Lee Minh-ho and Minha Kim reunite

Apple TV+ has unveiled the trailer for ‘Pachinko’ season 2. Based on the 2017 novel by Min Jin Lee, the eight-episode second season will premiere worldwide on August 23.

‘Pachinko’ tells the story of four generations of a Korean family who moved to Japan before the start of World War II. According to an official synopsis for season 2, “the parallel stories take place in Osaka in 1945, where Sunja is forced to make dangerous decisions for her family’s survival during World War II, and in Tokyo in 1989, where Solomon finds new, humble beginnings.”

In the trailer, Koh Hansu (Lee Min-ho) reunites with Teen Sunja (Minha Kim) in war-torn Osaka, Japan, after nearly two decades apart. “It’s been fourteen years. How did you find me?” Sunja asks when she sees Hansu. “I never lost you,” he answers.

Other cast members for season 2 include Yuh-Jung Youn, Jin Ha, newly nominated Emmy nominee Anna Sawai, Eunchae Jung, Soji Arai, Junwoo Han, Jimmi Simpson and Sungkyu Kim.

The first season of “Pachinko,” which premiered in March 2022, was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Main Title Design. It would take home honors at the 2022 Gotham Awards for Breakthrough Series and the 2023 Critics Choice Awards for Best Foreign Language Series.

Soo Hugh serves as series creator, writer and executive producer with Michael Ellenberg and Lindsey Springer for Media Res and Theresa Kang for Blue Marble Pictures. Leanne Welham, Arvin Chen and Sang-il Lee are the directors of season 2.
