The trailer for Season 2 of Pachinko has arrived (above), and so has the end of World War II in the multigenerational saga that spans decades. “Your grandfather, he always wanted me to fly,” Sunja ( Minha Kim ) tells her son Noa Baek (Kang Tae ju) in the clip as a kite flies out in the fields where Sunja and her sister-in-law Kyunghee (Eunchae Jung) work. Sunja and Kyunghee look up to see bomber plans flying in droves toward their hometown of Osaka, Japan.
Rosé of BLACKPINK’s cover of Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida” starts up as Koh Hansu (Lee Minho) confronts Sunja after 14 years, telling her he never lost track of where she was.

In Season 1, viewers meet Sunja when she still lives in Korea, and she falls in love with Koh Hansu, who declined to be with her when she got pregnant with his child. A sickly preacher Isak (Steve Sang-Hyun) came along and offered to marry Sunja after she and her mother nursed her back to health.
With Isak, Sunja had her second son Mozasu Beak (Soji Arai). Mozasu’s son Solomon ( Jin Ha ) took a hit to his reputation over a failed deal he tried to make last season. According to the log line, “In 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.
