Re: Pachinko (Apple TV +)
When I first watched this drama it was not on Apple TV+. I enjoyed the drama very much. I believe there have been other Korean dramas that have aired on Apple TV+. But some from what I have been told only aired in Asia countries. I actually downloaded each episode and also the English Subs. There were 2 different types of English subtitles. One was for the hearing impaired. I recently signed up for 3 months free on Apple TV +. I notice subs are in different colors. I believe blue color is when Japanese language is being spoken. Orange is when Korean is being spoken. And white is when English is being spoken. The subs I downloaded for episode where all white.

They only have two K-Dramas at the moment - both Dr. Brain and Pachinko debuted globally on Apple TV+.
The subtitles are similar to what The Handmaiden did with different colors for Korean and Japanese, I find it pretty helpful.
