In the Disney+ series Nine puzzles, Kim The Hurror is transfused in the TuboneA different character from any typical female lead in Korean criminal dramas. Witness of the murder of his uncle as a teenager, Yoon grows to become a profiler that chases a series of mysterious killings. Avoiding the typical gritty detective archetype, the e-na follows its intuitive style of flow of consciousness: often eccentric, but constantly perspective.
In a recent interview on Samcheong-Dong in Seoul, Kim Da-Mi opened to play Yoon E-naRevealing his weighted approach for the creation of a character who is both cartoon and emotionally rooted.
“Since the e-n is such a stylized character, I have paid attention to the rhythm and speed of its lines. It is childish, sometimes forgotten and expresses only one’s emotions, so I interpreted it as someone who is not familiar with empathy but brilliant in profiling” Kim explained.
The surprising visual identity of Yoon e-na complete with bright red bonds, bold accessories and colorful nail art was not a coincidence. “Director Yoon Jong-Bin wanted the tone of the ship to sit somewhere between Comic and Real”, Kim said. “I added objects such as star-shaped earrings and glasses for profiling of the scenes to express the playful but analytical mind of e-na.”
Kim chose Nine puzzles After reading the screenplay in one session.“There were still no confirmed cast members. It was just the screenplay and I couldn’t stop reading”, He shared. Having previously explored female roles rooted but expressive in ITEWON class AND Soul mateKim found the criminal thriller that blends the genre a new and tempting challenge.
Work with veterans actors like Son Suk-Ku, Lee Sung-MinAND Hwang Jung-Min it could be discouraging, but Kim described the experience as enriching rather than intimidating. “They made me feel safe to try anything in a scene. Especially with my son Suk-Ku, I trusted anything I did, he would have responded truthfully”, Kim said.
He also underlined the non-romantic dynamics between e-na and Han Saem (played by his son Suk-Ku), who felt strengthened the attention of narration to psychology and mystery. Despite the surreal tone of Nine puzzlesKim has rooted his performance in emotional truth. “I always try to make the character feel like a real person”, he said. “This is what I want spectators to see, not me, but someone who could exist in real life.”
With every role he chooses, Kim Da-Mi continues to build a reputation of actress who vanishes in his charactersoffering shows that resonate deeply without ever feeling artificial.
“There is no secret for my consistency”, He concluded. “I only chose roles that I am curious. Even if something is not successful commercially, I don’t want to have regrets.”Through Nine puzzlesKim Da-Mi once again shows since sincerity, combined with an acute instinct and emotional intelligence, It is the real distinctive sign of a compelling actor.
