12. I've never cried more over a TV show than I have Pachinko...

It ranks as one of the highest quality shows I've ever had the pleasure (and pain) of watching.

The opening credits to season 1 are so, so good - and on a side note: the only show that I never skipped the opening credits. In the backstory to those credits, with real historical photos interspersed with the various actors dancing in a pachinko hall, the creators wanted a vibrant, exuberant counterpoint to the often painful storyline.

I haven't watched season 2 yet.

Suggestion: Set your TV to Korean for audio and English for CC for the best viewing experience. Much better than the dubbed English for scenes where there's Korean dialogue.
