*** Anushka Sen, is an Indian Television actress who rose to fame. However, last year, she announced her plan to enter the world of Hallyu content. The Indian actress has been to South Korea twice so far. She’s keeping herself open to the idea of collaborating with some of the biggest names in the Hallyu industry like actors Lee Min Ho and Lee Dong Wook, groups BTS and BLACKPINK one day. Below was the exclusive interview with Anushka Sen where she
mentioned that she wants to work with LMH.

Thanks for sharing the video. OMG, she is cute and so sweet. I would watch her in an SK Drama and that international drama she is working on sounds fun. Would watch if it is available. It would be fun if she is in a drama with LMH.

Hello , after a long hiatus, I was able to recover my soompi account. I just would like to share my meaningful sole trip to Seoul two weeks ago. It was a planned vacation (my 3rd time) since I wanted to experience winter in Korea with DIY ITs and all, my first after pandemic (last one was 2019). I was really excited to wander again and get lost but the highlight of my travel was Minho. I didn't expect to see myself shouting his name at DDP (thanks to IG stories and twitter I was able to know the DDP party for the opening of Fendi Palazzo few days before and I was already ay Seoul!!). Although I was able to see him 5 times when he visited Manila almost every year the last time was 2016 , I still dream of seeing him in Korea on one of my visits.And.... it actually came true. He's gorgeous as ever and very amiable unlike others who just passed by to us and not even bother to wave. We braved the freezing weather , we ran from one entrance to another. We were told to "get lost" by a bad ahjusssi one of the MIB bodyguards (men in black) in front of Art Hall (btw there were plenty of entrances and exits of the Art Hall). But we were firm and we followed the line and behaved well as fans. Thanks to the loyal Minoz, we're able to locate the entrance as they ran from one place to another we ran as well too. Haha. What an experience. And when someone said "that's his car please wave to him - a black genesis , my heart stopped and we waved and we waved (we're so positve he saw us waiving). But the car just suddenly went towards another Art Hall entrance to our dismay (our original location). ... But it made a u turn and headed back towards us. Suddenly, someone stepped out of the car- an old familiar face his bodyguard (the one who accompanied him in Canada). A minute after Minho stepped out of the car. The first thing he did was bow to us (such gesture is love) and he waved and flashed a beautiful and cheerful smile . What an experience really. This was my first time to see Jung Il Woo in person as well , also Song Hye Kyo and Lee Soo Hyuk too. I didn't notice Park Hyung Shik altho there were plenty of other celebrities who graced the event. I have a video but I don't know how to insert it here hehe.
Thanks for the update on your sightings. And welcome back.

@syntyche thanks for sharing this. Well, 7-months of filming is not too long. The average K-drama script would take an average of 6 - 12 months to be completed. Broadcast stations have primetime dramas running back to back all year round, and as one finishes, another is readied for airing….even if still incomplete. Shooting something is always going on in SK. A completed script synopsis is a given, but green-lighting a script usually only requires up to the 3rd or 4th episode (out of 12 - 16) to be mostly complete and OK’d by everyone involved in order to actively get finances rolling and begin pre-production. I've never seen/known a drama that had more than six finalized scripts before shooting starts. Most K-dramas ended on their seven - month filming journey. Good that this is a 12-EP K-drama. In order to catch the viewers' attention, the quick story development gives the viewers a sense of great immersion. Therefore the length of the drama is shortened with the story development speeding up . This became the trend, so broadcast stations also started to shorten the length of their dramas.
@Lindyloo421 is right when she said "Ask the stars shooting seemed to go on for months and months" It is definitely more than 7 months when they started the first reading, filming, etc. GHJ got married too. It was supposed to be 20 episodes and then 16. Is it only 12 now? That is too short for all those months of filming. If it is only 7 months, they should have started filming in July but it was much earlier than that. They should film 7 months straight with no breaks in between.

of the best moments was when the Variety interviewer at the Pachinko premier called him “ one of the biggest stars in the world”.
I agree with Willenette that it is a shame that its audience base was limited by being on apple- I read that Netflix also wanted it but Soo Hugh preferred apple, and what a masterpiece she created.I think she would have done better with Netflix, it could have been as good as Squid Games in Netflix. Apple does not have a wide audience. Almost everyone I know has Netflix but hardly any has Apple TV. Bad mistake if she wanted a wider audience.

Korean-language works win Critics Choice Awards for 4 consecutive years
'Pachinko' named Best Foreign Language Series
Apple TV+'s original series "Pachinko" has become the Best Foreign Language Series at this year's Critics Choice Awards, making it the fourth time for a film or a series in the Korean language to win a prize at one of the acclaimed U.S. awards.
The series beat eight other nominees, including another Korean-language series "Extraordinary Attorney Woo," at the ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday (local time).
Based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Min Jin Lee, the epic saga tells the story of a Korean immigrant family across four generations from the perspective of Sunja (Kim Min-ha), the family's matriarch.
It starts early in the life of Sunja, who is born to a hard-working family in the southeastern port city of Busan during the 1910-45 Japanese occupation of Korea. After being forced to move abroad to Japan, she struggles to protect her family through devastation and tragedy while trying to find a sense of belonging in a foreign land. The later life of Sunja is played by veteran actress Youn Yuh-jung.
A large part of the series was filmed in the Korean language, with Japanese and English also being used.
"Pachinko," which was released last March, has garnered popularity with its well-made cinematography and its heart-wrenching, dynamic story of a family. Following the eight episodes, the production of the second season has been confirmed.
The series was named one of the best TV programs of the year by the American Film Institute (AFI) last month and has been scoring several wins at awards, including the Best Breakthrough Series for a Long Format (over 40 minutes) at last year's Gotham Independent Film Awards.
Founded in 1996, the Critics Choice Awards is presented by the Critics Choice Association to recognize the finest cinematic achievements. The win of "Pachinko" in this year's awards has again shown enhanced attention to Korea-related content or content made by Korean creators in recent years.
Bong Joon-ho and his "Parasite" won Best Director and Best Foreign Language Film in 2020; "Minari" and Alan Kim clinched the Best Foreign Language Film and Best Young Actor awards in 2021; and Netflix series "Squid Game" and Lee Jung-jae notched the Best Foreign Language Series and Best Actor in a Drama Series awards in 2022.
Although failing to win an award, "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" was also nominated for the Best Foreign Language Series category.
The Korean-language films and series that have won awards or been nominated at the Critics Choice Awards were all in different genres, from legal dramas and survival thrillers to the history of the Korean diaspora, showing that various sides of Korea-related content are recognized globally.
Director Park Chan-wook's Cannes-winning film "Decision to Leave" was also nominated for this year's award for Best Foreign Language Film, competing with Germany's "All Quiet on the Western Front," France's "Close" and India's "RRR," but failed to score a win. The trophy went to the Indian action film "RRR."https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/art/2023/01/688_343692.html
Pity LMH could not attend the the ceremony. Many of them did. At least the critics recognized the brilliance of the drama.
I checked AppleTV recently but Pachinko was not listed in the Most Popular dramas section.

@fassker_fashion IG update
The TV program of the year, #Pachinko's main character #LeeMinho, Pachinko, the story of a Korean immigrant family, was named in the top 10 TV programs of the year by the American Film Institute (AFI)! Fall in love with the charm of Lee Min-ho, who plays the role of 'Hansu' that you can't hate even if you want to hate him
who is @fassker and was he the one who wrote this paragraph or was it taken from the AFI web site? I can't seem to find where it came from.
Thanks for sharing with us all the awards Pachinko was nominated for and some of the wins. There is bias with the Emmy's and Golden Globes and LMH did not win any nominations himself. His role is just too little except for Episode 7
On 12/26/2022 at 2:30 PM, syntyche said:Richard Roeper’s best TV of 2022
‘Pachinko,’ a deeply memorable depiction of several generations of a Korean family, tops the list.
1. ‘Pachinko’ (Apple TV+)
After one of the greatest opening credits sequences in television history, with the multi-generational cast dancing in a pachinko arcade to the sounds of the Grass Roots’ “Let’s Live For Today,” we get one of the best TV series in recent years — a masterfully spun, gorgeously photographed, beautifully acted and deeply memorable work following the journey of one Korean family across some 75 years. Based on the widely acclaimed novel by Min Jin Lee, “Pachinko” is a triumphant work with gleaming performances by the great Youn Yuh-Jung (Oscar winner for “Minari”), Lee Minho, Minha Kim, Soji Arai and Jin Ha. Very specific to one family and yet universally relatable, “Pachinko” is a breathtakingly original treasure.
Really is a shame Pachinko was left out of the big awards. The news media likes Pachinko at least.
On 12/28/2022 at 12:39 AM, syntyche said:The Best TV Episodes of 2022
We watched a whole lot of television this year and have compiled a definitive ranking of the best of the best.
As 2022 draws to a close, it provides a bittersweet opportunity to take stock of some of the best episodes of television that we saw this year. In a streaming landscape where even the creators of the shows themselves don’t know if they will vanish without warning, this type of reflection feels different from any other.
While it is still very much about highlighting great work, it also serves as a farewell to many shows who have either been canceled too soon or may be the next to be sent into the unknowns of streaming limbo. One hopes that this will not be the case, but the act of appreciation is still all the more important as a way to hold on to what we do have while it is still here. Thus, here are the best TV episodes of 2022 that we were not just entertained by but often deeply moved by in small ways.
"Chapter Seven,” Pachinko
No list would be complete without a recognition of one of the most sublime shows of the year. While Pachinko, based on the outstanding novel of the same name by Min Jin Lee, was wrongfully snubbed by the Emmys, it will always hold a place in our hearts when we look back on this mess of a year. The episode simply entitled “Chapter Seven” is one of the reasons why, as it centered on the character of Hansu (Lee Min-ho) and brought his own harrowing brush with death into the forefront of the story. As directed by the visionary Kogonada, it was an absolutely shattering part of a season that was never lacking in such moments.

I love that a number of them singled out Episode 7, kudos to director and LMH for that episode.

The best TV series characters of 2022
It is the outsiders who have conquered the small screen and the lovers of seriality in the past year.
Among the memorable characters of recent TV series there are no immaculate heroes, no paladins of society, no unequivocally positive characters and no figure that we can classify as the exemplary citizen conforming to the limited decorum of the majority. They are all outsiders, bizarre, rebellious types , full of idiosyncrasies and "different" who visibly stand out from the crowd and yet have been able to seduce the mainstream public, i.e. those who actually despise, ghettoize or even bully them on a daily basis. With the exception of one, they are all unreleased figures from TV series that debuted on streaming platforms this year in new productions or “ returning ” shows. Here's who they are, in our opinion,the best characters of the tv series of 2022.
Koh Hansu, Pachinko
The gangster who in Lee Min-jin's bestselling novel seduced the adolescent Sunja - the descendant of a very poor family prostrated by the war - was a decidedly negative figure, a powerful and unscrupulous man who acted as a guardian angel to her and her family only because the latter had been able to give him a much desired son. Actor Lee Min-ho's thoughtful performance and Soo Hugh's shrewd script make him a tormented anti-hero, a survivor who maintains his own moral code and who has genuine affection for the young girl whose life he upended. The episode entirely dedicated to his past was named one of the best of the small screen by the New York Times .
Thank you! I was wondering where it was from but it is in Spanish, I thought Wired was an English language magazine. Had to use translate

Korean media widely reported Episode 7 of Pachinko was selected as the best TV episode of 2022 by major U.S. media yesterday. Knetz comments as following :
cr. and translate : forlmhonly
Pachinko: “Chapter Seven” (Apple TV+, Season One, Episode Seven)
Pachinko is a haunting historical epic about one family’s journey during and after the Japanese occupation of Korea. The seventh chapter flashed back to the earlier life of one of the show’s villains, Hansu (Lee Min-Ho), a Korean man willingly collaborating with the invaders. Set around the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, it’s a tragic origin story that complicates our feelings about Hansu, and also a chilling portrait of how disaster can sometimes bring about the absolute worst in people, rather than the best.
Thank You!

Thank you. So they are the third magazine to recognize Chapter 7, so proud that it mainly concentrated on Hansu and not even in the book. Anyone can find the original article for the Rolling Stones article? I tried today but could not find it. Maybe one of you can succeed?
Wow! What a treat, LMH top in Kofice and Pachinko #1 in Chicago Tribune. The Emmy's and Golden Globe really did a disservice by not even nominating them. Good for the news media.

I'm not surprised that Pachinko was snubbed by Western Award Bodies like Emmys, HCA and now Golden Globes. Racism and corruption play big roles in these awards. I was reading about how 'Emily in Paris' bribed the Golden Globe voters to get nomination and recently saw how HBO sent such extravagant PR packages to critics/voters for 'White Lotus.' These Awards show are now far from fairness and objectivity, politics is more dominant.
Apple TV was not doing anything extravagant to promote Pachinko during the awards season, they only did it for Severance, so its not surprising that Pachinko won't receive nominations from major awards. We as LMH fans just have to accept this fact and it's best that we don't have high expectations on this.
I really agree to what this Minoz said bellow:
Pachinko is not a K-drama but it's also not really accepted as 'Hollywood' show, it is something on its own. LMH has been a trendsetter since the beginning, so we just need to be happy and support what he chooses, especially Pachinko, as it is a very meaningful work for him. LMH said himself that he's happy and satisfied to see viewers responses to Pachinko.
This is interesting, that Apple pushed Severance but not Pachinko. There wasn't much promotion for Pachinko actually, I noticed that. If Apple is not proud of Pachinko, I am not surprised the Globes and Emmy ignored them, even with all the rave reviews, they were snubbed and that Emily in Paris got a nomination. The drama is fun but not Golden Globe material. I like the supporting cast but don't think much of the actress acting as Emily. What an outrage!
Best Actor in a TV Series (Drama)
- Bob Odenkirk — “Better Call Saul” (AMC)

- Jason Bateman — “Ozark” (Netflix)

It’s brilliant that Pachinko won Best International drama award at Edinburgh.
It’s the first Edinburgh win for Apple as well.
Pachinko was up against Succession and Squid Game as well as several other good dramas.
I hope this helps make up for the Emmy disappointment for the marvellous cast and crew.
It is great that Pachinko beat Succession and Squid. It is finally being recognized for the masterpiece that it is. In the US, Apple's Severance received all the accolades in the US Emmy's. It had 14 nominations. I wonder if Severance was in the Edinburgh awards?
@CarolynH, I would not pick BOF as first and not even include Heirs. Even though I like Pachinko, he has such a small presence. I like all of his dramas, even Faith and PT.

@CarolynH Your BTS above, I wonder if it is from Season 1. I doubt he will be dressed as young Hansu for the new season. The film crew are wearing masks, and I doubt they wear masks in Canada any longer. The scenes all seem as though they are from Season 1. Just saying, I could be wrong.
Too bad we aren't allowed to quote twitter posts so I am not sure how to quote your post above. Grrr!
There must be an error, the fine cannot be hundreds of millions of DOLLARS. I doubt he even has hundreds of millions of dollars. That is a huge amount of money
