The series till now have loyally followed the storyline of the book. However, there are some twists and turns like the introduction of Naomi that is not seen in the book. In Pachinko Season 2, there can be such unexpected twists too. One thing for sure is that little Noa will have a bigger role to play in the second season of Pachinko. The first season was very emotional, one can expect the same amount of emotions from the second season. In the second season, Kyunghee, played by Eun-Chae Jung, will become a strong person and develop further. Also, in the first season, the brotherhood between Noa and Mozasu could not be captured properly because of their young age. However, in the second season, the viewers will be able to see the magical bond of their brotherhood. Their union is something that the viewers can expect, which was also visible in the book too. This is like a spoiler for the second season for sure.
The stakes of Pachinko Season 2 are big and it will be more dramatic in comparison to the first season. This is because the story will keep growing further, therefore, both the scale and stakes are high for the second season. The first season was epic for sure and the viewers can expect nothing less than that in the second season.
