Magnificent Multilayered Storytelling
Pachinko I and 2 shines with rich, multilayered storytelling, superb cinematography, and powerful performances. It’s an emotional rollercoaster that captures personal and historical struggles with such depth. Great performances by each main and supporting actors characters. I am a (K-drama) fan of Lee Min Ho and I believe this is his best work. I’m thrilled to see him cross into US TV and hope to more of him in the future. The series is heartbreaking but blends generations with grace, honoring its roots while delivering a visually rich experience.
