What’s Motel California Kdrama About?
The drama follows Ji Kang Hee (played by Lee Se-young), who grew up in a small-town motel called Motel California. Life wasn’t exactly a fairytale for her, so she left home 12 years ago to chase her dreams of independence and success.
But fate has other plans. Ji Kang Hee is forced to return to her hometown, where memories of her past, and her first love, Cheon Yeon Soo (played by Na In-woo), still linger. Yeon Soo, now the town’s beloved veterinarian, has never really moved on. You can already feel the emotional tension, right?
The story promises to be an emotional rollercoaster about finding closure, confronting old wounds, and rediscovering what “home” really means.
