A Dramatic Magnum Opus
Soo Hugh's upcoming American drama television series, Pachinko, is an adaptation of Min Jin Lee's highly acclaimed New York Times best-selling novel of the same name. The show follows an extraordinary international star cast and is directed by Kogonada and Justin Chon, with four episodes to each's credit. The eight-episode series is an emotionally epic and magnum opus, creating an interesting subject about the wishes and desires of four generations of a Korean immigrant family, opening with a secret affair that progresses to a sweeping odyssey set in Korea, Japan, and America with a universal appeal. Soo Hugh, according to a report in The Hollywood Reporter, has maintained the lead characters' authenticity while juggling two narratives, unlike Min Jin Lee, who developed the story over three books, commencing in 1910 and concluding in 1989.
