Pachinko has been one of the best shows backed by Apple TV in recent years. The drama has been highly praised for its writing and the performances of A list cast from the Japanese and Korean entertainment industry. The season 2 trailer has been unveiled with cinematography just as delightful and it has left fans in awe.
Based on the 2017 novel by Min Jin Lee, the show is set to return to Sunja (Kim Min-ha)'s story. Season one followed Sunja from childhood into adulthood, exploring the sacrifices she made to secure her and her family's future. Last we saw Sunja had to come to terms with her husband's arrest and the possibility of him never coming back.
While grieving she also decides to put her future in her own hands. She then gains some independence as a kimchi seller. Pachinko has so far been a faithful adaptation of the source material sans a few twists.
It is unclear how close the makers will remain to the book in season two. According to Deadline, the showrunner has revealed that the second season will explore more drama due to historical turmoil at the time. I'm soooooo intrigued by this scene! By his reaction he looks shocked.

According to an official synopsis for Season 2, “the parallel stories pick up in Osaka in 1945, where Sunja is forced to make dangerous decisions for her family’s survival during World War II, and in Tokyo in 1989, which finds Solomon exploring new, humble beginnings.” The trailer for is powerful, from the music to the characters' resilience.
