Pachinko Season 2 Trailer: Lee Min-ho and Minha Kim Reunite During World War II in Gener

Apple TV+ has unveiled the trailer for “Pachinko” Season 2. Based on the 2017 novel by Min Jin Lee, the second eight-episode season will premiere globally Aug. 23.

“Pachinko” chronicles four generations of a Korean family who moved to Japan before the start of World War II. According to an official synopsis for Season 2, “the parallel stories pick up in Osaka in 1945, where Sunja is forced to make dangerous decisions for her family’s survival during World War II, and in Tokyo in 1989, which finds Solomon exploring new, humble beginnings.”

In the trailer, Koh Hansu (Lee Min-ho) reunites with Teen Sunja (Minha Kim) in war-torn Osaka, Japan after almost two decades apart. “It’s been 14 years. How did you find me?” Sunja asks upon seeing Hansu. “I never lost you,” he responds.
