It is a tough and extremely sensitive subject to cover in just eight episodes, but Pachinko beautifully weaves a story about what it means to sacrifice for your family and the generational burden that comes with it. During this time, Zainichi Koreans (ethnic Korean residents of Japan) were discriminated against and were even denied citizenship, despite some being born there. The story takes place between the years of 19, a period that included the Japanese occupation of Korea the 1923 Great Kantō Earthquake, which led to the massacre of Korean residents in Japan and the events of World War II. In this case, AppleTV+’s drama series Pachinko, based on the bestselling novel by Min Jin Lee, chronicles the struggles and successes of four generations of a Korean immigrant family living in Japan. Book-to-television adaptations can be difficult to pull off, especially when they feature heavy themes surrounding real-life situations.
