Pachinko Deep Dive

Lea loves the book. Amy loves Lee Min Ho. Together we watched Pachinko--the epic 2022 Apple TV+ American drama television series created by Soo Hugh based on the 2017 bestselling saga by Min Jin Lee. Join us as we dig in on whether we like book-to-screen adaptations as a rule and where the scope and ambition of this one succeeded even as it left us wondering what's next. Also, does Pachinko win the award for best intro to a show....well ever? Yes. Yes it does.
