Pachinko is an upcoming drama television series based on the novel of the same name by Min Jin Lee. It is scheduled to air on Apple TV+ on March 25, 2022.

To pursue her dreams, Sakurai Kazumi (Wakui Emi) quits her job and goes to New York to study jewelry design, against the objections of her naggy and stubborn but well-meaning father (Takeda Tetsuya). As part of remaking herself, she changes from spectacles to contact lenses, even though she has problems adapting to them. When she accidentally drops her contact lenses, a mysterious man helps prevent them from being stepped on, but he walks away before she can talk to him. Some years pass, and Kazumi is on a plane home after receiving a letter from her brother Taku saying their father is critically ill. She has morning sickness and has some run-ins on the plane with a sloppily-dressed man, and it is only when she drops her contacts and the man helps her in a similar way that she recognises him (Sorimachi Takashi). She chases after him and asks, "would you like to do some work (arubaito)?" It turns out that Kazumi in her last letter from New York had written that she was in a relationship with someone and that they might soon marry, but since then she has broken up with him, and she didn't want to make her father upset by coming home alone. The man, a freelance journalist named Yoshimi Kaoru, agrees to pretend to be her fiancé. On reaching home, Kazumi discovers that her father is not actually on his deathbed (he just had minor surgery), and everyone discovers that Taku had written that letter back to Kazumi where their father says he's happy about the relationship. But the biggest shock comes when Kazumi admits that she's pregnant, and that she wants to have the baby...

For anyone who wants to help me on this channel, please help translate some information because apparently, I'm clueless.. I don't know what's happening, and I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could translate the home page. Thanks! Here's a wiki page of the drama.

The genius behind the famous video game, “Better World,” Nisa’s father has dedicated his life to making the game the best in the world. Opting to walk her own path, rather than follow in her father’s footsteps, Nisa is now a successful young surgeon who has little to do with her father’s game. But when her father mysteriously goes missing, it’s up to Nisa to cross over into the world of video games in order to find him.  Using a pair of VR glasses her father had hidden away, Nisa finds herself crossing quite literally into “Better World” to search for her father. As she searches, she frequently crosses paths with Akin, a mysterious young hero who is on a quest of his own. Realising Nisa is not from this world, Akin follows her into the real world and is shocked by what he finds. But the shocking reality of his existence is only the beginning. Learning there are forces both outside and inside the game, trying to take over “Better World”, Nisa and Akin must team up to save both Akin and the world in which he lives. Brought together by fate, Nisa and Akin cross between worlds in a fight to save that which they love most. Will they find a way to save “Better World” and live “happily ever after” or is their story destined to end in tragedy?
