Jung Eun-chaoe, looking worried in the countryside, as Kyunghee in Pachinko Season 2

Apple TV+’s Pachinko revels in its historical setting, using real historical events to provide a fertile backdrop for its characters to embark on their journeys. Back for Season 2, the Korean-Japanese multilingual historical drama, helmed by The Outlaws’ Soo Hugh, will continue the saga of Sunja and her family through a turbulent time in history.

What Is Operation Meetinghouse? Close Codenamed Operation Meetinghouse, the bombing raids launched by the United States Army Air Forces on Tokyo on the night of 9th and 10th March 1945 were the deadliest bombing raid in history. According to CNN, an estimated 100,000 lives were lost, and another million were injured as a result of the firebombing raid on Tokyo. The massacre was carried out by long-range B-29 Superfortress bombers with advanced capabilities.

The Bombings Were Meticulously Planned To Destroy Tokyo The first bombing raids on Tokyo using B-29 bombers started in November 1944. Initially targeting industrial factories assisting Tokyo, the early B-29 missions were failures . The failures led to the entry of Major General Curtis LeMay, who then went on to design the Tokyo firebombing on 9th and 10th March 1945.
