Pachinko remains one of the most powerful dramas on TV in season 2 and showrunner Soo Hugh explains why.
What I love about Sunja is that she also represents the everyday person, Hugh explains.
You would do it because you want your kids to survive.
Thats what we always said Sunja is all of us.
She shouldnt feel like some superhero.
We have to verify that she feels like someone that you know.
What he imbibes into that character is just so fun to watch, Hugh observes.
Hes a villain in some ways and hes a hero in some ways, especially in season two.
Thats what I love that Min-ho brings.
Whenever the camera is on Min-ho, his interpretation of Hansu is to never show what hes thinking.
Solomons storyline is the hardest story to break in the writers room.
So much of what hes fighting and struggling through, I can understand more, in a way.
I can understand Solomons plight more than I can understand Sunjas plight, in a way.
Pachinko season 2 premieres August 23 on Apple TV+, with new episodes released Fridays.
