So there is a motel in this story but it’s not located in California. Upcoming MBC romance K-drama Motel California released script reading stills this week with leads Lee Se Young and Na In Woo with second leads Gu Won and Choi Hee Jin based on the novel Home Bitter Home. The leads grew up in this countryside town together until the female lead, who suffered discrimination her whole life, leaves for Seoul to make something of herself. She comes back a decade later to find the male lead a very eligible bachelor who is now a veterinarian. This sounds like Hometown Cha Cha Cha and Welcome to Samdalri and it seems like these return to your roots romance K-dramas come around once a year on the regular.
Now this is an insanely stunning, youthful and talented woman that should have the undeserved hype some be having,she also deserves better costars hoping she gets to work with KSH or even PSJ, she deserves better unlike the mid men she keeps getting paired with. 🙄
Not a fan of Na In-woo, he’s just tall but has no charisma.
I will watch it for Lee Se-young and Choi Min-soo, I just love him!
Looking forward to seeing Choi Minsoo, I’m least excited about Lee Seyoung tbh. In her last few drama’s she hasn’t impressed, something about her facial expression. I’m just getting Park Minyoung vibes with the drama’s she’s doing lately. Also the story line here is such a yawn fest, set in country side with female lead reuniting with male lead, with him being in love with her all time. Agree with Koala, it’s welcome to samdalri all over again.
I don’t think lee seyoung is bad actress, but her recent drama what comes after love has pretty similar premise to this. That one was about meeting her ex when she is going to get married to her fiancee and the story wasn’t so good. This one also don’t sound very interesting
Synopsis doesn’t sound very interesting though I also enjoyed HomeCha and Welcome to Samdalri. I’m curious as to how LSY and Na In-woo would do together. I wish we’d get a drama about the opposite – where someone moves out ot the countryside and after 5 years, realizes that her roots are in the city and she meets a cute city planner on a crowded bus.
I don’t know why I thought this would be a horror comedy about a couple who cannot escape from a motel. The premise sounds so blah.
Agree, I thought it would be horror lol. Or something about hotel business
This looks boring, typical of that genre. The ML is bland too.
The story does sounds bland, but I think I’m gonna watch it since there is choi heejin there. She might become the scene stealer again
