Based on the namesake novel written by Korean-American author Lee Min-jin, the drama depicts the turbulent history of a Korean immigrant family moving to Japan from the 1910s to the 1980s.

The drama mainly tells the history of four generations of a Korean family from the perspective of the lead role Sun-ja across various time periods.

The first to third episodes released on Friday focused on the story of young Sun-ja and her parents living in a harsh world of Japanese colonial period in Yeongdo District in Busan, as well as the female lead who fell in true love.

 

“Pachinko” portrays 800 pages of the original novel in short, but leaves a strong impression.

The props, costumes, and filming site that embodied the setting of 1910s, 1930s, and 1980s also improve the completeness of the work.
