Apple TV 's Pachinko is completely captivating. The story traces three generations of a Korean family, beginning in the 1910s in a small fishing village through the 1980s in Osaka, Japan. Featuring an all-star cast—including Oscar winner Youn Yuh-jung, South Korean superstar Lee Min-ho, Broadway veteran Jin Ha, and newcomer Minha Lee—the eight episode series is surely poised to become an awards juggernaut.
