After dominating global charts, Pachinko has officially ended with the last episode aired on April 29. On social networks, many viewers expressed their regret at having to say goodbye to a special TV show with an excellent cast like Pachinko.
Not to let the fans down, a tweet was recently circulated on social media implicitly announcing that Pachinko, starring Lee Min Ho, Kim Min Ha, and Youn Yuh Jung, will have a second season with the same cast.
Specifically, in an interview when promoting the film, Pachinko’s writer and producer – Soo Hugh confirmed that the project will have many seasons. Writer Soo Hugh added when talking to Screen Rant that the series will have a total of 4 seasons.
Pachinko’s screenwriter shared: “The show is four seasons long, so it was never supposed to be a limited series. So the idea is we’re going to watch these characters grow up as well, so that storyline is coming I think there’s no way you can tell the story just in eight episodes; it’s impossible. To do it full justice, and to fall in love with the characters and really understand what they live through, it has to be the whole spectrum.”
As a result, the audience will be able to follow Pachinko’s story over the course of four seasons. According to the scriptwriter, the team will track the characters’ development day by day. As a result, there’s a good chance that the characters from season 1 will return for the rest of the series.
The crowd was ecstatic at the aforementioned information and agreed that it would be so sad if a series with such good content and a great cast like Pachinko ended after just 8 episodes.
Some comments from the audience:
- This is also what I want.
- Even if Pachinko has 10 seasons, I’ll still watch them all
- 8 episodes is too short. We need more
It is known that Pachinko focuses on telling the story of four generations in a Korean family, who have to deal with the Korean-Japanese war. As soon as the first information of season 1 was announced, Pachinko and the cast received a lot of positive reactions.
According to the public, this is a drama that breaks the inherent rules of Korean films and quickly captures the hearts of audiences around the world.
