Although different in setting and tone, the Apple TV series share an understanding of the spiritual cost of repression.

I very much enjoyed Daniel Jung’s comparison of Severance and Pachinko. I had read Pachinko before seeing the series, and his article was very insightful and brought more memories from the book of the Koreans’ repression of emotions to mind.
