it highlights the social inequality of life in urban Korea, but I'm old enough to remember when the entire country was a hell hole of poverty after the Korean war, and before then, a poor country under the tyrannical Japanese occupation.
So why not show a film that lauds the hard work of the Korean people to pull themselves out of poverty? No, they have to imitate socialism's meme of “inequality”, where (horrors) poor people actually have to work hard.
but it's not entertaining. It's not funny. And it ends with a murder spree. Fun? Comedy? Nonsense.
n some ways, it seemed to be a plagiarism of the plot of the film “Get Out”.
It’s a black comedy yes. Gallows humor. “Pulp Fiction” is also a comedy. It has nothing in common with “Get Out” that I can think of. It does not demonize the rich - the wealthy couple are decent people who are being taken advantage of by the avaricious, and conniving. They are victims.
