I clearly don't follow the trend !!

I often watch Korean movies, and they do have a style that is proper to them. I really appreciate what the Korean artists try out with the cinematographic art.
This movie has created a lot of hype in the industry ... even got an Oscar ; by watching the cover and the title, i didn't want to watch this movie. But then it got recommended by a very close friend of mine (who's working in Korean affairs). I gave it a shot ... and ... i was right ; ... i didn't like this movie.
To me, i didn't find the "humour" amusing (although quite a lot of Korean movies are really good with humour).
The story itself was pathetic (however that is the point with a title like "Parasite").
The end (which for me started at the point they were getting hammered) was overly long and messy.
All that being said though, the actors are really good ; the screenplay is most times well done (although too many close ups) ; but frankly ... it is overhyped.
I think this movie responds more to those being bourgeois.
