5/13/2023 0 Comments Min jin![]() ![]() As a fan of Lee Min-ho, I was curious about the character he will be portraying, Koh Hansu. I have hope for Pachinko because the plan is for four seasons with eight episodes each-longer than a movie but half the episodes of an average Korean drama season. Even though I’m usually disappointed, I will always advocate for reading the book first-and I’m always curious enough to watch the screen version. Very rarely does the screen version live up to the written word but I’m one who still wants to know the details from the book that get left out of screen productions. Reading a book before seeing a televised or film version can be risky. **SPOILER ALERT: If you have not read Pachinko I recommend you wait to read this post if you don’t want to know what happens. I discovered YJ on Youn’s Kitchen 2 and Youn’s Stay and find her to be lovable and endearing. Youn Yuh-Jung, who was just nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in Minari, is also in the cast. K-drama fans will be interested to know Lee Min-ho and Jung Eun-Chae from The King: Eternal Monarch have both been cast as central figures in this story. I am slowly learning more about the country of my birth.įilming is currently underway for the AppleTV+ production. As a Korean adoptee, I know very little history about Korea so I appreciate all the historical references the story is wrapped in. I pulled myself away from K-dramas long enough to read Pachinko, a novel by Korean American author Min Jin Lee. ![]()
