Copy of tv-pachinko-review-6c3f1434-ac5d-11ec-b06d-7b66e120cc89-1649239112713 — Pachinko (Apple TV): Pachinko is a gripping drama series that is based on a novel written by Min Jin Lee. The show follows the story of a Korean immigrant family and their struggle to survive. Completely straying from the glitz and glamour of a usual K-drama, ‘Pachinko’ portrays a very raw aspect of South Korea that not many people are aware of. Set in Japan-occupied Korea, the story unravels the laborious efforts that most people would have to take in order to survive during that time. The cast selection is absolutely apt and the cinematography pulls the viewer right into the Korea between 1910-1989. Image Credit: Apple TV Plus
