So I was going to recommend Ирония Судьбы (The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath) as an example of a working class romantic movie… but then I realized the setting is probably nicer than the studio-apartments that working class people have in the west.

Thanks. Gonna check it out.
Another one I’d recommend is Comrades, almost a love story. The couple meets when one is fresh of the boat in HK (hence the comrades title) and the other is working at mcdonalds.
