Roxana Hadadi New York Magazine/Vulture Pachinko doesn’t need to rig the game when its strengths already give it such an edge. Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Clint Worthington RogerEbert.com The performances remain uniformly excellent, especially Ha and Youn as Sunja at two distinct, but no less profound, eras in her life. Rated: 3/4 Aug 27, 2024 Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal The milieu, as this reviewer said last time around, is fascinatingly unfamiliar but, as with any family saga, the story is ultimately about us all. Not so strange. And very easy to embrace. Aug 26, 2024 Full Review Daniel Chin The Ringer With perhaps the exception of the show’s wonderful, updated opening title sequence, what is immediately striking about Pachinko’s new season is how beautifully rendered and immersive its world continues to be. Aug 31, 2024 Full Review Neely Swanson Beverly Hills Courier I’m still gripped by these characters and their stories. It is a series like Pachinko where I understand the value of the weekly viewing over the binge watch. It gives you more time to savor and absorb before diving into the next episode. Aug 30, 2024 Full Review James Delingpole The Spectator Pachinko comes pretty close, I’d say, to being must-watch television: for the acting, for the unfamiliar setting, for the sweeping melodrama of the masochistically compulsive plot and, most instructively, for the handy history lesson.

Ale M Definitely Pachinko is a Masterpice, each of the performances are amazing since the sequence of the opening, the story of 4 generations of Korean immigrants and how they overcame each of the obstacles and managed to maintain the love for their nation, photography, beautiful landscapes, costumes, art of their traditions, food, music, time management and that have managed 3 languages English, Korean and Japanese. Incredible actors and indeed each of their stories catch you as Hansu (his strength, gestures, depth, motives) and Sunja (her strength, love) their performances transport you to that time and at the same time make you feel and think how lucky we are to live in what our previous generations built. Everyone should see Pachinko even if you are not Korean at some point they will feel identified. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review Jessica R Pachinko S2 es fascinante te atrapa desde el primer momento cada personaje tiene su historia que deja una enseñanza capítulo por capítulo, definitivamente la historia de Sunja y Hansu es una de mis favoritas ese amor imposible y sacrificado. Una excelente producción, ambientada a la perfección, fotografía espectacular y la música de lo mejor, en resumen una gran joya Pachinko. El mejor actor a mi parecer Lee Min Ho. Espero disfruten tanto como yo esta gran serie. Jessica RG🇲🇽 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/15/24 Full Review Amanda G Ha sido un viaje intenso, desde la historia, las locaciones, la épocas que atraviesan a través de las generaciones , una adaptación magistral, me fascina el papel de Lee Minho , la intensidad que refleja en las emociones de Koh Hansu , esa manera de hacer suyo el personaje, sin dejar de lado a los demás actores que dejan su huella, el pequeño Mozasu se ganó el corazón de muchos ,jajajaja la correteada de la gallina fue genial , una mirada a esos años tan difíciles que atravesaron en su historia. Amanda Gtz 🇲🇽 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review Vivian G Pachinko is to spectacular series... All the actors did a great job..My favorite is Hansu, I'm really proud of Lee Min Ho... To all actors thank you for your hard work, Pachinko is a spectacular series❤️❤️❤️… Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review Elizabeth C Pachinko es simplemente magnífica en todos los sentidos y nos mostró desde la primera temporada que sería una serie de alta Calidad, una verdadera obra de arte. La historia de una familia coreana que tuvo que afrontar el maltrato y la discriminación,las carencias pero también la resiliencia para salir adelante. Es una serie con un magnífico que paisaje, acompañada de una bella selección musical, las extraordinarias actuaciones de las cuales yo destacaría la de Kim Minha que interpreta a Sinja de joven, y como no mencionar Lee Min Ho que interpreta a Koh Hansu que si bien su aparición es corta,nos regala una interpretación magistral. Se agradece que se haya realizado la segunda temporada. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review Mrs. M excellent work I am fascinated by Hansu Flor Ramirez 🇲🇽 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
