Sungkyu Kim and Lee Minho chat in Pachinko season 2, episode 5
In Pachinko season 2, episode 5, the harrowing fallout from World War II continues, especially where Yoseb's story is concerned, well into the 1950s. The show's previous outing split its time evenly between the 1945 and 1989 timelines, the fifth episode spends more time with Sunja and her family in the past. Pachinko season 2, episode 4 explored the limits of Hansu's supposed generosity. Although he reunited Sunja with her mother, he also expected more from Sunja in return.
The sequence stands in stark contrast to the beautifully lensed moments in the countryside. Although war and violence are ever-present menaces for Sunja and her family, there is some modicum of safety in the rice fields. In cities like Nagasaki, however, all hope or fleeting moments of joy have been completely drained away. Even so, Yoseb insists on doing whatever it takes to survive. It's a mantra that he repeats to a fellow Korean worker, Taehoon , who reminds Yoseb a lot of Isak.
It's a sparse-yet-effective means of emphasizing the complete devastation wrought by the Allied Forces' atomic bomb. 4 Yoseb Survives The Atomic Bomb Hansu Takes Yoseb To The Countryside Until Osaka Is Safe In the aftermath of the atomic bombing, Pachinko reveals that Yoseb survived the atrocity. Not only that, but Hansu has yet again aided Sunja's extended family by rescuing Yoseb from the wreckage of Nagasaki and bringing him to the countryside. Hansu explains that Yoseb only survived because of the van, which he was thrown into after Taehoon's attack. In a strange way, Taehoon did save someone.
Awkwardly, Mr. Kim still lives with the family, which means he shares a home with Yoseb and Kyunghee, the love of his life. While Mr. Kim wants to move out of the house, Hansu insists that he stay put until Noa, Hansu's biological son, gets into university. Ever-loyal, Mr. Kim obliges, even if living with Kyunghee is incredibly painful.
