I wish they would have found someone who looked like Lee Min Ho and had the ability to act. The few dramas I've…
“Pachinko has a subtle, melancholic feel and he can't pull it off ... not nearly the acting ability to pull it off ” you say.
Meanwhile cut throat professional Hollywood critics:
The Hollywood Reporter: “i was impressed by Lee Min Ho's complex & mysterious expression of the character Hansu beyond sophisticated & intimidating character”
Indiewire: “(he's) delicate & gentle, but also intense”
Showbiz Cheatsheet: “his fans will see his acting as Hansu from a new perspective”
CNET: “he breathe life to the character with his sincerity & delicacy”
The Illuminerdi: “his voice,lines,eyes. he analyzed even the details”
So yeah he went beyond just pulling it off and in fact is one of the likely EMMY nominees LoL. He's got both the acting prowess and charisma.
The thing is it isn't even a kdrama. Pachinko having a page on mdl itself is weird
Pachinko is written by an American, the book itself is written in English. Even the directorsand the show runner are all American. And the production company of pachinko is American too.
As I've already said, pachinko isn't a co-production. It's strictly American unlike alya daughter of war which is a co production. If you check alya's Wikipedia page you'll see both turkey and Korea are included as country of origin while for pachinko it is only united states

I know what I'm talking about. Pachinko isn't a co-production. Pachinko is like Minari and Memoirs of a Geisha , neither of the movies are considered Asian despite the lead actors being Asian.
from the scene, it was 100% consensual and Sunja initiated the sex, so I am a bit confused by your comment?
She's sincere because she was always dutiful and faithful to her husband. Sunja always did everything she had to do to fullfil her duities and protect her family sincerely.
As I said many times feeling burned to have sex itself is wrong.

You could also see the shock on Sunja's face when she's told that she had to have sex with her husband to fullfil her duities because the pastor is still a man ...
Had sunja never been told to have sex during her pregnancy she would never took that step, it's precisely what irks me. Not so tough to see

I was clearly not talking about whether it's consensual or not because everyone can It's consensual. However what disgusts me is that she was burned to take the step, burdened by the responsibilities of fulfilling her husband's physical desire; the shock was evident on Sunja's face when yangjin told her to do so despite being pregnant. Also I'll expect any decent man to not have sex with a pregnant woman who's due in two months.
Actually pachinko is planned for four seasons, they're not going to cover the whole book in season 1, adult Noa…
To be precise we got middle aged Mozasu. What I wanted to say was that in the season we're not going to see either Noa or Mozasu transforming into adults from childhood
i hoped they'd follow the novel more precisely but alas. i haven't seen ep5 yet but i'm starting to think 8 episodes…

i think sunja willingly let her husband do that. though i agree having sex (let alone fingering someone who's…
Sunja willing did it because she's told to so, because she had to do so to fullfil her duties, because it's expected of her and it's so so sad. I would have liked it much more had they opened up with each other without participating in sexual act right after, had only they did sex later , after when Noa was born but unfortunately in almost no cases a man would opt to wait rather than having it right away. The fact that the scene is how it unfolds in most cases is both sad and disgusting. I like how close to reality the scene is and I hate how it's in real life.
Men will be men ... Isak having sex with a heavily pregnant Sunja , who is pregnant from another man , yikes. To make it worse Sunja was burdened to have sex with him because she gotta fulfill her wifely duities, my heart breaks for her. Bro you knew she didn't love you yet, you should have told her you would wait till the baby is born but nah ... Can't see Isak as a pure, kindhearted, angelic gentleman anymore. But a very good scene that shows how much women had to endure in that era
Why are people not watching this masterpiece? I know this was only added recently but it needs to go higher in…
Primary reason is it's on Apple TV Plus not on a popular/mainstream OTT platform like Netflix or Disney Plus; Apple TV Plus has less than 20 million subscribers and may be not even half of them are paid subscribers where Disney has over 100 million subscribers and Netflix has more than 200 million. Majority won't go through the hassle of sorting to piracy since it's neither a thriller nor a romcom but a beautifully crafted heavy drama that is so close to reality.
