'Pachinko' Season 2 Boasts Intense Colors.
On the 20th, Apple TV+ revealed a poster for 'Pachinko' Season 2. It captures moments of leading characters such as Kim Min-ha, Youn Yuh-jung, and Lee Min-ho. It hints at a grand scale narrative.
The poster draws attention with its contrast of golden and blue hues. Particularly, characters spanning from the 1940s to the 1980s are arranged at the hem of Sunja’s (played by Kim Min-ha) skirt.
Season 2 chronicles the saga of a Korean immigrant family over four generations. Despite being three days away from its release, it is already garnering praise from foreign media. It raises expectations for the profound impact, continuing from Season 1.
Collider reported, "It is an indispensable series when discussing modern great dramas." South China Morning Post described it as "a grand epic beautifully depicting hardship and loss."
The performances of Kim Min-ha and Youn Yuh-jung are also highly anticipated. Paste Magazine focused on the portrayals of Sunja by both actresses, stating, "Their delicate portrayal of Sunja's resilience and genuine emotions leaves a lasting impact."
Kim Min-ha and Youn Yuh-jung passionately play the role of Sunja. They respectively depict Sunja's past and present, a character who does not crumble in the face of trials given by time and love. She is a figure who builds a life in foreign lands after leaving her homeland.
'Pachinko' tells the story of a Korean immigrant family. It is set in Korea, Japan, and the United States from the early 1900s to the 1980s. The series chronicles themes of war and peace, love and separation, victory and judgment.
The first season received immediate attention from foreign media upon release. The script, acting, and direction were all highly praised. It even won the Best Foreign Language Series at the 28th Critics' Choice Awards.
