This post contains spoilers for this week’s episode of Pachinko, which is now streaming on Apple TV+.
Among the many highlights of the incredible first season of the Apple historical epic Pachinko was its penultimate chapter. Until that point, the series had largely bounced back and forth between Korea in the Twenties and Thirties and Japan in the Eighties, presenting multiple generations of the same Korean family, caught up in their nation’s long and messy history with its neighbor from across the sea.

‘Pachinko’ Review: Season 2 Is a Stunning Family Drama That Honors the Joys and Sorrows of Sacrifice
“Pachinko” has always asked a lot of its audience, but Season 2 asks even more. Right from the start, there’s a leap so massive, many shows would’ve never considered requesting it to begin with: I’m writing, of course, of the new opening title sequence. In general, such a switch isn’t unheard of. “The Leftovers” did it — twice (kind of) — and those went over swimmingly. But Damon Lindelof decided to try out a new intro because the first was far from revered (and its arduous droning would’ve set the wrong tone for a playfully bizarre sophomore season). “Pachinko’s” original credits, meanwhile, are beloved! They’re awesome! They’re so gosh darn delightful they overcame the TV Academy’s indefensible neglect in every other category and earned “Pachinko” its only Emmy nomination (for Original Main Title Design)!

The television adaptation of Pachinko by Min Jin Lee returns with a second season of the family saga on August 23 on Apple TV+.
Unlike Lee’s book, the show mixes the timelines of Book 1 and Book 3 with Minha Kim portraying a young Sunja and Youn Yuh-jung playing the older version. Season 2 picks up with older versions of Sunja’s two sons Noa and Mozasu and the start of World War II.
Those in need of a refresher on what happened in Season 1 of Pachinko can read on for a recap.
A Family Will Endure
The show opens with Sunja’s mother (Inji Jeong), who visits a Korean shaman woman to reverse a curse she believes has fallen on her and her husband Hoonie (Lee Dae-ho). Her husband has a cleft-lip deformity, which was seen as negative in society in Korea. This story takes place five years after Japan annexed Korea...

It's been a long time since the first season of Pachinko premiered on Apple TV+ on March 25, 2022. Nearly two and half years later, Pachinko is coming back for season 2 on Apple TV+ this summer, and fans can't wait to watch the next eight episodes of the hit series.
Luckily, the wait is almost over for Pachinko fans!
Pachinko is based on the book of the same name by Min Jin Lee. Soo Hugh created a TV series that tells the story of a Korean family. The story begins in Korea in the early 1900s and spans decades, including the family's immigration to Japan.
The series has an incredible cast, including Soji Arai, Jin Ha, Jun-woo Han, Sungkyu Kim, Min-ha Kim, Lee Min-ho, and more.

When Sunja (Yuh-jung Youn) confronts a new friend (Jun Kunimura) about dark secrets she’s dug up from his past, he reacts with the resignation of someone who’s long since come to terms with them. He does not act out in shock or denial. He offers explanations that are not quite excuses. He accepts that she’s right that his history cannot be changed. But, he asks, “What are we supposed to do then? Spend the rest of our lives chained to it?”
Sunja does not provide an answer, and neither does her series. Down to its very format, which cuts between two timelines, Apple TV+’s Pachinko presents itself as a reflection on the impossibility of finding one. Seeds planted years or decades or generations earlier have a way of shooting up at unexpected times, in unexpected ways. And as she did in the series’ breathtaking first chapter,...

Spoiler Alert: This post contains details about the season one finale of Pachinko, titled “Chapter Eight.”
The Pachinko season ender offers optimism and growth from heartbreaking losses for nearly all generations of the Baek family.
The episode begins in 1938, years after Noa’s birth. Now seven years old, Noa prepares for baby brother Mozasu’s doljabi ceremony. Just before audiences can see what fate-determining item Mozasu picks, a remixed, pop version of the opening sequence livens things up.
From Mozasu’s dol to Hana’s (Mari Yamamoto) final moments, the finale spans the cycle of life. In the present, Hana’s surrounded by her loved ones, including Sunja (Yuh-jung Youn) and Etsuko (Kaho Minami), who have no choice but to accept her eventual death. Tragedy also strikes in the past, with Noa and Sunja (Minha Kim) learning that Isak (Steve Sang-Hyun Noh) has been arrested for suspected treason against the emperor.

Korean superstar Lee Minho sent camera flashbulbs into a frenzy on Wednesday night at the premiere of his new Apple TV Plus series “Pachinko” at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles.
