Season 1 Review:
The show is at once an educational, sweeping saga (about culture, history, politics, romance, and lineage), and a pointed story about its protagonist, Sunja, and her loved ones at various times in their lives. As such, it’s brimming with ideas, and conveys them really well.

Season 1 Review:
In its acting, production, respect for character over machination (though there is plenty of machination) and for stillness over action (there is some action), in its interest in domestic details and the limitless depths of the human face, it transforms the most well-worn narrative gambits into something that feels real and alive and lived.

Season 1 Review:
The limited series is an artfully staged and detailed historical epic that alternates between three time periods, juxtaposing the present with poignant memories of one family’s experiences across generations. ... For all of Pachinko’s rich multi-generational plotlines and compelling secondary characters, it’s Sunja who remains the story’s heart. ... [Lending] Pachinko its dramatic heft and most heart-wrenching moments.

Season 1 Review:
While she [showrunner Soo Hugh] conjures moments of immense power, and of connection, throughout, “Pachinko” does not, finally, cohere. One yearns for the show that let its key moments sing without the at-times forced collisions between eras, ones that can keep viewers feeling both on the hook and in the dark.

The cinematography and music attracted me a lot which help many flashbacks and roles to pour in from the angle of sunja. The nationalism story was told very indistinct but profound. I think Hollywood will prefer the way directors and actors of presenting their story.

Great series although the episode 7 was a bit out of sync with storyline. The acting was wonderful by everyone in the cast.
