While the series 'Pachinko' stays mostly true to the book, there are, of course, a few notable exceptions.
Both the TV show and the novel explore how Solomon , Sunja’s grandson, navigates early adulthood across the United States, Japan and South Korea in the 1980s. But missing from the adaptation is his Korean American girlfriend: Phoebe.
In fact, at the end of the novel, after she visits her father's and husband's grave in Korea, Sunja returns to where, as Lee writes in the last sentence of the book,"Kyunghee would be waiting for her at home." In the novel, several decades after Sunja left her hometown, Sunja's mother cries while remembering Bokhee and Dokhee, who she surmises were exploited by Japanese soldiers while Korea was under Japanese colonial rule.
During their emotional reunion, Bokhee explains what happened to her and Dokhee after Sunja got married and left the country, later detailing the tragedy of how her sister died.And perhaps most notably and largely absent from the show is Sunja's firstborn: Noa.
