If this is American drama I am not sure music, I like Korean OST but I don't remember any American drama music

American shows don’t usually have a list of OST like K-dramas...  

 

This project will be so different... I guess no kiss scenes either...

We can throw @madmad min on the production team as music director and not to forget @Elnin Joery is the camera personale while drunk on soju and at last but not least @Heretorant is the villian and @leeminhosnyis the writer.

 

The rating will be 0,1%

I don’t what the story is exactly... is there Romance for LMH’s role? The target audience is not SK people so the writer doesn’t need to focus on romance 

 

 

and yes please NOOO +18 scenes.. Noooo

Hahah it would actully be quite memorable if you end up killing everyone and the camera is unfocussed the entire time since the personale is suppose to be drunk. It Will go down in folklore.... Stuff of legend 

[Nikaa]

Has LMH read the 8 scripts? He should make sure his character is well-written and he has enough screen time... there is only 8 episodes... soooo short

This writer wrote it? Pachinko’s writer? 

[leeminhosny]

Actually I hate unhappy end but I want tragic a story for this drama because I want everyone can't forget LMH  And just 8 eps we won't die, just wait happy end for next Kdrama

Will LMH pick a Netflix drama after this?? 
 

now that we know LMH wants to do different projects, he may not pick K-dramas for a while. He will probably choose a K-movie or 100% Netflix show.

Oh. Just read that mosuzu is the troubled and bullied kid. Hansu and Noa are Yakuza correct me if i am wrong? 

Hansu is tied to Yakuza but not Noa. It’s ultimately what Noa hated about himself, that he was the son of Hansu and had Yakuza blood in him. 
 

I can see how lmh fits into each character but I think Noa will take the show. He has more depths and struggles and his ending is sad but impactful.

Probably he will pick anything for Korea  , and If LMH picked this drama so he will like it so much , that is mean Netflix couldn't bring more interesting drama , IF Netflix want to LMH they work harder next time

OH MY WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I was on my zoom call meeting and it killed me that i can't chime in right away. I read the description on Wikipedia. Sister, this might be what we've been waiting for.

yeah, so long for only 8 episodes. But the quality will be high as the sky 

 

LMH will probably take another break after drama finishes filming 

 

but I’m so glad he is doing something soooo different and novel!!! 

Nike, Apple TV series has been collecting awards on Emmy and Golden Globes, this looks like a good project for his career, i know we want 24 episode of LMH romancing his FL, but......career wise, this is sound promising. And you are right, Quality will be good.

I prepared to order one "Pachinko" to read it in advance.
 

Now I'm worrying where to watch this drama..........I'm using android phone and pad. 

Im tempted to read it too. Helps me get the feel before watching. Now, looks like we might have to get Apple TV+ my husband will complaint because he wanted Apple TV before but i told him we should get Roku cause it's cheap and i can get VIKI where i can watch more asian Drama and then i had to sign up to VIKI to watch Faith. Now I'm going to tell him to get Apple TV because LMH's drama will be in it, hehehe.

In my honest opinion, I don’t see why they would change the story from female centric to male centric, especially in this day and age. Instead, they might broaden the focus and give balance to all characters. Of course, I’m all for lmh so I would love it if he’s the main main character but I can see why some might be angry if they completely change the story to focus on a male. Lmh aside, I enjoy shows with strong female leads more. Of course, I’m greedy so I want a bigger role for him but I’ll be willing to accept it if he has to share the screen with other actors. I’m just thrilled at the possibility of him taking part of Panchinko. I could not have asked for a better story! 

100% agree. In today's climate, changing the FL lead POV or changing the FL from the center of the story to Male actor, would not be good. I don't wish that for LMH's project. I already read so many criticism over Kim Tan's Character to this day, because of that forceful kiss. I think it would be amazing to have LMH as one of the leads in a Female Centric story. I shared this many pages ago, but i'm absolutely ok with LMh sharing screen/co lead with other amazing actors, as long as it challenge his character and flesh it out and overall a good well done story.

 

Hubby and i are currently watching Season 4 of Fargo (american Drama) and it has several leads, but they have done amazing with screen and development distribution, and each character are strong on their owns. Also, they never start the new episode with the end of previous episode and i can't help but think of TKEM the whole time. I can see that the PD and editor is trying to do, but you need to do skillfully to nail it and not confuse your audience.

I read the book. It’s long and full of the family’s travails in Japan. I wasn’t aware until I read it how harsh the discrimination is there against Koreans. Even later generations were/are (?) discriminated against. One of the sons becomes very wealthy as the owner of a string of Pachinko parlors. Another son “passes” for Japanese and commits a shocking act when it looks like he’ll be exposed as Korean. It’s a very tough story. Bravo to LMH for taking it on!

Agree. bravo LMH for taking on such a meaty project. I am excited for him.
