Pachinko (Seasons 1–2)

Pachinko (2022) is an Apple TV+ drama series you can watch online on iFILM, adapted from Min Jin Lee's bestselling novel of the same name. The story runs across four generations of a Korean family, moving between Japanese-occupied Korea in the 1930s, Osaka in the late 1980s, and New York in the early 1990s.

Everything pivots on Sunja, a fisherman's daughter whose choice as a teenager sends ripples through every life that follows. Kim Min Ha plays her young, while Academy Award winner Youn Yuh-jung takes over decades later. Lee Min-ho appears as the magnetic and dangerous fish broker Hansu; Jimmy Simpson carries the 1989 timeline. Directors Kogonada and Justin Chon keep three eras in motion simultaneously without losing the emotional thread between them.

The show is wide in scope and quiet in tone — less a saga about survival and more a reckoning with what people inherit and what they refuse to. It's one of the more carefully made streaming dramas of the decade. Stream all episodes of Pachinko (2022) online on iFILM.
