MBC’s upcoming drama “Motel California” has released a new poster!
“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 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, Kang Hee and Yeon Soo are sitting side by side on the rooftop railing of Motel California. The two gaze in different directions with indifferent facial expressions. Viewers can feel the close yet distant gap between them.
The faded neon sign of Motel California also catches attention. Unlike the typical motels found in rural villages, the sign resembles something you might encounter in the middle of an off-road in actual California, piquing interest about the location. Motel California is not only the place where Kang Hee was born and raised but also one of the sources of her inner wounds.
“Motel California” is set to premiere on January 10 at 9:50 p.m. KST. Check out a teaser here!
