This adaptation of Min Jin Lee's acclaimed novel about a Korean family's efforts to persevere through colonialism, occupation and war features an international cast led by Jin Ha and Yuh-Jung Youn.
TV showrunner Soo Hugh has kept the core characters and narrative from Lee’s book — one of the best things I’ve read in the past few years — but has given its structure a major shakeup.
Decades later, Sunja’s grandson, New York finance whiz kid Solomon , is frustrated by his lack of advancement, but sees an opportunity to return to Japan to execute a key land deal involving a hotel stalled by a Korean landowner who refuses to sell. Going back to his roots lets Solomon reunite with his father Mozasu , who has gotten rich off the gambling console game of pachinko, and his grandmother Sunja .
The approach here allows Ha to be a presence presumably for the duration of the series, prevents viewers from having to wait to get toOscar winner Youn, and lets a lesser-known star like Minha Kim build a profile across what will be multiple seasons.
But it isn’t an inherently tragic series. The show’s title sequence is a glorious thing, starting with stern documentary footage of occupation and colonization and militarization, interrupted with the main characters joyfully dancing in one of Mozasu’s pachinko parlors to The Grass Roots’ “Let’s Live For Today.
