Pachinko

 

When Min Jin Lee’s book Pachinko was first published back in 2017, its cover soon became ubiquitous wherever you went. The life and family history of Kim Sunja—which spanned much of the twentieth century and captured a history of colonialism and immigration in Japan, Korea and the United States—gripped readers who welcomed such a complex tale of being and belonging. Adapting the bestseller for the small screen armed with a cast that included not only recent Oscar winner Youn Yuh-jung but the likes of Lee Min-ho, Soo Hugh developed Pachinko into a handsome period piece that tenderly traces an intergenerational saga that begins in Japan-occupied Korea in the 1920s and splinters its aching melodrama plots in the lifetimes that follow, playfully putting that titular matching game at its center. Directed by Kogonada and Justin Chon with an eye and ear for the often clashing, often complementary cultures conjured in this story of memory and survival, this literate adaptation grounds painful histories in heartrending tales of love and loss. For depicting a sweeping, decades-spanning family history that feels intimately personal and gloriously epic in equal measure, and for presenting a global, forward-thinking vision of contemporary television that defies borders while telling culturally specific tales, Pachinko wins a Peabody.

Will it be wrapped up on the 18th June or the filming is wrapped up? Which means it is in post-production?

I believe the filming will be completed by the end of June.

Hope the stunt coordinator is correct; i.e. that season 2 is as good as season 1.

I don't remember Hansu having his hand in the mining business.  

[CarolynH]

A little earlier than I thought.  Hmm, maybe we may it is the end of the year?

Pachinko’ Creator Inks Overall Deal With Apple

 

Pachinko creator Soo Hugh is expanding her relationship with the teams behind the critical darling.

Hugh has signed a multiple-year overall deal with Apple and Pachinko producers Media Res. Hugh, who was previously at Universal Content Productions, will continue to serve as showrunner on Pachinko as well as develop new projects through her Moonslinger Productions banner.

 

News of Hugh’s overall deal arrives as season two of the AFI Award-winning drama Pachinko is expected to debut on Apple later this year. The show landed at Apple in late 2018 with a sizable script-to-series commitment following a massive bidding war. 

... 

Hugh has repeatedly stressed that she has a four-season (with eight episodes in each) plan to tell the multigenerational story. Hugh told TV’s Top 5 ahead of the show’s debut that each cycle would include “a departure every season that examines one crucial historical point in that story each season” and that each batch of eight episodes will reflect a season of the year, with the sophomore run expected to take place in the spring.
