Koh Hansu and Sunja's love story in Pachinko

The first three episodes portray Sunja's present and past in parallel. She is an elderly women in the present and the audience gets a peek at her past while she recalls certain memories. From how her life was as a child, with her disabled father and mother, to growing up into a beautiful young woman.

This is when she meets Koh Hansu and falls in love with him. The passion in this relationship is visceral and it leaves a lasting impression in the viewers minds. Sunja's parents own the local boardhouse, and their income is modest at best. On the other hand, her lover is a self-made man who has climbed the rungs of social structure. He is rich and influential, and is a broker at the local market.

Their love burns deep and fast, once Sunja learns that her lover is married. He also has no plans of letting go of his wife in Osaka, but offers to take the former in as his mistress. He promises her comfort and wealth, and this disgusts Sunja. She refuses his offer in Pachinko, and ends her relationship with him. If they will cross paths again, is a question that one must wait to be addressed in the upcoming episodes.
