As for "Pachinko" Season 2, viewers will get to see dramatic stories and "history-packed" sequels. Soo Hugh also teased fans by hinting at what to expect in the upcoming season.

According to the showrunner, Season 2 will feature a "little bit of a time jump" and will highlight the second generation of the family.

The story will revolve around young Mozasu and his older brother Noah.

In addition to this, lead star Kim Min Ha said that the sequel will be all "about the story of Sunja, continued from Season 1... even heavier, but still, there's joy."

Meanwhile, Jin Ha, who played the role of Baek Solomon, will experience conflict, which will bring him character growth.

"I think we are seeing him question his preconceived notions of what success looked like when we met him at the beginning of the season, and I'm rooting for him to find a healthier and less toxic idea of success."

Based on the famous novel of the same name written by Min Jin Lee, "Pachinko" Season 2 cast includes Lee Min Ho, Oscar-winning actress Youn Yuh Jung, Kim Min Ha, and more, under the direction of Justin Chon of the highly-acclaimed films "Gook" and "Ms. Purple."
