Pachinko 파친코

Four generations of one Korean family, from a fishing village under occupation to Osaka's pachinko parlors. Apple TV+'s sweeping saga made Busan's seascapes a character of their own.

Why fans make the trip

Sun-ja's Korea is the emotional anchor of the whole saga. Yeongdo's cliffs and the hanok lanes that stood in for her village give the story a physical home you can actually walk.
