I've started watching Pachinko and I have never craved a bowl of pure white rice more. Some of the show might be corny and Jimmi Simpson and his butchering of the Japanese language is totally unnecessary, but it's so beautifully shot and such a compelling story of migration and colonisation. I never thought I'd see such mainstream depiction of Zainichi Koreans marketed to the West.
