Pachinko: Episode 4 (Drama Hangout)

is it just me, or did that tailor shop exchange between Hansu and Isak not happen in the book? i don’t recall Hansu being so “invasive” in Sunja’s life, i recall that he definitely was watching from the sidelines, but never had a direct exchange like that…

i could be forgetting certain details, but… i’m guessing the production wanted to cast Hansu in a more direct/mean manner? if i recall correctly, the display Sunja witnessed of Hansu’s rough/violent exchange with a vendor/fisherman at the terminal – and another incident later with one of his subordinates – was to illustrate that how he is professionally is very much yakuza-like.

but i don’t recall him displaying that meanness in his personal relationships.
