MBC’s upcoming drama “Motel California” has released a new poster ahead of its premiere!
“Motel California” is a romance drama written by Lee Seo Yoon and directed by Jang Joon Ho and Kim Hyeong Min. It is based on Shim Yoon Seo’s 2019 novel “Home, Bitter Home” (literal title). The story follows Ji Kang Hee (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 Soo (Na In Woo) and face new challenges.
In the newly released poster, the four main characters Ji Kang Hee, Cheon Yeon Soo, Geum Seok Kyung (Kim Tae Hyeong), and Yoon Nan Woo (Choi Hee Jin) strike poses, exuding trendy and hip vibes. First, Ji Kang Hee stands out with her bold styling in ripped jeans, piquing curiosity about the confident and daring side of her.
Meanwhile, Cheon Yeon Soo’s dandy and handsome looks highlight his charm as a pure-hearted romantic. The sight of Yeon Soo offering his shoulder to Kang Hee perfectly captures the dynamic between the two, hinting at their mischievous chemistry.
In addition, Geum Seok Kyung and Yoon Nan Woo bring a new layer of tension to the group. Seok Kyung, with his unique sunglasses and confident posture, embodies a bold, go-getter character who stops at nothing to achieve his goals. His personality, which sharply contrasts with Yeon Soo’s, raises the question of whether he will succeed in winning over Kang Hee’s heart.
Lastly, Yoon Nan Woo draws attention with her sophisticated demeanor which reflects both shyness and determination. Viewers are curious to find out why she becomes entangled in a marriage scandal with Yeon Soo.
What is most striking, however, is that the four characters are standing at the entrance of Motel California. The vintage yet stylish atmosphere of Motel California, set against the backdrop of a small rural town, creates a romantic and unique ambiance. The unique setting heightens viewers’ anticipation about the events that will unfold in the special rural motel.
“Motel California” is set to premiere on January 10 at 9:50 p.m. KST. Stay tuned!
