評分和評論

Such a well-made craft. It's the kind of movie that sits in your mind for days, as you dig and analyse deeper. You find layers and layers of riches hidden in this film. It makes you think and also helps us to confront our own reality. Well-deserved for all the praises it receives!

I don't know why this is classed as a comedy as this is more thriller / suspense movie rather than comedy. There were some funny moments throughout however it was just a brilliant movie and commentary on class struggle. The disparity between the wealthy and the hand to mouth poor is shown brilliantly in this down to earth depiction. I will recommend this movie to anyone that will listen. This movie was a roller coaster of emotions from start to finish. Brilliant.

You will need to watch the subtitles if you don't understand Korean but the movie is worth watching. A short description of the storyline....a comparison of two families, one poor, the other wealthy. Some comical scenes in the mix and the plot hovers mostly around the lives/actions of the poor family. Viewers will come to realise soon enough why the movie is titled as such. A decent storyline and builds up to an interesting if not emotional end.
