《Parasite》

Have you ever thought that even a smell can become a label marking social classes? Or have you considered that your carefully crafted life plans could, in a single moment, be completely destroyed by an unexpected downpour? 

In this episode, we want to discuss the Korean film that made history at the Oscars—Parasite. It’s not just a curious story about how a poor family ‘parasitizes’ a wealthy family, but also a sharp social microscope that brutally exposes the class divides and human struggles we often shy away from facing. 
Let’s start from that meticulously designed mansion, take in the complex ‘scent’ lingering in the air, and examine the ‘scholar’s rock’ that carries both hope and destruction—all while rethinking the relationship between plans and life.
Core Highlights 
The inescapable ‘smell’: When poverty becomes an original sin, just how insurmountable is the invisible line dividing social classes?
The best plan is no plan: Is this a life philosophy or the helpless cry of those at the bottom of society?
A crazy rock: From a symbol of hope to a dangerous weapon, how does it metaphorically reflect the burdens of desire within each of us?
