Dec 10, 2024

MBC’s upcoming drama “Motel California” has released new teasers that tug at viewers’ heartstrings!

“Motel California” is a romance drama written by Lee Seo Yoon and directed by Jang Joon Ho and Kim Hyung Min. It is based on Shim Yoon Seo’s 2019 novel “Home, Bitter Home” (literal title). The story follows Ji Gang Hui (Lee Se Young) who grows up in a rural motel called Motel California. After escaping her hometown, she returns 12 years later to reconnect with her first love and childhood friend Cheon Yeon Su (Na In Woo) and face new challenges.

The first teaser below reveals Cheon Yeon Su’s pure-hearted devotion and lingering feelings for Ji Gang Hui, stirring viewers’ emotions. Yeon Su, who appears in front of Gang Hui with a changed appearance, confesses his feelings for her, saying, “I’ll gain weight. I’ll wear glasses again. And I’ll eat the first snow more than ten times.” He then asks her, “So, can I come see you now?” causing Gang Hui to shed heavy tears.

In the second teaser, Gang Hui tells Yeon Su, “I told you not to lose weight. I told you not to take off your glasses in front of others,” showing a mix of resentment and endearing complaints, which reveal her affection for Yeon Su. However, Gang Hui coldly walks away from Yeon Su, evoking a sense of sadness. Viewers are left curious to find out what kind of past the two shared and whether their reunion can defy the age-old adage, “First love does not come about.”
