The Kim family is fully unemployed when the eldest son talks his way into a tutoring job with the Parks, a wealthy Seoul household living in an architect-designed house that functions almost as a second character. What follows is a slow-burn infiltration comedy — each family member slipping into the Parks' orbit under a false credential — that Bong Joon Ho runs at a pitch of controlled absurdity before flipping the register entirely. The film is structured as two distinct halves that share almost no tonal DNA, the hinge between them arrived at suddenly enough that the genre you think you're watching quietly ceases to exist.
