind the edict. I did not enjoyed any of side character’s story .
✔️ The plot : Not really my cup of tea. Nothing I haven’t seen before in a political-family feud- revenge based drama. I mostly used 3X speed during my watching.
✔️ OST: So & so. None that made me want to add to my spotify playlist.
🔴 My rating :7.5/10

Overall, I enjoyed this drama immensely. A perfect stress reliever 👍. If you enjoyed Moving, Family Matters, and The Uncanny Counter and if these genres—fantasy + action + comedy + people with superpowers—are your cup of tea, you probably would enjoy The WONDERfools too. The last scene insinuated that there would be a season 2; I am just hoping it doesn't disappoint as many dramas do in their second seasons 🙏.

Yes that too lol

Approved of this title 👏👏👏! It sound refreshing. I like that they are not using words like Eternal, Blossom , Glory or Love in _______ in it 😃

What a disappointment❗️

I enjoyed the first 5 episodes. It was fun watching Baby Woo Ju and his uncle, but things started to go downhill when they introduced SML. Moving forward, he takes so much screentime with FL, like he is the real ML 😒. I don't care about that boring food company, annoying love triangle & infuriating absent father plot. They even played the "He's still your father" card when that man didn't deserve to be called that. The audacity of FL saying that to him! Her lack of empathy to Tae Hyung completely turned me off 🙄. As I am not interested in doing hate-watching, dropping this at episode 7 seem like a good decision at this moment.

My actual rating would be 8.7/10. I thoroughly enjoyed the first 30 episodes the plot was truly addicting made me sleep late at night 🤩. But the last 10 episodes, not so much. To me, things got a bit boring when they are at the capital and there's no Chang Ning..🥲. I had no complaint about the visuals ( especially Zhang Ling He's face card 💘💘💘),the acting,exquisite costumes ,chemistry between leads and the OST. Those were 10/10.

I can guess the reasons why this drama has below 8 rating:

❌️ FL's deception getting dragged for so long until there is no tension left before it became a focus again
❌️ Annoying SML
❌️ Full of cliche galore especially in the last 2 episodes

What I liked:

✅️Jang Ki Yong. What an eyecandy (10/10)
✅️ Gong Ji Hyeok. He was not your typical cold CEO but humorous & very expressive in showing his feelings
✅️ Chemistry between leads (9/10). There were times I felt like I was intruding into their private moment. Episode 12 👈 I am talking about you
✅️ The acting (8.5/10)
✅️ The humor (8.5/10)
✅️ Enjoyable plot (8/10) with moderate angstiness level (7.5/10)
✅️ The ending credit where they shows all the cast dancing 😄


My rating: 8.5/10 (my actual rating between 8.3-8.5) because I am feeling generous & despite the shortcomings, I enjoyed most part of the story.

It is up to me what ways I watched my drama bij. Who are you dictate how I do my drama watching? Do you pay for my internet bills or pay me to do my review? The answer is no , so STFU and start making your own review I really want to see how great it is 😊

No need to write a long essay about you not agreeing with my opinion. Instead of being this bothered, how about you write your own review and make it into the top review then? About my review becoming the top review, last time I checked, I did not ask people to make my review a top review 🤷‍♀️. It is like you are complaining about something that I can't control. Pay me money bij if you want me to write about your opinion about this drama, it ain't for free 😊.

What kind of ending was thattt! Where is the reunionn…. 😭 I was feeling generous initially ,ready to rate this 8.5/10 —with my actual rating: 8.3/10— until the last scene happened 😫. Now nope 8/10 it is.. Tbh, I enjoyed watching this drama more than I thought I would be. Pity ,the ending sucks..

Thanks for sharing your insights 👍

My review:

The plot is pretty average and the ending was a bit let down too but what I liked :-
✅️ The humor. A main reason why I gave this a high rating was because of this aspect was done very well.
✅️ How savage the grandmother was 😆. Her scenes with her zombie grandaughter always made me laugh lol.
✅️ The efforts Jeong Hwan made to save his daughter . It was heartwarming to see that he never give up on her ❤️.
✅️The synergy between Jeong Hwan and his friend , Dong Bae. He was such a true friend to Jeong Hwan 🫂.

My rating: 8/10

6.5? That bad huhh 😅
