‘Pachinko’ TV adaptation: release date, plot details, cast and everything we know so far

Min Jin Lee’s critically acclaimed novel comes to life with a star-studded cast

 

By
Daniel Peters
6th September 2021

 

 

Lee Min-ho, Youn Yuh-jung, Jung Eun-chae cast in Min Jin Lee's Pachinko tv series

 

Pachinko, the beloved epic historical novel by Min Jin Lee, is getting a television adaptation. Thanks to Apple TV+, we can soon expect a show of similarly lofty ambitions. A stacked list of actors and directors, including Korean icon Lee Min-ho, has already been confirmed.

Lee’s novel follows the trials and tribulations of Korean immigrants in turn-of-the-century Japan, which unfolds over four generations. The 2017 book was praised for its depiction of institutional racism, prejudice and gripping intimacy under a distinct Asian lens.

The list of talent involved ensures this upcoming series will be one to watch. Here’s what we know so far.

 

What is the plot of Pachinko?

Pachinko details the journey of a Korean family who move to Japan in a period of the country’s occupation of a then-unified Korea and their involvement in World War II. The story begins in 1883, but the bulk of the novel’s story takes place between 1910 to 1989.

 

The main appeal of Pachinko is Lee’s effortless weaving of individual characters within this timeline. Its main protagonist is Sunja, whose journey to Japan in the midst of poverty reveals a deep-rooted undercurrent of intolerance towards Koreans in the country. Her story entwines with the life of Hansu, a mysterious Korean merchant born into a rich Japanese family, along with a host of characters that are both Korean and Japanese.
 

What ensues is a multi-generational tale that The Guardian pronounced a “rich tribute to a people that history seems intent on erasing”.

How long is Pachinko?

While the novel stands at a hefty 490 pages, per Deadline the show is currently booked as a limited eight-episode special. It’s not yet confirmed if showrunner Soo Hugh (The Terror) will diligently follow the events of the book or add any new plot elements.

 

 

Who will act in Pachinko?

 

With the show involving dialogue in English, Japanese and Korean, and with set locations across several continents, according to Deadline, the talent on board spans from established Asian stars to Hollywood upstarts.

The main cast of the show was revealed last October, led by beloved South Korean actor Lee Min-ho. The star of The King: Eternal Monarch will play Hansu.

For the role, Lee auditioned for the showrunners – which, the actor told GQ Korea, as reported by Soompi, he hadn’t had to do in a decade due to his surging popularity since 2009’s Boys Over Flowers. “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,” he said. Lee’s The King co-star Jung Eun-chae joins him on this project, playing the supporting role of Kyunghee.

The novel centres on the main protagonist Sunja, who will be played by Minari star Youn Yuh-jung, her agency Hook Entertainment confirmed. In a February interview with Los Angeles Times, the veteran actress said that she enjoys taking on new projects and challenging herself. “I read the novel and I was really touched: ‘It’s me, and I can play this role really well.'”

Meanwhile, teenage Sunja will be played by Kim Min-ha. Known for his roles in Netflix’s Devs and the Chicago production of Hamilton, the Korean-American actor will play Solomon, an ambitious young man tied up by his family’s past.

Japanese actors Soji Arai and Kaho Minami will portray Mozasu and Etsuko, respectively. The former is a successful businessman and father of Solomon, while the latter is an independent woman in search of her estranged daughter. Japanese-New Zealand actress Anna Sawai, who has an upcoming role in the ninth Fast & Furious film, will play Naomi, a tenacious careerist making her way in the male-dominated world of finance.

Actor Jung Woong-in is also expected to join the cast, JoongAng Daily reported in January.

Directors Kogonada and Justin Chon are set to direct four episodes each, with Kogonada – praised for his artful film essays and 2017 debut Columbus – locked in for the show’s pilot episode. Both directors will also serve as executive producers alongside Min Jin Lee herself.

 

Has Pachinko started filming?

Yes, Panchiko has already begun filming. At the end of March, several fans spotted actress Kim Min-ha in costume on set. She appeared to be filming at the same location where Lee Min-ho was seen earlier.
 

On March 17, fans shared photos and videos of Lee Min-ho on set. The actor was spotted shooting a scene at the Britannia Shipyards National Historic Site in Canada. Check them out here:

 

Speaking to LA Times in February, Youn Yuh-jung confirmed that she had arrived in Vancouver, Canada to begin filming for Pachinko.

What has the cast said about the television adaptation of Pachinko?
In a September 2021 interview with Esquire Korea, Lee Min-ho said that he wanted to portray his character Hansu truthfully by properly reflecting “the male image from that era”.

 

“I wanted to be true to the character,” he said. “So I tried to focus on how desperate they were to survive in that period [of time].”

The actor added: “I wanted to express the man who has desperately survived and met the woman he loved. And I really wanted to portray well how one can love one another.”

The novel that fascinated Obama...The power of storytelling that "Pachinko" writer talks about.
 

Pinball is a game that shoots iron beads (ball bearings). The score you earn depends on which intensity and direction you shoot it in. Pachinko, Japan's most popular gambling, is a game similar to pinball. The purpose of shooting a small iron bead to win more iron beads, and the amount of iron beads that can be obtained varies depending on the angle and how strong the iron bead is fired.

 

In this way, it seems like a game where a person who shoots a metal ball well with sophisticated control can earn a lot of rewards, but Pachinko is a gambling game played in a thoroughly calculated and controlled environment. The story of a person thrown into a scene in history is similar to Pachinko. Just as the probability of winning the game is limited no matter how elaborately the iron beads are fired, life is full of invisible reef-like restrictions no matter how hard an individual tries.

 

The novel Pachinko, selected by the New York Times, USA Today, and the BBC as the "2017 Book of the Year," depicts the lives of Koreans in Japan and their families born in Japanese colonial era Busan. Lee Min-jin, a Korean-American writer, was highly praised for drawing abundantly the stories of the times she had never lived in. Last year, it was decided to shoot an eight-part drama on Apple TV, starring actor Yoon Yeo-jung, and once again gained popularity. The author will speak at this year's World Knowledge Forum and talk about her novel with NPD Ulabi, a reporter for NPR, a public radio station in the United States. Reporter Ulabi is an expert who has been active in art and entertainment for a long time. He participates in the session of writer Lee and director Kemp Powers as the chairperson and serves as a cultural bridge connecting Korea and the United States.

110 billion won in film performances ... Actors are thrilled with the Netflix Disney competition on Amazon

 

As online video (OTT) companies compete to protect content, fees for popular actors are skyrocketing.

OTT companies around the world showing strong financial strengths such as Netflix, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime Video, HBO Max and Apple TV Plus are planning to distribute the cash. As Disney Plus enters the Korean market in November and domestic OTT companies accelerate their market share expansion, entry fees in Korea are expected to skyrocket as well...

 

Apple TV Plus, which features "Dr. Brain" starring Lee Sung Kyun and "Pachinko" starring Yoon Yeo Jung and Lee Min Ho, is also weighing a timeline for its release in Korea. Competition among Korean actors is expected to intensify as there is a case with Netflix, where Sweet Home, just 28 days after its release, enjoyed 22 million families around the world using Korea as a base for content production. Critic Kim said, "OTT companies targeting Southeast Asia, where there are not many subscribers yet, are turning their attention to Korea, where they can produce content at a reasonable cost."

"Diaspora Literature," which contains the pain of history. -  Lee Min-jin, Pachinko.

 

 

It's not about gambling. It's a line of painful history. Pachinko contains the lives of Koreans in Japan who lived in Japan. 

 

It is a novel written by Korean-American writer Lee Min-jin, and the lives of migrant Koreans are expressed in a realistic and desperate way. The appearance of "Zainichi" from the perspective of the same overseas Koreans seems to be realistic and seems to come alive.

 

There are compatriots who have left the country for a living and a better life. However, unlike the hopeful start, the results were disastrous. It was not easy to build a life anywhere else. The new world has caused another pain. Those who left the country were struggling desperately amid contempt and discrimination to survive again.

 

Zainichi's sorrow and pain are well expressed in Pachinko. Zainichi's life, which begins with a woman who started her life in Osaka, Japan, continues for generations. Their long journey was fierce. Through the history leading to Yangjin, Seonja, Hatsu, and Solomon, you can get a glimpse of their struggling lives.

 

They wanted to live their normal daily lives, but they keep being pushed out into the shade, not the sunny spot. In a life where they are discriminated against by their natural "root" rather than their own choice, they worry about their identity. 

 

In the novel, there are various human populations who lose their lives in disregard and prejudice, and who live in compliance with reality. However, all the main characters in the work fall into question about "what group they belong to" and "what their identity is." In fact, you can guess how fierce and many worries and struggles there must have been in the lives of Koreans in Japan.

 

Through the agony of those on the border, we face endless questions about 'identity'. What is a country, what is an individual's life, and the country-individual relationship are also contemplated. They always suffered in this ambiguous boundary, as they did not belong to their hometowns, other regions, and became inconsistent beings. The vortex of history created a stranger.

 

Still, they endured. It's a life like "Pachinko" where they can't control or know the consequences, but they've always been faithful. Even if they don't know who they are, the fierce life itself will give people a great resonance and deep lingering impression.

@leeminhosny, Don't worry Apple TV + will release "Dr. Brain" first. I read somewhere that the company decided to be the first to launch a drama with an actor in the lead role from the Oscar-winning "Parasites", and then only "Pachinko". This is the channel's policy and Lee Min Ho is innocent. We must come to terms with the current situation and patiently wait for the premiere of "Pachinko".

"Pachinko" Lee Minho partner rookie Kim Minha, girlish new profile revealed.

 

A new profile photo featuring Kim Min-ha's colorful charm has been released.

 

 

Kim Min-ha drew attention with the announcement of the casting of Apple TV+'s global project drama Pachinko after fierce competition. Kim Min-ha plays the role of a young "Seonja," the character leading the play, and worked with actors such as Lee Min-ho and Jung Eun-chae. A woman's experience as an immigrant after leaving Korea during the Japanese colonial era will be depicted with delicate acting.

‘Minari’ actress Youn Yuh-jung named one of TIME’s Most Influential People of 2021

 

 

Oscar-winning Minari actress Youn Yuh-jung has been named one of the Most Influential People of 2021 by TIME.

 

The veteran South Korean actress recently made history at the 93rd Academy Awards where she took home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, beating favourites like Glenn Close in Hillbilly Elegy and Amanda Seyfried in Mank. The nod made her the first Asian actress to win in the category.

 

Aside from her Oscar win, Youn had also received the SAG (Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role) and BAFTA Awards (Best Actress in a Supporting Role) for her appearance in Minari.

 

“It was a year where I simply did the work I always do, but I received far more praise than I deserved,” Youn told South Korean publication MT Star News about being included on TIME’s list, as translated by Soompi.

 

“I myself am still surprised by the news that I was chosen for TIME’s list of this year’s most influential people,” she added. “I hope that I was someone who had a positive influence on others, and I consider it an honor to have my name included on TIME’s list of the 100 Most Influential People of 2021 alongside people who are far greater than I am.”

 

Meanwhile, in a write-up for TIME, Youn’s Minari co-star Steven Yeun said that the actress “has forged a path that only she could have”, noting that her roles range from “navigating and breaking through societal expectations to playing fully realized (and deeply human) characters on the screen”.

We're All Human: Justin Chon on Blue Bayou

 

 

Chon not only leads this film, but fills its 16mm cinematography with his immense passion as a storyteller working as writer/director. Like with his Sundance breakout “Gook” and follow-up “Ms. Purple,” Chon’s love of distinct color and of an empathetic lens guides the viewer to see the world how Chon feels for it. “Blue Bayou” is Chon’s biggest film yet, and was screened Un Certain Regard at the recent Cannes Film Festival. He already has a TV series in the can (co-directing episodes of "Pachinko" with Kogonada), and just finished a new film in the state of Hawaii. 

 

I'm amazed by how much energy you put into these movies. Where does it come from on-set? 

You know, after “Blue Bayou” I did a television series for Apple TV+, based on the book Pachinko. And I was able to do half of the season. And I just wrapped up two days ago on a film. But I’ve got to say with this last film, I feel like I was starting to run out of a little bit of steam. I think I need a bit of a recharge.
