The meeting of Hansu (Lee Min Ho) and Sunja (Kim Min Ha) is the main focus of this series, combining themes of family, business, and the complex relationships between the players. Pachinko 2 will further explore the life of the main character Sunja as she raises her children in a turbulent world. Sunja is told to try her best to protect her family.
She must make dangerous decisions to save those closest to her. The story intersects with Solomon (Jin Ha), who has to start a new life from scratch in Tokyo, Japan, in 1989. Also the elderly Sunja (Youn Yuh Jung) who worries about her grandson.
