"Sunja had the opportunity to observe him up close without distractions.  She could even smell the mentholated pomade in his neatly combed black hair."

 

"More black than brown, his dark eyes absorbed light like a long tunnel, and when he looked at her, she felt and uncomfortable sensation in her stomach."

 

Of course, Minho's EYES!!!

 

This is beautiful but PD isn't American? I am not sure a American PD can reflect to love scene well If it is common Kdrama this scene can be so beautiful

The PD is korean American. I wonder how he will bring this to life because he is known for “the terror” which is an amc drama. It’s quite popular

Security would surely be tight. When TKEM started filming, we only got one blurry photo of LMH. And with the pledge of confidentiality for the auditions of Pachinko, we'll definitely be lucky if we could get even a short glimpse/blurry photo of LMH and the cast. But anyway, aren't we glad his participation in this drama is finally confirmed?

And here's some information about Anna Sawai who will play Naomi.

 

Anna Sawai (澤井杏奈, Sawai Anna, born June 11, 1992) is a Japanese–New Zealand actress, dancer and singer. She began her film career in 2009 in a supporting role in the martial arts film Ninja Assassin, and debuted as a professional singer in 2013 as one of the lead vocalists in the J-pop girl group FAKY, singing in both Japanese and English. She will co-star in Justin Lin's upcoming Fast & Furious sequel, F9.

 

In 2004, shortly after moving to Japan, Sawai was chosen out of 10,000 applicants to play the title role in the stage musical Annie.

Sawai made her professional film debut in the 2009 Warner Bros. film Ninja Assassin,[3] directed by James McTigue, playing the rebellious teenage female ninja Kiriko who is executed for attempting to escape the Ozunu ninja clan.

In 2013, Sawai's work as a professional singer began with the dance/R&B group FAKY. She performed as one of the group's lead vocalists until her final show with the group on December 20, 2018. Her departure from the group was announced via FAKY's social media, citing her dream of pursuing her acting career.

In 2019, Sawai co-starred in the BBC crime drama Giri/Haji and joined the cast of the upcoming 2021 action film F9, directed by Justin Lin.

In November 2019, it was announced that Sawai was signed by major U.S. talent agency WME.[10] In October 2020, Sawai was announced as a savvy career woman Naomi in Apple's upcoming series Pachinko, based on the novel by Min Jin Lee.
