The South Korean drama “Motel California,” starring Lee Se Young and Na In Woo, is enjoying a surge in popularity. The seventh episode achieved its highest viewership ratings yet, marking a significant milestone for the series.

Record-Breaking Ratings for “Motel California”

Nielsen Korea reported on February 1, 2025, that “Motel California’s” seventh episode scored a nationwide rating of 6.0% and a metropolitan rating of 6.1%. This represents a personal best for the drama, solidifying its position as the top-rated show in its time slot across all channels. The episode’s most-watched moment, featuring the romantic climax between Kang Hee and Yeon Soo, peaked at an impressive 7.6% rating.

From Friendship to Romance: The Story So Far

The drama follows a woman who returns to her hometown after 12 years. In the previous episode, Ji Kang Hee and Cheon Yeon Soo struggled to define their relationship after a passionate kiss. Their attempt to maintain a platonic friendship was complicated when they coincidentally met on a bus to Seoul. Pretending to be just friends, they enjoyed a “non-date,” but the episode ended with Kang Hee questioning whether friends should kiss, leaving viewers in suspense.

A Budding Romance in Seoul?

The upcoming episode will see Kang Hee and Yeon Soo in Seoul, away from the watchful eyes of their small town. They appear relaxed and happy, enjoying each other’s company like a couple. Their long-standing friendship is evident, but their undeniable chemistry hints at something more. As the tension between friendship and romance intensifies, viewers are eager to see if they will finally give in to their feelings.

“Motel California” is based on Shim Yoon Seo’s 2019 novel Home, Bitter Home. The drama is written by Lee Seo Yoon and directed by Jang Joon Ho and Kim Hyung Min. Episode 8 will be released on February 1, 2025.

Meanwhile, “Love Scout,” another K-drama airing in the same time slot, did not release a new episode due to the Lunar New Year celebrations.
