Story

Bong Hee is a young stylist who was assigned to work with a famous idol group, before they had a plane crush and went missing. And Bong Hee was the only one found alive. Now, and even though she is suffering from amnesia and can’t remember what happened, she is forced to account for what took place on the island and where are the rest of the passengers.

Missing Nine has a suspenseful story with nine survivors trying to stay alive on an island. The story gets even more thrilling when the plot adds the factor of insanity and a ruthless killer among them.

And even though the ending was too idealistic and a big letdown compared to the rest of the drama and its darker mood, the overall story is enjoyable and handled nicely.

The dynamics between the nine survivors and the creation of their small society were another plus for the drama.
