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.
