Poster Reveals Key Characters and Symbolism

On August 20, 2024, the poster was released, showcasing the central figures of the series. Kim Min Ha is prominently displayed in a traditional orange hanbok, symbolizing the preservation of heritage and continuity. She is surrounded by Lee Min Ho, Youn Yuh Jung, and an older version of Kim Min Ha, each representing different generations and their struggles.

The background contrasts modern cityscapes with scenes of historical destruction, including a house in flames and warplanes in the sky. The use of warm oranges and cool blues conveys a sense of both turmoil and hope, reflecting the series’ exploration of resilience and survival.

Plot and Background of Pachinko

The upcoming season will continue to adapt the novel’s remaining story, diving deeper into the characters’ lives and struggles. Created and written by Soo Hugh, the series features an ensemble cast including Jin Ha, Han Jun Woo, Jung Eun Chae, Kaho Minami, Noh Sang Hyun, Anna Sawai, and Jimmy Simpson.
