After Shogun, that we announced last week, here is another Asia set new television series to look forward to, and it is also an adaptation! Min Jin
Lee's international best selling novel PACHINKO will be turned into a TV series by Apple!

PACHINKO is a saga that follows the lives of four generations of a
poor Korean immigrant family, exiled from their home and struggling to
build a future in Japan.
The complex story begins in 1911 with the forbidden relationship between
Sunja, a fisherman’s daughter, and a wealthy man she meets near her
home by the seashore. When Sunja learns she is pregnant and her lover
his married, she accepts the proposal of a minister on his way to Japan.
Her choices have a profound effect on her life and the lives of her
descendants. The Terror and Under the Dome's Soo Hugh is executive
producing and writing the show.
Sounds promising!
ReplyDeleteAsia is very inn these days in Hollywood.
DeletePacinko(Pachinko) - is what I call Al Pacino, my favorite male actor.
ReplyDeleteI suppose most people will find interest both in the book and in the TV series because of the subject: immigration and immigrants. Its complexity touches almost everybody, in any ethnical society, asian or european.
Yes, for us who speak Slavic languages Pacinko does sound like a pet name for someone you love.
DeleteI'm not sure if this one will make it into my list or not. I'll need to see the trailer first.
