I remember it being under construction for a long stretch during COVID and opening around the end of the pandemic. On weekends this whole Baegun Lake area used to be jammed with cars trying to get in,

so residents who actually live nearby did not dare go. I am not sure whether it is still like that, but when I do go on the odd weekend

there are a lot of families with children, so it gets fairly crowded.

As far as I know, there is hardly any mall of this scale around Uiwang, Anyang, Gwacheon and West Pangyo where you can rest and shop and bring the children — and even the dog — along

nothing like it, as far as I know.

Today I only had to drop off shoes for repair, so I think I can only show you the inside. The ceiling radiates out like that, so it almost feels like being inside a giant birdcage

to the point where I could not tell whether I was the visitor or, the other way around, the bird in the cage.

Honestly, personally I think the interior here at Time Villas is far nicer than Starfield.

When the weather is warm, everyone brings their dogs, so you see a lot of dog strollers too

These are the stairs next to the escalator going up from the GF floor to the 1st floor. When you are tired, it is the perfect spot to sit there and watch people, hehe

And plenty of people really do sit there. It may seem like nothing, but it is not easy to come up with an idea like this in the first place — interior design really does look like a job that needs creativity.

Today I was busy so I decided to take the escalator, haha. On the way up you end up looking at the ceiling again

Maybe because the ceiling is high, the sense of openness is wonderful, and above all those lattice windows — is that what I should call them?

They somehow make me feel like I have walked into an indoor glass conservatory in Europe, which I love, haha

Plants are also well placed here and there exactly where they belong, and above all it is spaaacious — unless it is unusually crowded, people coming and going

never bump into each other, hehe

The 1st floor is FINE VILLE, the young fashion floor. Just as the name says, there are lots of young brands. Besides that there is men’s fashion, international fashion and accessories

The inside of the stores is also far wider and cleaner than at a regular department store, isn’t it?

It is a good place to drop by once when you want to get some air and spend time alone, out of the heat or the cold.

On top of that, parking is free on weekdays!!!! Hehe. That alone is reason enough to visit.

Actually the outdoor Glass Villas is even nicer and there is a lot more to show you, but it was such a cold day and I had to hurry to drop off my shoes, so unfortunately

today I will only show you the inside.

When I go back to pick up the shoes, I will show you the restaurants inside and the outdoor area!!

Before that, those of you who have the time should definitely pay it a visit!! ^^^
