“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.
