Sep 9, 2022it’s well done in a bog standard way.
as another commenter mentioned this is great for 1987.
typical korean drama is much more multilayered, self aware, sophisticated this is vanilla and maybe a bit trite
it feels like it was dreamed up and executed by a bunch of well meaning execs in some office in california who actually never watched any korean drama before

Life’s rich pageant is present and correct in Pachinko and it’s magnificent. A strong shout for the most satisfying TV of the year so far.

Pachinko is a sprawling, moving saga of parental sacrifice, feminine resilience and cultural identity threatened by an oppressive regime. It's also one of the few streaming series I wished was longer than eight episodes. [28 Mar - 10 Apr 2022, p.6]

Eight episodes is not enough. Every rich moment satisfies, and each will make you ache for more. ... "Pachinko" is a pure and flawless beauty.
