OMG the 1st episode, the biological mom pissed me off, she wasted everyone’s time while they risked their life and her baby life to help her. That plot annoyed me too much for me to continue Lol. To some it may be petty reason to drop it but I’m assuming the rest of the drama will have non sensical scenes
honestly the vibe of this drama is like any other Korean "Melo"drama, emphasis on "Melo" for anyone hoping for cookie cutter sweet Korean drama and the acting is just as good as any other. I personally love melodramas so I have seen a lot of them. So far so good for me with the 1st few episodes.
I already know people will give this a low rating because of the male lead which sucks when the drama alone is good so far Idk the full extent of Male Lead’s alleged crimes nor am I going to look it up nor do I want anyone’s dissertation to what they “think” is the truth unless they are the victim, South Korean police OR lawyers of said case. I've seen Korea remove actors from other TV shows, right in the middle of the show, so... if that happens then so be it.
I saw Pachinko book at Barnes and Noble bookstore and read the 1st chapter in their coffee shop section. I've seen all Season 1 first btw. Well.....I ended up purchasing it, the series is AMAZING but the book is much better, everything came to life through words in the best way possible.
80 minutes is too long for a 36 epsiodes drama it should be 35 minutes.
this is actually SHORT, for a weekend drama (Saturday/Sunday) for ex: "The Young Lady and Gentleman" "The Real Has Come!" "I Have a Lover" are 50 episodes weekend dramas OVER 60 minutes
My own opinion but This show went through a Production company, Producers, Writers, Directors, etc. the Actors/actresses consented or they could have declined to take on such a risque role. They also risked the backlash of viewers but yet the scenes were kept, it was released and they have rated it 18+ ......which means..... "Scenes of murder, gore, and excessive violence are realistically or specifically depicted. Exposure of a part of the body, direct or implied sexual contact, or specific or explicit depiction of provocative expressions such as sexual acts" There are a ton of Korean dramas produced every year of the same genre that don't have such scenes that the objectors can watch. It's as simple as not watching this 1 drama out of the many other historical ones to choose from. Or waiting till your fav actor in this drama is casted in less explicit role.
Also just because Hollywood entertainment chooses to depict Americans in raunchy/no morals light does not mean that is how the General Public of Americans are. I started watching K-Dramas because of less explicit content but I do not live in delulu land and believe South Koreans are as pure/innocent as their entertainment depicts them as in K-Dramas.
as someone who likes watching True Crime shows and listening to True Crime podcasts here in united States I hope they someday bring English Subtitles to a streaming platform
