LOS ANGELES – The acclaim enjoyed by drama series such as Pachinko and 2024’s Emmy-dominating Shogun – both historical dramas set in Japan – suggests a new openness in Hollywood to telling in-depth stories about Asia.
In a Zoom chat with reporters, Korean-American creator Soo Hugh says it was “brave and bold” of Apple TV+ to air the ambitious historical epic, which begins in Japan-ruled Korea in 1915 and follows the life of a woman named Sunja – played by Kim Min-ha as a teenager and Youn as an old woman.
Asked what South Korea’s entertainment industry and Hollywood can learn from each other, Lee says: “I think the most important part of filming Pachinko was the effort to deliver the message in a more meaningful, truthful way based on the story. Lee also had to leave his comfort zone to film Pachinko’s opening-credit sequence, which sees the actors step out of character to dance joyfully to upbeat music.
