Pachinko meets Homeland

Pilot:  During the Korean War, a pacifist South Korean bicycle courier working for the U.S. Army abandons an intelligence mission deep inside North Korea to rescue his girlfriend's father, only to face an impossible choice: reunite with the brother he thought he'd lost or save the man he

came to rescue.

Short Synopsis: In a world still defined by borders, immigration, and the military industrial complex, Reunification urgently speaks to our present moment.

Inspired by the writer's grandfather, across the series our courier, Soo Young, is recruited by American intelligence, sent to the U.S., and becomes the first Korean admitted to a  prestigious American business school while secretly serving as a CIA asset. Yet his true goal never changes: to reunite with his brother and heal a family torn apart by the birth of two Koreas. As the 38th parallel hardens into the DMZ, Soo Young abandons his own family in pursuit of that impossible dream. The story spans decades, following his marriage, American-born daughter, career as a political science professor championing democracy in South Korea, and the cost of the secrets he carries, culminating with the 1980 Gwangju Massacre of students and professors.
