Motel California, an upcoming South Korean drama, has unveiled a new poster featuring Lee Se Young and Na In Woo. The series is set to premiere in January 2025 and promises an emotionally charged storyline centered around love, loss, and rediscovery.
New Poster Highlights Emotional Tension
On December 13, 2024, the production team released a teaser poster showcasing the lead characters, Ji Kang Hee (played by Lee Se Young) and Cheon Yeon Soo (played by Na In Woo). The poster depicts the pair perched on a rooftop railing, sitting side by side but gazing in opposite directions with detached expressions. This imagery captures both their closeness and the emotional distance between them, hinting at the complex relationship dynamics in the story.
Adding to the visual appeal is the weathered neon sign of Motel California, evoking a rustic charm reminiscent of roadside stops in California. This setting serves as a significant backdrop for the story, symbolizing Kang Hee’s roots and emotional scars.
Adapted from Shim Yoon Seo’s 2019 novel Home, Bitter Home, Motel California follows the journey of Ji Kang Hee, a woman who grew up in a rural village motel. Due to her mixed-race background, Kang Hee endured gossip and discrimination, leaving her hometown at 20 to start a new life in Seoul. Now a successful interior designer, she returns to her hometown after 12 years, revisiting the painful memories she left behind and reconnecting with her first love, Cheon Yeon Soo, who now works as a veterinarian. Despite the passage of time, Yeon Soo’s feelings for Kang Hee remain unchanged, setting the stage for a poignant reunion.
