Dramas 2023

Just some of my thoughts for some of the dramas of 2023...

-KING THE LAND !!!!! The natural chemistry between the main leads is just so so soooo real that it makes it hard to believe that they're "just friends" in reality; However, at the same time it makes sense, as both Junho and Yoona have been in the entertainment industry and have known each other for a long time (2pm and SNSD go wayyyy back, IYKYK). I'm kind of surprised it took them this long to meet for a drama project, but as a fan of both 2pm and SNSD, I'm so glad to see them both working together again. There are so many funny moments in this drama and the added sound effects and acting make some of the scenes so funny. I also like the easter eggs added in the drama haha. Definitely a feel-good drama. I ship the main leads..!! They already know each other so well and they're also starting to look the same haha. -See You in My 19th Life This series is based on the webtoon, and the drama was surprisingly not bad. Ahn Bo Hyun and Shin Hye Sun both are great together, and I feel like recently Shin Hye Sun has been typecasted into these somewhat typical bold, fearless characters that are also seemingly reflective of her own personality but in this drama I was able to kind of see somewhat of a different side to her (hard to explain hahah). And Ahn Bo Hyun...he's very versatile as an actor. And finding out that he's now dating Jisoo of BP...super unexpected haha !! The drama itself is somehow comforting with all the characters meshing well together. Pleasant~~

-Celebrity Hmmmmm this one was great but something about the female lead I can't put my finger on.. While I do feel like her acting has improved over the years and I see that in some scenes of this drama as well, there were parts where it just seemed flat but I'm not sure if it's just how her character was written. The storyline itself was definitely interesting nonetheless, and I didn't have much expectations going into it, but it does touch upon the effects of social media in modern times and I liked the mystery/thriller type of vibe.

-D.P. Star-studded cast; haven't watched this yet but excited to pick up where they left off for season 1.

-The Real Has Come The cast is talented and there are strong characters in this drama and lots of twists and funny moments. It's light and funny, but there's 50 episodes so there are definitely times where it's a bit draggy but also that's typical of any family dramas. -Oasis Jang Dong Yoon!!! Hahaha I think the cast did a great job with their portrayals though I feel like Jang Dong Yoon just has such a baby-face and looks like he wouldn't hurt a fly but he looked so cool playing this role as Lee Doo Hak. I liked the old-fashioned style of this drama as it took place in the 80s-90s Korea, so it was really refreshing to see the type of fashion, dialects and overall atmosphere during that time through this drama, and think about how much has changed. There were parts of the drama that felt a little repetitive, but I think overall the cast made up for it. -Apple of My Eye (금이야, 옥이야) Typical family drama, a little predictable but expected haha.

Jupiter Influence Among Korean Actors

Over the years, I have noticed a distinct pattern in the Korean entertainment industry, where most stars considered to be icons have strong Jupiter influence in their charts. Korean general public prefers celebs with a graceful and elegant image, who also have "duality" (they're cute but fierce) and Jupiter natives are endowed with these charms.

I had already mentioned female Kpop idols & Jupiter influence on a previous post, so, this post will focus mainly on Korean actors.

Song Hye Kyo is arguably the most successful Korean actress of all time. She has been in the top billing for over 20years at this point.

She has Hasta Moon (I had mentioned in another post about how Hasta women are revered for their femininity and grace), Uttarashada Ketu (UA gives one a glamorous image) and Vishaka Mercury Atmakaraka.

Atmakaraka is what signifies our soul's purpose, hers lies in the Jupiterean nak of Vishaka.

In fact, its very common for Korean actors to have their atmakaraka or amatyakaraka in a Jupiter nakshatra.

2. Park Minyoung has Venus in Purvabhadrapada as her atmakaraka

She rose to fame playing a young girl who disguises herself as a guy in order to attend school in ancient Korea. It is her family's dire circumstances that push her to attend school in order to find work. This whole drama is very Jupiter coded and the majority of the cast have strong Jupiter placements as well.

Her most popular drama is What's Wrong With Secretary Kim where she plays the secretary to a CEO who is almost inept without her micromanaging his life. I've noticed that many Jupiter women tend to be in this position where, in whatever relationship dynamic, others don't know what to do in her absence because she often single-handedly runs the whole place and makes it look easy and only in her absence do they realise that its far from easy.

3.Kim Ji-won is Punarvasu moon

One of her best known roles is that of Choi Ae-ra in Fight My Way, which I would say is a very typical Punarvasu character. Punarvasu's enthusiasm, almost childlike behaviour and charm can fit the description of a quintessential Asian romcom protagonist and Choi Ae-ra is a very good example of the same. Her rise from the bottom rung of the ladder to working hard to get where she is, is also a very Jupiterean tale (since Jupiter moon natives go through their Saturn mahadasha as young adults).

4.Kim Go-eun has Punarvasu mercury & ketu

Kim Go-eun's first ever starring role was as Eungyo in the movie of the same name.

It is the story of a teenage girl who becomes the object of desire for a 70yr old poet. The movie is very Punarvasu coded imo. In fact, regarding her casting, the novelist, whose book was adapted to the film, had this to say:

"She was perfect for the forever virgin and forever young image that Eun-gyo symbolizes."

This is literally the embodiment of Punarvasu energy which makes the native simultaneously sensual and innocent.

5. Gong Hyo Jin has Vishaka moon atmakaraka and mercury in Purvabhadrapada amatyakaraka

Her character in When the Camellia Blooms is very Jupiter coded. Jupiter energy can often be manifest as a kind of innocence and naivete and a tendency to be a goody two-shoes.

6.Shin Min-ah has Saturn in Vishaka as amatyakaraka

Her most well known role would be that of a doctor in Hometown Cha Cha Cha, in which she plays a person who refuses to compromise on her principles/ethics to get ahead in her career and has to end up leaving Seoul for a small town. This is again, very Jupiter coded because Jupiter influence makes natives very righteous and possess a strong sense of integrity.

7.Han So hee is Vishaka sun

She was recently in an MV for Jungkook's song 'Seven' which features a quarrelling couple. I've often noticed that with many famous Vishaka women, fighting with their partner, often publicly seems to become attached to their public image. This could also apply to their relationships becoming controversial in general. Miley Cyrus, Beyonce, Katy Perry, Lana Del Rey, Jennie etc all have their luminaries in Vishaka with the exception of Lana who has a Vishaka stellium and they've all had relationship drama that caught public attention in a major way.

The role that catapulted Han So Hee to fame was that of a married man's mistress in the drama The World of the Married👀

8. Jung So-min has Purvabhadrapada Sun & Venus (atmakaraka), Punarvasu Moon (amatyakaraka)

in Because This Is My First Life, she plays a broke writer who despite being a good daughter is not appreciated by her family at all, and despite being good at what she does, faces trouble in her workplace and is overall just going through a not so good time . As I've said before, Jupiter natives go through their Saturn Mahadasha as young adults and this phase is a difficult one where they have to work very very hard to get things done and make any kind of progress. Most K-dramas that focus on the adversities of life, as experienced by a 20 something probably has a Jupiter dominant native as its protagonist.

in general, the reason why Jupiter dominant men & women dominate Korean entertainment, be it music or dramas, is because of the kind of content that Korean entertainment focuses on and the kind of people that the Korean public chooses to support. K-Dramas are known for their complex plots, often focusing on people at conflict with their values and ideas, struggling with their conscience, facing life's challenges and overcoming adversity; class struggles, portrayal of wealth/lack of it, rising to the top, underdogs emerging as winners etc. These are inherently Jupiterean.

Even with Korean music, it has a unique system in place where idols have to "train" for several years before they make their debut. Being hardworking and being an "ace" who excels in several areas is prided on in Korea; in such a culture, it makes sense why Jupiter dominants emerge as the ones on the very top of the food chain.

Now, we'll talk about some male actors😋😌

Lee Minho has Mars in Punarvasu & Mercury in Punarvasu (his atmakaraka & amatyakaraka)

Honestly, his entire filmography is very Jupiter coded 🤣 The role that made him a household name was that of rich, spoilt heir to an immensely wealthy family who is the most popular guy in school and leader of his rat pack.

His most successful role is that of a King in the drama The King: Eternal Monarch which is about an ancient Korean emperor who time travels through a portal into modern-day Korea. Both the fact that he's playing nobility as well as the fact that the drama features time travel/alternate reality esque things makes it VERY Punarvasu coded.

(Punarvasu's element is ether and its deity Goddess Aditi is the Mother Goddess and creator the universe itself, many time travel/movies about the nature of reality feature Jupiter natives)

The drama co-stars Kim Go-Eun, who I have already mentioned above as a Punarvasu girlie🥰

2. Gong Yoo is Punarvasu sun (amatyakaraka)

He starred in the movie "Silenced" which was based on a horrifying true story where he plays a teacher at a school who tries to stand up for and protect differently abled children who are routinely subject to extremely cruel and abusive treatment at a boarding school.

Punarvasu natives are known for standing up for others, especially those who do not have a voice/who are unable to stand up for themselves. These natives have a strong sense of justice and empathy and do not think twice about questioning authority.

His character in Coffee Prince is one which made him a household name and in this drama, he plays a chaebol heir who falls for a young guy who is actually a woman disguising herself as a guy 💀I feel like Jupiter men have at least one movie/show in their filmography that is very queer coded (ex: Keanu Reeves, Punarvasu Moon with My Own Private Idaho)

His most well known character is that of Goblin in the drama of the same name, where he plays an immortal who seeks salvation. Very Punarvasu coded.

This is just a personal observation but I've noticed how many Punarvasu men have an androgynous vibe 🥵

3.Kim Woo Bin is Punarvasu sun (atmakaraka) and mercury

His breakout role was that of a wealthy chaebol heir in the drama, The Heirs.

Playing the CEO's son or the CEO, who is initially arrogant and then faces different trials and tribulations and ultimately redeems himself is a common Kdrama trope and I've noticed that the actors picked for these parts the most tend to be Jupiter-dominant.

4.Song Joong Ki has Vishaka moon & saturn (his atmakaraka)

Vishaka is a rakshasa gana nakshatra and I'd previously observed how many mafia movies feature rakshasa gana natives as the main leads. Joong-ki's Vincenzo sees him play a mafia lawyer.

His character is Arthdal Chronicles (featuring fellow Jupiter girlie, Kim Ji Won) is also very Jupiter coded. Its about the birth of civilization and life in the ancient world. Joong Ki plays the leader of his clan.

5.Park Seo Joon has Purvabhadrapada moon (his amatyakaraka)

He is one of those actors who plays himself in every show/movie he does. This means all his characters are charming, slightly awkward or a little dumb, but good natured and caring individuals who go above and beyond for others. This is like a quintessential Jupiter man trope.

Especially his character in Fight My Way, is VERY Jupiter coded and features fellow Jupiter native, Kim Ji-Won.

A slightly stupid but endearingly adorkable guy who works a low end job and trains to be a boxer whilst looking out for his friends and loved ones? Especially his whole side arc with his ex gf on the show is such a Jupiter guy thing; to forgive a woman and be there for her even though she never cared for him and only kept him around because he was sooo nice to her and did everything for her. I've seen this happen with many Jupiter guys because as Claire said in her video these are the nice guys who women keep in the friend zone because even though they're perfect and extremely courteous, women don't feel like they could be a serious partner.

His character in Itaewon Class explores Jupiter in a different way. He is a struggling businessman who is engaged in a long drawn out battle with a chaebol and finally emerges victorious in the end. Despite the chaebol's petty and below the belt tactics, Seo-joon's character always took the high road and held on to his principles and conducted himself with integrity. Jupiter natives are almost always destined to be the bigger person.

6.Park Bogum has Mercury in Punarvasu as his atmakaraka

He rose to fame for playing a motherless prodigy on Reply 1988. His character was a typical Jupiter one; he's very talented, successful and recognised for the same but he takes no pleasure in it and does not really indulge in the privileges it offers him.

His most famous role would be that of a Prince who falls in love with his eunuch (who is actually just a woman pretending to be a eunuch) in the drama Love in the Moonlight. Like I said before, Jupiter guys have at least one queer coded project in their filmography lol.

7.Park Hyung shik has Sun & Mars in Vishaka (his atmakaraka & amatyakaraka)

His most famous role is that of a CEO in the drama Strong Girl Bong Soon.

8.Yoo Ah In has Venus in Vishaka as his atmakaraka and Jupiter in Purvabhadrapada as his amatyakaraka

His character in the movie Burning represents the dark side of Jupiter men.

His drama Chicago Typewriter features him reincarnating in present day Korea after initially living in the 1930s.

Jupiter influence is visible in movies/shows that have tropes of alternate reality, reincarnation, time travel etc.

are you watching one piece in english or japanese? either choice is excellent, im just curious!

I’ve been going back and forth! English dub for when I’m drawing while watching and can’t look up frequently to read the subtitles, and Japanese audio for when I’m just chilling and can look at the screen for a whole episode.

I was curious about which terms and place names and stuff in the show might have been translated from original Japanese words into English terms for the translation, and which were always katakana transliterations of non-Japanese words, so it’s been neat to compare the original audio and the dub that way. Like “fishman” in the Japanese audio is 魚人, gyo-jin, literally “fish man/person”, which is cool.

Saga: Release - 14

Writer: Akira

Season: Spring

Characters: Tori, Chiaki, Seiya, Jin, Hokuto

Proofreading: 310mc (JP) & Peace (ENG)

Translation: kotofucius

Seiya: Idols have such a deep yet comprehensive job, you see; and a fun one you may never master unless you were God.

Location: Mall 1st Floor

Tori: (Alright! I know you’re kind of fried, Tori, but you’ve got this!)

Chiaki: Exactly! You’ve got this, you’ve got this! You can see this through for sure, Himemiya! ☆

Tori: Can you please not read my mind, Morisawa-senpai!?

(…Well, to be fair, I’m also getting the hang of reading their thoughts after working with them for a while, I guess.)

(Even though I haven’t gotten to that point in fine…)

(I wonder if I wasn’t suitable for fine, after all…)

(I got into fine just based on my admiration, without even being sure if it suited me or not.)

(But maybe nobody wanted it—maybe… that was actually the roundabout detour instead.)

(No, don’t start feeling gloomy, Tori! What’s wrong with wanting to be part of what I admired? I’ve realized my dream and achieved my ideal life; what’s there to be anxious about?)

(Yeah! Some of the long-time fine fans also came to this event and told me they envied me.)

(It seems I was famous among fine fans, surprisingly—)

(They all told me I was amazing for realizing my dream to become a member of fine, that they’re rooting for me…)

(It looks like they were as anxious as I was about the previous members breaking up…)

(But it’s okay! There are as many idols in this world as there are stars in the sky — but I don’t regret picking fine among all of them, and I’ll make sure you don’t either!)

(I’ll use my experience as Rain-bows as nourishment and become stronger! I’ll bring fine to even greater heights, to the summit of this world!)

(So don’t take your eyes off me! I’ll do my best, so keep supporting me with a smile if you can…♪)

Seiya: Of course. I’m good at smiling — because I’m an idol.

Tori: Gyo!? Eh!? —Huh? Did I say that out loud?

Seiya: Oh, no. But young people are very easy to read.

Tori: Umm… Ah, I’m so sorry for spacing out! I’ll start writing the autograph~ What’s your name?

Seiya: Ah, yes. Haha, this is quite refreshing.

Will you please sign it for “Hidaka Seiya”? My given name aside, my surname might be rare and hard to write.

Ah, wait—you are a teammate of my son’s. Maybe you already have an idea how to write it.

Tori: Uh… huh? Your son? Hidaka? Wait, could you be Hidaka-senpai’s…?

Jin: Oi, what’s wrong, Himemiya? Tired already? There’s just a bit more ‘til the fansign session ends, so stay focused ‘til the la—

Jin: UWAAAGH!?

Seiya: Ahaha. Jin-kun, an idol mustn’t be saying something like “uwaaagh”.

Jin: Seiya-san!? Wha—! Wh-wh-what are you doing at this kind of place…!? Oi, Hidaka! What’s going on here!?

Hokuto: W-What is it, Sensei? It’s not like you to be so fluste—

Hokuto: GEEEH!?

Seiya: Well, you’re another letdown, Hocchan. How disgraceful — I don’t remember raising a child who would let out such a boorish voice.

Hokuto: I don’t remember actually being raised by you! What are you doing here, Father!?

Tori: Ah, so he’s really Hidaka-senpai’s dad? You two do kinda look alike, now that I see you together ♪

But anyway. Umm, what’s wrong with you, Sensei, Hidaka-senpai? Why are you making that kind of face? You’re in the presence of our fans, you know~?

Chiaki: What’s wrong, what’s wrong?

OOH! It’s really Hidaka Seiya! The real thing! This is my first time witnessing him with my own two eyes! Whoa, he has the same face as I saw on TV! Obviously, but still!

Tori: T-The real thing? What, are there fakes of him? Hey, why are you guys in such panic?

Chiaki: Hmm. Right, you don’t know much about idols outside of fine, huh, Himemiya?

But if you’re working in the idol industry, you must’ve heard of his name at least once, right?

Seiya: Oh no, it’s just natural for the younger generation to not know me. My golden age is long past, and once the era changes, I’m as good as a nameless new face.

Jin: No no, if Hidaka Seiya is a nameless new face, then what are we? Insects?

Tori: Hidaka Seiya… Ah, right, Hidaka-senpai’s dad was a legendary idol, wasn’t he?

That’s why everybody calls you “a thoroughbred of the entertainment world”, right, Senpai?

(I see, this person is… a super idol. Probably the only one of them to survive to this day.)

Hokuto: …….

Tori: Senpai? What’s wrong, really? You look terrible… Are you okay?

Hokuto: …Why did you come here, Father?

Seiya: Why, you ask? Well, I didn’t intend to cause such a ruckus, honestly.

I came for a different matter, but I happened to overhear that you’re holding a fansign event, Hocchan.

I was just thinking that I haven’t seen my son’s face in a while…

And I have an interest in the kind of things idols these days are doing, so I dropped by out of whim.

I’ve no intention to be in your way, so please, pay me no mind. It might come off as an excuse to you — but I hadn’t meant this as anything more than a little parental visit.

Hokuto: ……

Seiya: Haha, it seems I’ve interrupted your event. I did all I could to erase my aura and act like another passer-by, so…

I can’t have a commotion breaking out. I'll be excusing myself.

Aah, you… Will you finish that autograph, please?

Tori: Ah, okay! Umm, Hidaka… Seiya-san… How is “Seiya” written? Like Christmas Eve, with “sei” for holy and “ya” for night, Seiya?

Seiya: Ahaha, that would’ve been wonderful. Unfortunately, it’s “sei” like the character in the Shinsengumi banner and “ya” as in the weapon arrow.[1]

Tori: T-That’s a pretty threatening name, huh…?

Seiya: Yes. It’s quite strange… They say names and natures often agree, but I’m personally not fond of conflict.

As for Hocchan — I pray that you’ll become a guidepost for everybody, like your namesake the Big Dipper.

Hokuto: …Just pray?

Seiya: Yes. My wife may think differently, but it’s your life.

It should be enough for your parents to meddle with your life and teach you how to walk only while you're an infant, yes?

If you need me to hold and coddle you, then tell me directly. I will do as you wish me to — given the proper payment.

As long as it’s work, I will make sure to perform it perfectly.

Hokuto: ……

Seiya: Ah. It seems I really am holding up everyone here… Thank you for your autograph; I will have this and call it a day, then.

Do your best with your idol work, Hocchan. The same goes to Jin-kun, and the rest of you, too.

Idols have such a deep, boundless job, you see; and a fun one you may never manage to master unless you were God.

The kanji Tori guessed would be 聖夜, whereas the real spelling is 誠矢

Homemade Love Story. 8

Story: 8

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10

Comparable to: Beautiful Love, Wonderful Life (kdrama), My Only One (kdrama)

It’s a long one. Long long long. Depending on where you watch it, 100 episodes 35 minutes long or 50 episodes 1 hour long. Honestly there was a lot that could’ve been edited down or completely edited out. Especially with the last handful of episodes they stretch it out to the point I was fast forwarding through a lot. Despite all that, this is really an excellent family melodrama. The storylines of every character is really well written and developed. Loved everything, from the dysfunctional family dynamics to each couple getting together.

Parasite -Decoding & Deconstructing

Released in 2019, Parasite is a film by director Bong Joon-ho that deals with the issues between the poor and the rich people in society. It is more like a smaller version of South Korea, conveying the stereotype that the rich are happy and the poor are always unhappy. The actors in the film are perfect, but the director put the plot into a movie full of holes. To express and show the problem, it is an ideal commercial film, but it does not reflect the real social issues and is not worth more analysis and reflection. Generally speaking, for a movie with a strong story, there is a minimum requirement for the plot development to conform to the basic logic. Of course, some degree of factual and logical sacrifice is necessary for theme expression and dramatic effect. But this sacrifice of the actual parasite plot does not achieve the same thematic expression effect, which is empty.

First, arranging four family members into the wealthy family, which takes up the first 1/3 of the film, is very dramatic and does not go smoothly with common sense. Suppose the director asked Choi Woo-Sik for a job interview on the first day and suggested that a clip of his sister Kim Ki-Jung would show the character's ingenuity. (19:45 -- 20:37) In the latter part, the director arranged all the members of the Kim family into the Park family was too deliberate. Although the director uses this plot to express the unfairness of wealth and status in the character of the rich who are "naive" and "easy to fool," Bong Joon-ho forgot that the art of cinema comes from the reality of life, above life. This has wholly ignored the plot elements that can foreshadow a character.

If the Kim family moving smoothly into the mansion is necessary for the development of the plot, then they can also be unobtrusively qualified for the work of the mansion; it seems too false and strange. First, being a nanny and a driver for a wealthy family is not a simple job, especially for Gook Moon-gwang nanny, who had worked for years under a former builder before getting used to it. Apart from the work content, the nanny's mannerisms and appearance are entirely different from those of the old couple living in the slum environment. From 50:30-52:00, the director asked Jang Hye-jin to play the role of the nanny, and it can be seen that she was able to do the job very quickly. Then, of course, to convince the audience of the Kim family s deceitful tactics and loopholes, the director features Choi Woo-Sik rehearsing at home (42:00-43:01) and questioning the taste of Jang Hye-jin and Kim Ki-taek with the Park family s son. However, these passages are illogical and undermine the legitimacy of the characters. Let the wealthy family's "easy to fool" side becomes "stupid"; the poor become "Superman."

The screenwriter and director do not understand the appearance of the actual poor and the real rich, divorced from the background of the time to show the characters, will become an artistic puppet that overhead reality. The rich man in the film does not look like the rich man, although the director does not set the image of the successor of the chaebol status or a man born with a silver spoon but is a company boss. Because , the director sets the level of a successful person to be inferior to that of a chauffeur, making people think Park's family got rich by lottery. For example, in the clip (48:00-50:30), Kim Ki-taek made Park Dong-ik and Choi Yeon-gyo believe their fake company, The Care, by using fake business cards to make his wife become the nanny of the Park family. The Park family quickly believed them and did not investigate the company. The rich image played by Lee Sun-kyun is untenable after such content development. Just imagine which wealthy company boss can easily trust others to recommend the company; capitalists rely on exploitation that also has to be social elite. The director does not pave the way for this unexplained plot, nor does he explain the follow-up. Although Bong wanted to use such stories to construct the differences and a follow-up story about the development of parasitic behaviors between the rich and the poor, his characterization was always on the surface. It cannot convince the audience that this is real life. In the movie, the director made Choi Woo-sik and Park So-dam's poor family characters not look even poor. Society has different kinds of poor families because they may have no ability and no chance to get work, but the director only created the poor family with a thoughtful mind, quick-witted, capable of faking and deceiving and planning out the proper lines in advance. For such a family, it would be completely impractical for the director to let them live in a semi-basement setting. If the family's personality is based on reality, it's more likely that viewers will believe that they've already cheated their way to little success.

In addition, on a rainy night of camping, the Kim family occupied the host's house but suddenly encountered a visit from Gook Moon-gwang. Gook Moon-gwang's husband had been hiding in the basement of the house. Both families lived tough, and both think each other is a good person just because of poverty, so there is no surplus sympathy to share with others. They also believe that if they are rich like the Park family, they will naturally live sincerely and kindly. (1:02:55 -- 1:09:17) The director is trying to say that poverty is the reason for them or that poverty is the reason for the original sin. To maintain the most basic survival needs, people can break all moral bottom lines and harm others. But why poor? The director didn't expand the content and touch on fundamental reasons. Gook Moon-gwang's family owes money to loan sharks because her husband failed in business. The Kim family doesn't take things seriously on the job. Here, the director's explanation of the social government is absent. The Park family's rich and the Kim family's poor have also become synonymous with good and evil. The conclusion that rich people tend to be good should be based on the premise that everyone has the same moral height, regardless of the rich and poor. However, the movie does not describe the story of the characters played by Lee Sun-Kyun and Cho Yeo-Jeong, but highlights the characteristics of being easy to deceive. The Kim family always wants more after work by cheating. Gook Moon-gwang's husband even thinks life in the villa's basement is so good that he can always live there. Compared with the generosity of the Park family, the director's plot expression made the poor people deprived of even the people's eyes of sympathy.

It would be impossible if the director did not think to express the difference between the poor and the rich, the rich despise the poor. On the contrary, the director is very self-centered in his expression. For example, "smell" is his focus in this film. In the story, the Kim family has many poor appearance plots and loopholes as they become fake rich workers, but the director would not make the Park family notice. Instead, he uses "smell" as a metaphor to make Park feel the taste of the poor. Of course, there's no problem with "smell" as a cinematic metaphor, but he mistakenly deliberately highlights it so that this element is overused and boring. The director was afraid that the audience could not see what he wanted to express, and he let Lee Sun-Kyun repeatedly say it from beginning to end, regardless of whether it was reasonable. It seems that whenever the director thinks it's time for a "smell" to appear, it should. As for what reason it occurs, no one knows. For example, it's understandable that the killer escapes from the basement and is filled with hatred to seek revenge on the main character's family. The killer stabbed So-dam Park's Kim Ki-Jung because he saw her in the first spot, which is also understandable. However, the problem came when Park Dong-ik picked up the car keys from underneath the killer after he got killed in reverse. (1:52:50-1:55:50) This time, the appearance of the smell is straightforward, as if all the previous preparation is for this moment; all smells created are meant to rationalize Park Dong-ik's killing. The director thoughtfully clarifies Kim's father's "bad" charges, even not evil people into bad ones.

The climax of the conflict that the director has to create when he starts the story but cannot solve the ending. The same goes for the movie ending (1:55:56-1:58:47), where the director keeps the people he needs and cuts out the characters he feels he can't reasonably explain. An inexplicable appearance at the scene of the criminal, the reporter only said "a homeless death" as the result of the investigation; After Kim killed Park and disappeared from the house, the police did not investigate the house and concluded the investigation with the verdict of "Kim Ki-taek is missing." These are places where the ending of the movie doesn't make sense. But the director doesn't seem to care because he only wants to express this parasitic problem of poverty and wealth that can never break through through Kim, who stays in the basement and writes letters, and Kim's son, who gets letters outside. Kim Ki-taek does not know when her son will see the signal but types Morse code once a day (1:59:20 -- 2:04:06). As you can see, the light flash is visible outside but also inside the house. The director doesn't explain whether the Germans will find out about the ending.

As a drama with the gap between the rich and the poor as the main contradiction, it leads to the intensification of the contradiction in reality, and brings a kind of impersonal negative feeling of "yes, life is like this". As a purely entertaining commercial film, it kind of passes, but as a film that provokes human reflection, it does not make any sense, and even has the opposite effect.
