Poster for the movie Reverse Life
It’s a Chinese movie.
First of all, I am a native Korean -_-;; (No misunderstanding)
There is nothing unique about Chinese movies.
If it was a Chinese soup movie, I would have left right away.
Surprisingly very realistic
Even though it’s a Chinese movie, I feel like it’s worth watching and I recommend it.
In the movie review video
There is a comment like this

You need to know the background of this movie.
As youth employment in China became more serious in 2018,
Even if the Chinese government is a delivery business
Encourage them to get a job. At that time, a delivery worker called “Delivery King” certified on social media that he was earning a high income, which became a huge issue and everyone jumped into the delivery business. As a result, competition among delivery workers has intensified, and delivery platforms have begun to exploit delivery workers. As delivery platforms set delivery time limits to attract customers and do business under the belief that the customer is superior, delivery workers are perceived by Chinese people as someone who can be abused by superiors, and there was even a recent incident in Shanghai where a customer knelt down and assaulted a delivery worker. As this happened, delivery workers even started a riot as a group. This movie came out during that period. You can empathize more if you know some background about the Chinese situation.

I’m an expatriate living in Shanghai. Unlike Japan, Koreans don’t know much about China’s reality. We barely made it to the middle-income level.
It has completely collapsed over the past five years. Even if you graduate from a top university, you still have to do delivery work, and even if you get an office job, you’ll be lucky if you get paid 1 million won a month.
My salary has gone down further than it was 10 years ago. It’s been a long time since all foreign companies closed or downsized.
Korean companies like us use a lot of Korean-Chinese people because of the language.
I work hard to avoid getting fired.
In the past, there were many Korean companies, so I went to places that paid higher salaries.
Now China is in the worst hell since reform and opening up.
There are people who compare developed countries such as Japan or Korea with China.
Shanghai alone, the richest city in China, has an average GDP per capita of less than half of Korea’s total.
In Korea, the difference in GDP between cities is very small, but here, even if you go to the countryside,
It is an underdeveloped country, no different from Southeast Asia, where it is difficult to receive 200,000 won and there is no social security at all.

The movie was really well made… It was like watching a documentary…
A family in Shanghai and its delivery workers were portrayed well. The main character’s university is Tongji University.
985 University in Shanghai Sky of Korea.
In China, programmers are taking early retirement and working all night long.
There is a ByteDance company building in the neighborhood.
In this building, the lights in the entire building do not turn off even after 9 p.m.
I know that the main character actor is also from Shanghai…
There are many people who want to send their children to international schools in Shanghai.. A good representation of reality..
Meanwhile, the group on the other side is ordering and having a party… It looks like they’re watching a documentary…
