Tae Ho
In the shining galaxy of A.N.JELL, Bangtan Sonyeondan & CNBLUE
[EDITED]
There are already so many video essays or reviews on YouTube from film critics who analysed the film before the Oscars happened, so if you are like me who was not entirely blown away by the movie at first watch, I suggest you watch them afterwards. I have also included multiple links in the discussion section on the drama page to help ease your apprehension as to why this movie won Best Picture and widely acclaimed in film festivals. I have since reconsidered my view and thought that this was indeed a technical mastery. However, I do find the story to be way too complex to be told in the limited space of two hour movie format which explains why my score for the story won't change.

We may not get much about the rich family, but i guess you have to extract it from their small conversations such as the night at the couch insinuating that they are not exactly 'clean' people. well i guess most uber-rich families are guilty like that, and these are people who are well above the middle class.
which is quite telling of the Korean social class, like in Secret Garden, BoF or SKY Castle. except in the first two dramas i mentioned here, the ML are the pushovers, or tsundere characters, whereas in this movie, it's likened as if the poor girl is the one throwing herself onto rich guys and perhaps, trying to jump up the social class.
personally i feel this movie is in the same genre/quality as SKY Castle therefore evoking very strong emotional response by people who especially 'get it'.
SPOILER: the daughter of the poor family feels like the mother of Yeh Suh in SKY Castle who faked her real identity in order to survive/blend in with the elite class.
this movie is not just relevant for the Korean social class. i have watched videos of journalists investigating the uninhibited mansions with a secret bunker by Western billionaires, concentrated in many parts in Queenstown, New Zealand for them to move into should there be nuclear war or more cities would sink due to rising sea levels, which leave many New Zealanders there without a proper housing. so yeah, this movie could have been more complex and explore this subject more deeply in my opinion, which explains my scoring of it.
overall, i'm glad i watched this after SKY Castle; it helped me understand the gravity of this movie.
personally i think the idea/concept/theme of this movie can be nicely translated into a drama version and i'd totally watch it. it has a lot of room for characters, backstories and conflicts expansion which explains why 80%++ of the time, i watch dramas more than i watch movies.
Enjoy!
