Feels like every main character or their family member has a massive debt they need to pay off.

Like is that a regular thing there?

the poor korean girl gets accepted to a prestigious school and has some beef with the hottest guy in school, then at the end of the day it turns out the hottest guy in school she hates is actually her new roommate! they do their best to keep it a secret that they live together! however, rumors start spreading when people seeing them walk to school together. also there's a scene where they walk in each other naked

Much more realistic than the related "My mom is in a coma and it costs 1 billion won to cure her."

A korean drama where a girl is being sold as a slave and is bought by a rich guy that fell in love with her. However once he purchases her he has no idea how to express his feelings for her. somehow this is a comedy about a guy that doesn't know how to act like a boyfriend to his slave.

socio-economic commentary might be a big thing with their media.

Parasite ended up catching a lot of people's attention.
