This Korean thriller is setting records on Disney+, and it's the perfect appetizer before Squid Game season 3 makes its Netflix debut

A still from Nine Puzzles featuring Kim Da-mi as Yoon E-na (L) and Son Suk-ku as Kim Han-saem.

New Korean serial killer drama Nine Puzzles has become the most-watched drama from the country on Disney+ in 2025, joining the ranks of the streamer's most-watched titles so far this year.

Released between May 21 and June 4 of this year, the show also had the most viewers overall across the Asia-Pacific region – no mean feat considering the second seasons of Andor and Doctor Who, two of the best Disney+ shows, were still going strong during that period. And, with the thriller continuing to gather momentum, don’t be surprised if it tops the charts in Western markets before long.
