David and Elysia are joined by special guest Nate Ledbetter, a Japanese history expert and Princeton PhD candidate, to explore Season 1 of Pachinko. They discuss the show's unique approach to bilingual storytelling, examine the historical context of 1920s-30s Korean-Japanese relations, and break down key character arcs including Sunja's journey from Korea to Japan. Nate provides valuable insights into the cultural and historical authenticity of the series, from regional accents to significant historical events like the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake.
