Pachinko is an adaptation of the bestselling book of the same name by Min Jin Lee (Korean-American writer). The eight-episode series premiered in March on Apple TV+ and received positive reviews from various specialist media outlets. Praise fell on the performances of Oscar winner Yoon Yoo-jung, Minha Kim, Jin Ha, and Lee Min-ho.

 

Among those who have been following Korean dramas for a while, there was an expectation that the well-known heartthrob from Flowers Over Flowers, The Heirs, and The Eternal Monarch King would be able to show a more complex character. The critics who praised Lee Min Ho's work especially praised the 7th episode of "Pachinko" as it focused on Hansoo's story..

Hi

[Looking back at a masterpiece from 10 years ago] Lee Min Ho delivered a bold performance in 'Faith'!

 

Lately, Lee Min Ho has shown off hard acting with hard work, but it was 2012's "Faith" that set him apart as a complete actor. ..

 

[Photo] 'Faith-Nobuyoshi' historical drama in which Lee Min Ho and Kim Hee Sun's co-starring became a hot topic [Masterpiece Theatre]

 

At that time there were many dramas that slipped in time between the present and the past, but among them "Faith" had an exceptionally large scope.

 

The story began in 1351 during the Goryeo era. Lee Min Ho played the samurai Choi Yong, who values faith. He firmly accompanied the young king, but was attacked by a thug. Choi Yoon defended himself fiercely, but the queen was seriously injured in the commotion.

 

"Your life is dangerous!"

 

In such a tense situation, only a special "faith" could save the queen's life. In desperation, Choi Young went to the mysterious heavens in search of a "divine doctor" and eventually found a "divine doctor" in Seoul in 2012. It was Yoo Eun Soo, an orthopedic surgeon, dressed as Kim Hee Sung.

 

Belief-burning Choi Young takes Yoo Eun-soo back 660 years to save the queen's life. Thus, the ferocious fate of men and women, transcending time and space, begins to move rapidly....

 

 

Photo = From the official website of "Faith"

 

A masterpiece that went down in history

 

Throughout this drama, Lee Min Ho's determined samurai figure has been impressive. His dignified expression shone with the complexity of the scene.

It was so cool that I really fell in love with it.

 

In real life, Lee Min Ho was 10 years younger than Kim Hee Sun. Lee Min Ho would be disappointed because the Korean entertainment world has a strict hierarchical relationship, but he was proudly dressed as a loyal samurai and played out a great love story that transcends time and space.

 

However, Korean historical dramas are overwhelmingly dynastic court dramas, and there are surprisingly few dramas in which strong samurai play an active role. Among them, Choi Young's samurai appearance, which Lee Min Ho showed off in 'Faith', was a truly reliable and memorable character. In the sense that such a hero was beautiful, Faith is a masterpiece that has remained in the history of historical drama.

‘The Legend of The Blue Sea’ Cast: Where Are They Now?

 

‘The Legend of The Blue Sea’ is one of the classic k-dramas, which has a famous cast and a dreamy storyline. It also is wrapped up in just enough time. ‘The Legend of The Blue Sea’ portrays a love story between a mermaid and a human being. The k-drama is originally based on the Joseon legend from Korea’s first collection of unofficial historical tales, “Eou Yadam”. The story follows Shim Chung, a mermaid who has been looking for her one true love Kim Ryung from the Joseon Dynasty.

 

It’s been centuries, and she still hasn’t been able to find him. That is, one day, she comes across Heo Joon Jae. Joon Jae is one of the best conmen working in Seoul. As the two crosses path, things get really crazy as neither of them has no clue about whatever is happening. Noticing a jade bracelet worth $6 million with Shim Chung, Joon Jae lets her stay with him in the hopes he’ll steal it. But things get out of hand when there’s a killer named Ma Dae Young behind Joon Jae. As Shim Chung sees the history repeating itself and Joon Jae starts falling in love with the mermaid, things are bound to get crazy.

'Pachinko' actress knows her character's troubles because her grandmother lived them

Spoiler

No, she doesn't mind moving to another room. The shots they got with her sitting on the bathroom counter were probably gold, but the photographer has other ideas for this swanky suite at L'Ermitage Beverly Hills. The shooter directs the actress to sprawl on the bed, click click click. The subject does so with ease, her face never betraying discomfort, her body never tense. In the front room, she contorts slightly so the lens might catch her reflection in a table mirror, cool confidence never waning. Click click click.

 

Minha Kim, the 26-year-old Korean actress with a few previous TV credits in her homeland, plays Sunja in the buzzy Apple TV+ series "Pachinko." In a cast that includes Oscar winner Yuh-Jung Youn and Korean heartthrob Lee Minho, she's the lead, and she is ready for her close-up.

"When I was a little girl, I was very timid, inconspicuous," she says later, accepting extra pillows to make herself comfortable on the couch. "I was shy, really, really shy. Whenever I had to speak in front of a lot of people, I’d sweat a lot. I was shivering like this. So nervous.

 

"All that time I wanted to be a voice-over actor. It's good for me to hide and then do the performance. I guess I wanted to be a character rather than, you know, an actress. I always wanna be the princess, I wanna be the Nemo."

 

But, she says, she found that her timidity went away when she performed.

"Most of the time when I'm singing I feel different; I feel like I’m dreaming and I'm in the middle of dreams."

The Seoul native has overcome her shyness just in time for her first bouts of being recognized on the street (in New York City the day before this interview, for instance), thanks to "Pachinko's" popularity.

 

"I'm not a person who goes out a lot, but I get a lot of messages from people on Instagram," she says, almost with embarrassment, while confiding that many of those interactions involve fans asking about her handsome leading man, Lee.

 

Kim’s mother was so keen on her learning English that, apart from having her attend an English kindergarten in Seoul, she sent her first to Germany, then to America (Palm Springs) to study the language. Kim then tilted her accent away from the European by consuming American TV shows such as "Grey's Anatomy," eventually graduating from Hanyang University with a degree in theater. She's a quick reader, too, though the 10 hours in which she devoured Min Jin Lee's bestselling novel was fast even for her.

 

"While I was reading 'Pachinko,' I felt like somebody was telling me the story," she says. "Every chapter was so shocking. 'Oh, my God. I wanna see what's next, next, next.' I felt like it was this new story from my grandmother."

 

Kim's grandmother lived through the period in which the actress plays Sunja, during the Japanese occupation of Korea (about 1910-45).

 

"While I was reading 'Pachinko,' I felt like somebody was telling me the story," Kim says. 

"She told me about her childhood every time I went to her house, which was really fun. I asked her, ‘Grandma, [Sunja] got married at 16. Is that too early?’ She said, ‘No. I got married at 20, and everybody was telling me that was so late.’

 

"I told her, 'In this story I have a boyfriend/lover, and he kind of betrayed me and I have to marry another man.' She said, 'I'm so jealous, because nobody would do that — no boyfriend; it's just husband right away!' " Kim laughs fondly.

 

The laughter fades, though, as she recalls her grandmother's tales of deprivation.

"I heard from my grandmother that she had to be barefoot on the way to the school because the Japanese got all the shoes from her, even in the middle of winter. But she told me, ‘There's no seasons.’ Because winter, spring, summer, autumn, they wear the same clothes; no shoes, no food."

 

One of the key sequences in Season 1 involves the difficulty Sunja's mother has in simply finding some rice for Sunja and her groom to eat on their wedding day (the Japanese had prohibited the staple from being sold to Koreans).

 

When Kim's grandmother saw that, "she cried so hard," said the actress. "She said at the end of my phone call, ‘Even though it's the performance, even though you are not Sunja, tell Sunja — tell Minha — that I love you guys the most and there's love around you always. So remember that I love you the most.' "

 

Kim found it easy to love Sunja too, citing her honesty and the toughness she finds within herself after initially being overwhelmed by problems. So what didn't she love about the character?

"It’s not about her, but it's more about the culture and how the women were living in that era," she says. "Whenever she's in front of Hansu [Lee's character], she's just lost. Hansu is kind of like her Wikipedia; he makes her open her eyes, see the world for the first time.

 

"I feel bad about that. I mean, he’s the love of her life, but still, I just want her to forget him. ‘No, he's a RickRoll'D, no!'" She laughs. "He’s McDreamy, how can she forget him? Even though she hates him, I think it's another [kind] of love. So, so powerful that she gets an energy from him whether she hates or loves him. He keeps appearing in the middle of her life; it's so annoying because she cares about him so hard."

 

Was there a moment that brought their relationship into focus for her?

 

"When Isak [played by Steve Sang-Hyun Noh] proposes to me and he asks, 'Can you forget Hansu?' — when I was reading the script, I thought that line was just, you know, not that important. But when he asked me that on set, I couldn't answer. I couldn't spit out my lines. Tears just came out and I felt that, 'This is how much she loves [Hansu].' It was really weird and I couldn't speak out loud that line: 'I would love to.' [Instead] it made me collapse in front of Isak in the restaurant, so I had to bear the tears. And that's when I found out that her love towards Hansu is so deep."
