@CarolynH   What's positive is the second half of Pachinko Season 2 Episode 6 is more of a buildup for the upcoming episodes. Anticipation runs high for the upcoming last two episodes. Although, Noa and Mozasu are very young, they brilliantly display the complex emotions of their characters and I'm pleasantly surprised while watching EP6. The costumes, sets, props and everything about the drama look high production. And looking at them, brings me to a different world. While what's negative for me is Episode 6 can get a little confusing at times as new characters are introduced and their identities and purpose in the story are not fully revealed. The episode explores Sun Ja and Noa's dynamic. The latest episode doesn't have much thrill and is more subtle. But it does not get boring. As what I've said, the episode builds anticipation for what's to come.

*** On September 27, Park Bom from the girl group 2NE1 revealed her admiration for Lee Min Ho. She posted a photo on her social media with the caption, “My true husband.” The picture featured a collage of herself and Lee Min-ho. I remember Park Bom has previously expressed her admiration for Lee Min-ho. In an  interview, she mentioned, “My ideal type among celebrities is someone tall like Lee Min-ho or Kim Woo-bin.”

Can't wait to watch ep 6.

I didn't watch ep 6 today   Tomorrow, when I'm paying attention.  I don't want to miss one minute!

*** KingChoice.me is a popular Korean-centered polling website that gathers votes from thousands of fans on various topics, and they created one for people to vote for which male Korean actor they think is the most handsome. After millions of votes, the results are in!

 

 

6. Lee Min Ho

 

[CarolynH]

I think the answer is that it's a grey area as far as Hansu is concerned.  He's gone through a lot and he wasn't, and isn't, always bad. 

**********

I didn't finish ep 6.  My TV is so annoying.  I can't log into Apple TV even though I have before, so I have to use airplay.  I left for a moment, stopping the episode, when I returned I was no longer able to use airplay.

*** While the drama list only includes series airing on broadcast television, the actor list also includes cast members from OTT shows— Lee Min Ho came in at No. 7.

@CarolynH   Ohhh.... I feel bad for you. Well, the drama gears up for the release of Episode 7, which is set to drop on October 4th. I feel the electric chemistry between Kim Min Ha and Lee Min Ho in S2 especially every time they lock eyes. Sun Ja loves Isaac, but I think she also loves Han Su. Lee Min Ho's transformation in this drama is flawless.

[Giorgio Jack]

Lee Min Ho has such a strong following, and it's exciting to see him back in Pachinko Season 2! I can't wait to see how his character develops. The upcoming drama Ask the Stars and the movie Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint sound intriguing too.

“Pachinko 2”: Lee Min-ho & Kim Min-ha Captivate with Impressive Performances

 

 

The 2nd season of “Pachinko” is drawing attention, with Lee Min-ho & Kim Min-ha delivering compelling acting performances.

 

 

“Pachinko”, a sweeping saga that begins with a forbidden love, chronicles an unforgettable tale of war and peace, love and loss, triumph and reckoning across Korea, Japan, and the United States. As the second season approaches its penultimate episode, Lee Min-ho and Kim Min-ha continue to captivate global audiences with their portrayals that resonate across borders and generations.

 

 

In the first season, Kim Min-ha charmed viewers with her portrayal of young Sun-ja’s innocence and boldness, while Lee Min-ho brought depth to Han-su, a character torn between love and ambition. Now, seven years after the events of season 1, they reunite as a resilient mother providing for her family and a cold-blooded arms dealer, respectively. Their on-screen chemistry continues to mesmerize viewers worldwide.

 

What’s particularly striking is how Kim Min-ha and Lee Min-ho fully embody the changes their characters have undergone. From their youthful appearances to their more mature personas navigating a tumultuous era, their performances leave a lasting impression, vividly capturing the passage of time.

 

Based on the New York Times bestseller, “Pachinko” season 2 delicately weaves the story of a Korean immigrant family’s hopes and dreams. The eight-episode season is released weekly on Apple TV+, with new episodes dropping every Friday until October 11th. The seventh episode is set to premiere on October 4th.

I still have not seen this cany in any store.  I've seen the gum.  I find it interesting that he likes lemon flavor, but also carries choco pie in his bag.

@CarolynH   same here - After I watched a video of him some time ago with this inside his bag, I've been looking for it but, can't find it here in my side. (both the candy & gum) I also like lemon flavor in anything I eat. There was a time when I always buy Choco pie but, not anymore because I need to avoid sweets now. Thanks for sharing this.

Ask the Stars is confirmed to air in January! Yay!

Still curious about why LMH is in Thailand.  I read Guard Jin didn't accompany LMH.  I wonder why. 

 

@CarolynH   There's a rumor  that Lee Min Ho is secretly dating the daughter of a tycoon! She's Joanna Chun – the daughter of the chairman of Paradise Group. This was spread on social media. This tycoon’s daughter and Lee Min Ho have many friends in common. According to reports that this year, Lee Min Ho often went to Japan, staying at Edisonhotels even though he had no work schedule. Joanna Chun also often went to Japan and stayed at this hotel, even going every month. Not only that, the spreading rumors also pointed out that a Taiwanese female MC saw Lee Min Ho and Joanna Chun together at a restaurant in Thailand having an intimate dinner together. Well, rumor/report or whatnot, it's still publicity, he's a public figure anyway - There's nothing wrong when he dates, he's single.

@willenette I saw the Eclipse candy on Amazon.  But, you have to buy multiple bags.  I just want one to try.  I read a couple of comments.  People liked it, but think it's pricey.
