I tried 3 times, but I can't do it. If the movie is subtitled, I might as well wait for a novelization. I want to watch a movie, not read it.

I liked a lot of things! I liked that the title, on a surface level, is about the poor family doing scummy things so they could leech off the rich family. I liked the reversal later that the rich family was the ones leeching off the poor's labor for very little in return. I liked the two poor families fighting against each other when they should have found a way to work together. I liked that the rain devastated the poor, while it was a minor inconvenience to the rich (and even called a blessing the next day). I liked that the daughter, who was the closest to upward mobility, was killed for it (that scene was incredibly shot, especially with the rich boy right behind her also falling, despite not being touched at all, reiterating the idea that tragic events affect rich and poor differently). I liked that the poor son dreamt about moving upwards and buying the home to free his dad, but we know it will never happen (it's sad, but feels very true).
