The cast of Pachinko
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Min Jin Lee's novel Pachinko which might spoil the TV series.
Release Date March 25, 2022 Creator Soo Hugh Cast Jin Ha , Soji Arai , Jun-woo Han , In-ji Jeong Main Genre Drama Seasons 2 Streaming Service Apple TV+ Expand The Apple TV+ Series Follows a Different Chronology and Structure When it comes to the chronology of events and the narrative structure, Apple TV+’s Pachinko puts forth its biggest creative change as compared to the source material. Lee’s novel unfolds in the form of an epic saga with events taking place chronologically from 1910 to 1989.
However, in the book, Solomon follows an easier path by turning to his father’s former boss, Goro, who also happens to be yakuza. Contrary to the series, Solomon is fired from his job when the lady suspiciously dies a few days later after her deal with Goro. In the series, Solomon’s exit from Shiffley’s, the company he was working for, is a consequence of his own actions.
In Lee’s book version of the story, Sunja never returns to Korea after setting foot in Osaka, Japan. Accordingly, the servant girl Bokhee, who worked at Sunja’s mother Yangin’s boarding house in Yeongbo, never makes an appearance in the book after Sunja’s departure from the small fishing village. It’s only implied that Bokhee and her sister Donghee may have become the victims of the brutality of Japanese soldiers. Also, Sunja never meets her mother in the series after coming to Tokyo.
Also, the series provides Hansu with a backstory before he meets Sunja. In Episode 7 of Season 1, the series delves into Hansu’s youth when he suffered through the Great Kantō earthquake of 1923 and lost his father Koh Jong-yul . In the immediate aftermath, the Kantō Massacre ensued and an estimated 6,000 Koreans were massacred, as suggested in the episode’s end. The inclusion of a backstory allows the audience to see him as more than just an antagonist.
But, in the book, the incident at the chocolate shop is only mentioned in passing, and it is Hana who steals from the shop. Hana’s bitterness stemmed directly from her relationship with her mother. In the book, Hana became witness to the divorce of her parents — a direct consequence of Etsuko’s many affairs during her marriage. The internal conflict with Hana made her resent everyone around her, including herself.
