Took me a while but I finally managed to give it a watch.
Honestly it's a remarkable film and very well shot.
But yeah, about the ending.
The director explained before that Ki-Woo will never be able to buy the house because from the raw calculation of his annual pay, it'll take him 564 years to afford it.
The entire poor family would've died several lives over of old age before that happens.
A cruel calculation, but they did the math anyway, and if anything it just highlights how unattainable the plan is.
Thus back to the whole "the best plan is no plan at all" thing, because this plan is just one of many that's doomed to fail before it starts.
The guy playing as Ki-Woo, however, is hopeful that he'll find a way around it to free his dad besides hard working.
But honestly, one way or another his dad will be prosecuted for his murder crimes.
It's ironic really. In efforts to avoid an imprisonment from the legal system, he has effectively imprisoned himself under that bunker living like a roach. Or a parasite, in this case.
