Originally by HONG & GilDong (art) and JO & JooHee (story), “Time Share House” tells the story of a lovely young woman Yoon DoAh, who has just landed her dream job as a writer at a broadcasting company and is more than elated to begin a new chapter of her life. Little did she know, her parents are also looking forward to a new beginning because they are getting divorced. Upon finding out that both of her parents have lovers of their own, DoAh decides to find a new place to live. Luckily, she stumbles upon an affordable share house but there’s something off about the place. One of her fellow tenants is Lord Lotus, a Joseon Dynasty scholar from the year 1777 and the other is called Rascal, a prim and proper lovesick “modern boy” from 1930 who thinks he’s the most handsome boy in Gyeongseong (now, Seoul). If that wasn’t strange enough, we have the suspicious landlord who prides himself on running the cheapest share house in all of history. He calls it, the ‘Time Share House’. As DoAh steps into the Time Share House, her fate becomes intertwined with those of the tenants and all of their lives are changed forever. One of the most interesting aspects of the story is the way the four incredible main characters come together, giving us an essence of a historical drama and a modern comedy, all in one. Let’s get to know the webtoon a little more! Scholar Lotus is a little uptight, as expected of a Joseon Lord but he is also caring and courteous. He was advised by a fortune-teller to leave his birthplace and find a house that will protect him. On the other hand, Rascal lives for pleasure and is recklessly indulgent but is free-spirited and means well. He was told by a shaman that if he wishes to live, he must find “that” house. Both were met with our mysterious landlord at the right time in the right place and decided to reside in the Time Share House. Yoon DoAh describes herself as an ordinary person from an ordinary family who will live an ordinary life. However, she is exceptionally talented, her visuals are rather extraordinary and her bright and feisty personality is simply delightful. DoAh’s first day at work is hectic but it brings her satisfaction, which leads to the glint of hope that her life might not be typical after all. She goes home expecting a celebration and a surprise announcement but nothing could have prepared her for her parents’ divorce. Soon, her father leaves to lead his own life and her mother welcomes her new lover in. What’s worse is that her father is in a relationship with her best friend’s mother, which leads to their friendship breaking up. As DoAh hits rock bottom, she dreams of a house, and the next day, she decides to move out. As destiny would have it, she sees a lucrative advertisement for a share house and finally encounters the landlord of the Time Share House. Finally, we have our charming landlord, an otherworldly being who marches to the beat of his own drum. He is determined to bring DoAh in as a tenant and doesn’t quite let his other residents leave either. He is ethereally gorgeous with white hair and clear eyes and goes by the name that best defines him, “Landlord”. In a sense, he knows everything and nothing at the same time. Landlord is protective yet gentle and endearing. His quirks are adorable, to say the least, and it won’t take you long to fall in love with him. You can read the webtoon in English here.
