Apartment (JTBC Drama)

Apartment — '0% Uncollected Debt' Former Boss Runs for Resident Council President

JTBC's weekend drama "Apartment," premiering on July 11th, is neither a gangster drama nor a legal drama. It's a caper comedy centered around the apartment management fee account — a story in which anyone who pays monthly management fees is a party.

Three-Line Summary

Park Hae-kang (Ji Sung), a former boss of the Oasis gang, runs for resident representative council president to take over the apartment's 'blind money'.
The subject is the long-term repair reserve fund (Jangchunggeum) — a life-centric money story entangled with everyone living in the apartment.
As he uncovers corruption, it becomes a human caper where he unexpectedly sides with the residents.

Why the 'Long-Term Repair Reserve Fund'?

The long-term repair reserve fund is money accumulated monthly with management fees to prepare for major repairs such as plumbing, elevators, and exterior walls. The larger the number of households in a complex, the billions of won accumulate in the account, and since its ownership is often ambiguous, it's a frequent subject of corruption news. The drama places this 'blind money within the apartment' as the stakes of the caper. The fact that most viewers actually pay this money every month is the drama's biggest weapon.
