Just finished season 1 of Patchinko. Interesting saga coving 4 generations of a Korean family from early 1900s until the 1990s. Patchwork approach to the timeline so keeping up with who is who and how situations fit together with the added challenge of subtitles as most dialogue is in Korean.
The portrayal of how the Koreans were (are?) regarded as inferior to the Japanese was interesting and something I hadn't been aware of. Strong characters, striking scenery and some sad scenes as poverty and Japanese domination play out. A good watch and we are looking forward to season 2 which has now been signed up and due for screening next year.
