Homelessness in Dramaland

One of the protagonists (Takeshi) is homeless and agrees to be the other protagonist's (Sumire) pet so he can live with her.

• Story spark

• Story spark

Chihiro is chronically(?) homeless until he moves in with Haoren, who has an unstable home life (keeps needing to move into somewhere else)

• Story spark

The ML pretends to be a homeless beggar in the beginning of the story. There is also the beggar guild, which seems to be made up of people without homes. 

(Please note: the Beggar Guild is a wuxia trope of the jianghu setting. Beggar Guilds can be found in many different stories including the OG Demi-gods and the Semi-Devils, though the extent of homelessness within the guild is not always clear or consistent across its many representations in dramaland)

The lead loses his family and ends up homeless (iirc) before getting taken in by a peking opera troupe in the beginning of the story. 

There is a supporting character who is without a home. Chihiro takes him into her home, but he does not stay long. Eventually he ends up squatting in an abandoned building before passing away. 

The second lead is between homes, often staying over with someone he knows instead of having his own stable place to live. By the end of the show he has moved to another town to further his education but the state of his housing isn't explained. 

The FL spends a few episodes being homeless after she runs away from her abusive relationship with her husband and in-laws. She flees to a city and ends up squatting a run-down house while trying to find work as an undocumented person. This is very difficult and she ends up in a predatory work environment because of it. Eventually, she gets someone to forge documents for her and establishes her own business. Once she's saved up enough money, she buys a plot of land, and eventually a shop.

While one of the leads does have an apartment he belongs to, the home he lives in is unsafe and he often ends up sleeping in parks to avoid being abused. He also sometimes sleeps over at his friends place for the same reason.
