Even just a standard family in South Korea sounds pretty horrible. Very stressful, very little free time. Japan is better, but still not great. Now imagine what happens if the country turns full authoritarian again from that starting point, as is the general tendency in most countries nowadays.
Everything boils down to your economic cohort. Being upper class in Korea and Japan is fantastic. Being upper class in the Philippines is pretty great, all things considered. Just be born rich. Anywhere, really. Even being a rich Ukrainian or Syrian gets you a lot of extra mileage, globally. And the spread between rich and poor in a country like Dubai or South Africa, right now? Astronomical.
It really doesn't sound like the original OP wants to be rich, though. As far as I can tell, their fantasy is to be a regular school kid (obviously Japan being the baseline, on account of including that anime pic and no one in the west (consciously) watching Korean or Chinese anime). I suppose an upper middle class kid in Philippines, Indonesia etc. is probably similar enough to satisfy anon's fantasy. But I think especially in Korea and China, you would actually still be expected to work your ass off in school even if you're rich.
Korean and Chinese anime can be pretty great. Check out Scissor Seven and Lookism
