Everything To Know About Apple TV’s Pachinko Series

 

The historical drama brings together some of Korea's brightest stars.

 

 

Korean dramas know how to hook fans. Whether it’s cheesy romcoms or thrillers, K-dramas keep breaking Netflix’s viewership records. As other major platforms are following suit and even filming American versions of Korean classics, another highly-anticipated drama based on a best-selling novel will be coming to a streaming service near you.

 

In 2019, Deadline reported that Apple TV+ was adapting the 2017 sophomore book by Min Jin Lee, Pachinko. The story follows four generations of a Korean immigrant family through Korea, Japan, and the U.S. during the Japanese Occupation, World War II, and after. It’s a harrowing take on racism, imperialism, and immigration. While Lee will serve as co-producer, Soo Hugh (The Terror) will be writing the eight-episode series. Here’s everything to know about Pachinko, including its star-studded cast and how the show diverts from the book.

 

How Does Pachinko’s Plot Differ From The Book?

The ambitious three-part epic follows the story of Sunja, a Korean daughter of modest business owners, as she marries, gives birth, and immigrates to Osaka during geopolitical turbulence in Korea. Her story is both riveting and heartbreaking. Sunja falls in love with Koh Hansu, a wealthy, Japanese-adopted Korean, who impregnates her before revealing he’s married. After learning about her complicated situation, a kind minister, Baek Isak, marries her, and they immigrate to Japan to live with Baek’s brother Yoseb and sister Kyunghee.

 

By Part II, she has two sons — Noa, her child with Hansu, and Mozasu, with Isak. Unfortunately, Isak is imprisoned and, to support their household, Sunja and Kyunghee start selling kimchi. After the war, which briefly derails their lives, Noa finishes school while Mozasu works at a pachinko parlor (similar to slot machines) to help with finances at home. He marries young, and his son, Solomon, is born.

 

Mozasu becomes the owner of pachinko franchises (typically frowned upon) and grows wealthy. He never remarries, but he lands him a girlfriend named Etsuko, who has a troubled daughter named Hana. Meanwhile, Noa, who finds out the identity of his father and his ties with Japanese crime syndicates, disowns the family and leaves. When Sunja reconnects with him decades later, he commits suicide.

 

How closely the plot will follow the novel is unclear, especially with the author on board. According to the IMDB episode listings, though, it seems like other characters will be highlighted in the series. Hana, specifically, seems to have more of a presence than in the novel. It’s possible the series will use a flashback format and be told through the lens of the fourth generation Baeks in America.

 

The Pachinko Cast

Minari Oscar winner Youn Yuh-jung as Sunja was one of the first actors announced to join the cast of the period drama. Kim Min-ha will play a young Sunja. It’ll be her first acting role after a short in 2020.

 

Lee Min-ho also made waves when he was cast as Sunja’s love interest, Hansu. The actor, who has been a K-drama leading man since his 2009 hit show Boys Over Flowers, talked about his nerve-racking audition experience. “It’s been about a decade since I auditioned,” he told GQ Korea via Soompi, adding, “I felt very pressured about having to do well. I was really nervous and excited, and I was really happy when I got the part.” In the series, he reunites with his The King: Eternal Monarch co-star Jung Eun-chae, who plays Kyunghee.

 

Mari Yamamoto (Kate), who plays the troubled Hana, has the most episode appearances, according to IMDB. So it’s likely that the story will revolve around her and Solomon (Jin Ha of Devs). Yu Matsushita (The Flash), Martin Martinez (Never Have I Ever), and Yoshio Maki (The Runaways) are set to play new characters, like newscaster Angelo and Katsu Abe, with multi-episode arcs.

 

Baek Isak and Mozasu will be played by Steve Sang-hyun Noh (Sense8) and Soji Arai (Cobra Kai). While Yoon Seo-ho, Anna Sawai, Maddy Hillis, and Felice Choi round out the rest of the cast.

 

The Pachinko Release Date & Trailer

The series was originally set to premiere in late 2021, but like most projects these days, the release was delayed. Though the series wrapped filming early this year, no official release date has been set.

Every Detail About Apple TV’s Pachinko Series

 

A star-studded cast brings Min Jin Lee’s critically acclaimed novel to life.

 

Pachinko, Min Jin Lee’s epic historical novel, will be adapted for television. Apple TV+ will soon be home to a show with similar lofty goals. Lee Min-ho, a Korean icon, is among the already-announced stellar cast and crew.

 

The Impressive Cast Of This Upcoming Series Ensures That It Will Be Entertaining.

 

So far, here’s what we know:

-Lee Min-ho discusses his role as Hansu in Pachinko.

-There are new clips of Kim Min-ha as Sunja as a young girl on the internet.

-On social media, the first photos of Lee Min-ho on the set of Pachinko have surfaced.

-According to rumors, Jung Woong-in will be joining the cast.

-Youn Yuh-Jung, one of Korea’s most famous actresses, has recently joined the cast.

 

 

Is There A Story Behind The Game Of Pachinko

Pachinko follows the journey of a Korean family who relocates to Japan during Japan’s occupation of a then-unified Korea and their participation in World War II.

Pachinko’s appeal stems from Lee’s ability to seamlessly weave characters into this timeline. Sunja makes the difficult decision to travel to Japan while living in poverty, where she discovers a deep-seated anti-Korean prejudice.

 

When did Pachinko first appear

Despite the novel’s 490-page length, Deadline reports that an eight-episode special is in the works. Soo Hugh (The Terror) is the showrunner, and he has yet to reveal whether he intends to faithfully follow the events of the novel or introduce new plot elements.

 

Who Will Be Playing Pachinko

According to Deadline, the cast includes established Asian stars as well as Hollywood newcomers, with dialogue in English, Japanese, and Korean and locations on multiple continents.

Lee Min-ho, a well-known South Korean actor, was the first to be announced as a member of the show’s main cast in October. Hansu will be played by The King: Eternal Monarch’s star.

The former is a wealthy businessman looking for his long-lost daughter, whereas the latter is a self-sufficient woman. Anna Sawai, a Japanese-New Zealander who appeared in Fast and Furious 9, will play Naomi, a careerist in the male-dominated world of finance.

Kogonada and Justin Chon will direct four episodes each, with Kogonada directing the show’s pilot episode. Along with Min Jin Lee, both directors will serve as executive producers.

 

What Do The Actors Think Of The Pachinko TV Show

Lee Min-ho stated in an interview with Esquire Korea in September 2021 that he wanted to portray his character Hansu “truthfully” by capturing “the male image from that era.”

He explained, “I wanted to stay true to the character.” At the time, I tried to concentrate on how desperate they were for survival.

The actor was aiming for a character who has survived and met the woman he loves. I also wanted to demonstrate how people can positively express their love for one another.

 

Trailer

There is currently no trailer for the series. I expect it to arrive around the time of the premiere.

 

Do You Know How And Where To Watch Pachinko The Right Way

Pachinko must be an original Apple production in order to be available on Apple TV+, the company’s on-demand streaming television service. You can access the service by using the Apple TV app, which is free for a year on any Apple device.

The Age staff share their favourite books and shows of 2021

 

The Age staff share the books and TV shows that brought them comfort, laughter and a welcome escape from the news – and what’s next on their to-read piles.

 

Sumeyya Ilanbey, state political reporter

 

Favourite book: Pachinko by Min Jin Lee, a historical novel that follows a Korean family that migrate to Japan and documents their experience of poverty and racism. It is a story that encapsulates the immigrant experience, and the struggles of three generations of a Korean family who are treated as second-class citizens in Japan. It opened my eyes to a history I was not familiar with.

 

Pachinko by Min Jin Lee (pictured) was one of state political reporter Sumeyya Ilanbey’s favourite reads of the year.

Next year's OTT competition is hotter than this year's

 

The OTT market, which was hot due to competition for original content this year, is expected to heat up next year.

In particular, Netflix, which has been in a dominant position in the market, is expected to face internal strife next year over a network usage fee lawsuit with SK Broadband. On top of that, Wavve and Tving will strengthen their original content lineup and seek overseas expansion. Disney Plus and Apple TV Plus, which were released in Korea in the second half of this year, will enter the competition for original content in earnest starting next year.

 

Apple TV Plus, which was released in the same month as Disney Plus, has not heard about the production of original Korean content since "Doctor Brain." However, as "Doctor Brain" has achieved certain results, there is still a possibility of producing original Korean content in the future.

 

The drama "Pachinko," produced by Korean-American director Justin Jeon, will be released next year. Pachinko is a work that tells the story of Koreans who moved to the U.S. during the Japanese colonial period, and Korean actors Yoon Yeo-jung and Lee Min-ho appeared, drawing attention.

 

With the launch of Apple TV Plus, Apple unveiled its set-top box, Apple TV 4K. While SK Broadband has partnered with SK Broadband to sell on consignment, SK Broadband recently released a product combined with Apple TV 4K.

Since this work is classified as an "American work" created by Apple TV + headquarters and local staff, if Yoon Yeo Jung puts on a performance as strong as "Minari", an Emmy Award from the American Academy of Television Arts and Sciences is also worth Togo. sight.

 

Lee Min Ho, Park Seo Joon and Jo In Sung, 2022 is mine!

 

Popular Hallyu stars such as Lee Min Ho, Park Seo Joon and Jo In Sung will showcase their activities towards peace in 2022. Since they are already so popular that they have traveled around Asia, it is expected that the power of K content and K stars will double if their work is successful around the world.

Lee Min Ho and Yoon Yeo Jung lead Pachinko. Lee Min Ho, who plays the role of a Korean who grew up over the past year, has already finished filming this drama about the hard life and personality of Korean immigrants who migrated to Japan and the United States after the Japanese colonial period. However, Lee Min Ho and Yoon Yeo Jung do not appear together because "Pachinko" was filmed for the era.

A broadcast spokesman said: “Pachinko was chosen by the New York Times for 2017 Book of the Year, and former US President Barack Obama has presented her as a“ charming book ”on his social network. He predicted, "In addition to Lee Min Ho and Yoon Yeo Jung, this work, which features Korean actors such as Jung Eun Che and Kim Min Ha, will further increase Western interest in Korean history and culture."

THE TOP 20 MOST ANTICIPATED STREAMING TITLES OF 2022

 

As some of the biggest streaming services saw their subscriber growth slow in 2021, it’s certain that the competition in the year ahead will be heightened as companies aim to show investors that they’re not falling behind. Moreover, companies have been pointing to 2022 as a year that will allow them to release marquee content that was delayed due to the pandemic.  

To help make sense of the sheer tonnage releasing in 2022, Variety Intelligence Platform curated a list of its most anticipated titles set to release in the year ahead. Below is a list of the 20 TV series or movies, in no particular order beyond being organized by platform, that could be the biggest attractions for their respective streaming homes in the coming year. 

 

Pachinko (TBD 2022) 

The development of “Pachinko” may not be known to many TV viewers who don’t follow Apple TV+ closely, but it’s going to be a notable release because of its reportedly big budget — THR in August 2018 reported that the series would have a budget comparable to that of Netflix’s “The Crown.” And VIP+ previously argued why it’s imperative for Apple TV+ to start regularly pumping out more big-budgeted original TV series. Apple TV+’s “Pachinko,” which doesn’t yet have an official release date but is reported by THR to be slated for 2022, is an adaption of Min Jin Lee’s novel of the same name that follows the story of a Korean family in Japan. The NYT named “Pachinko” as one of its 10 best books of 2017.

"Second Squid Game", Actors and Directors Challenge New Year's OTT ...

 

Park Eugene ⁄ 2022.01.12

 

This year, many middle-aged actors and directors, recognized for their acting and on-screen popularity, are challenging OTT for global success such as The Squid Game ...

 

 

The new "Pachinko" Apple TV Plus is getting a lot of attention not only in Korea but also overseas. Dr. Brain, the first original Korean content on Apple TV Plus, is a drama starring Song Kyun Lee. It was director Kim Ji Woon's first dramatic challenge for Spying and I Saw the Devil, but it was left out of the question due to poor accessibility and lack of marketing.

 

Patchinko is the second global content introduced by Apple TV Plus after Doctor Brain, featuring Yoon Yeo Jung and Lee Min Ho. It is known as a global project, which is co-produced by actors from Korea, Japan and the United States and is conducted in three languages: Korean, Japanese and English.
