    Whereas, “Pachinko” is a multigenerational story of “war and peace, love and loss, triumph and reckoning” told across three languages — Korean, Japanese and English — is an American production which streamed on Apple TV+.

    Production on the second season of the show is underway.

    Last month, Park-starrer “The King’s Affection” made history as the first K-drama to bag an International Emmy nomination in the best telenovela category.

    In 2021, Netflix’s hit K-drama “Squid Game” won two Critics Choice Awards for best foreign language series and best actor in a drama series (Lee Jung-jae).

    “Abbott Elementary”, an American mockumentary sitcom set in a fictional predominantly Black school in Philadelphia, leads the nominations with six nods, closely followed by the Bob Odenkirk-starrer “Better Call Saul” at five.

    The Critics Choice Awards ceremony will be held on January 15 in Los Angeles.
