I loved reading the book PACHINKO by Min Jin Lee. It’s a gripping story from start to finish about a Korean family through multiple generations, with the setting being in a colonized Korea and later in Japan.

Now halfway through the eight-episode series (season one) of the TV adaptation of ‘Pachinko’ on Apple TV+, I can’t say that I am loving the way the story is unfolding on-screen.

Yes, I am probably biased because I read the book before watching the series.
