Actress Kim Da Mi<\/a> recently shared insights about her character Yoon Ena<\/strong> in the popular Disney+<\/strong> original series ‘Nine Puzzles<\/strong>.’<\/p>\n

On June 5, Kim Da Mi met with media\u00a0outlet\u00a0Xports<\/strong>\u00a0News<\/strong> at a caf\u00e9 in Jongno, Seoul, to discuss the show.<\/p>\n

‘Nine Puzzles’ is a mystery thriller that follows Ena (played by Kim Da Mi), a genius profiler and the sole witness to a 10-year-old unsolved murder case. She becomes entangled in a new string of serial killings, reawakening suspicions from Detective Han Saem<\/strong> (played by Son Suk Ku<\/strong>), who still considers her a suspect. Together, they unravel the secrets behind these puzzling crimes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ena is portrayed as the first eyewitness in her uncle’s murder case, possessing extraordinary profiling skills and a distinctive tone and atmosphere that feel almost surreal or otherworldly.<\/p>\n

Speaking about her character, Kim Da Mi said,\u00a0\u201cEna is someone who speaks quickly because thoughts pop into her head instantly. I wanted to give her a rhythmic, almost cartoonish, and fairytale-like quality. Since she has a lot of explanatory lines, I used many hand gestures. I focused on capturing these elements during filming, her anxious demeanor, fast breathing, and how she often doesn\u2019t listen to others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some viewers interpreted Ena\u2019s calm and emotionless expression, even in the face of death, as sociopathic. Kim Da Mi responded,\u00a0\u201cI think Ena is someone with an exceptional talent in a specific area. She’s imaginative and has intense focus when profiling. She cares for her team and seeks love, so I don\u2019t think she lacks social skills entirely, though I would say she\u2019s not very socially adept. She\u2019s a genius with highly developed abilities in one area, and she becomes anxious if that area isn\u2019t working properly. But I never saw her as a sociopath.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ena\u2019s unusual speech and expression, not typical of professional profilers, drew mixed reactions from audiences.<\/p>\n

Kim Da Mi\u00a0admitted. \u201cI anticipated that some people might feel divided.\u00a0It can be jarring when a character with such a high tone leads the story. Since she\u2019s the focal point of the narrative, it might feel disconnected at times.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, she added, \u201cBut I actually saw that as a defining trait. That contrast might be what makes ‘Nine Puzzles’ unique. I think the character\u2019s quirks add a different dimension to the drama.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Kim Da Mi\u00a0continued,\u00a0\u201cI was worried that since Ina doesn\u2019t express her emotions in a typical way, viewers might struggle to relate to her. At first, I thought that might be okay, but the director emphasized that viewers should be able to empathize with her. That\u2019s why we added more emotional vulnerability in the scene where she confides in Seungjoo.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actress said,\u00a0\u201cNormally, I don\u2019t speak in such a high tone. But since it\u2019s still me playing the role, aspects of my personality naturally came through. I definitely acted in a much higher tone than usual, and that\u2019s a side of me viewers will only see in ‘Nine Puzzles’.\u201d<\/p>\n

‘Nine Puzzles’ is currently streaming on Disney+.<\/p>\n
