.” Based on the novel “Home, Bitter Home” by Shim Yun Seo, “Motel California” tells the bittersweet story of a woman who leaves her home for Seoul to find herself, only to return 10 years later and discover she’s right back where she started.The opening scene of “Motel California” sets the stage for our female lead Ji Kang Hee . In a flashback, we see a young Kang Hee standing in a forest, staring up at the gloomy gray sky as children around her chant, “She’s a mutt,” over and over like a curse.
Yet Kang Hee’s deep-seated insecurities are evident. She’s so self-conscious that she won’t let Cheon Yeon Soo see her naked with his glasses on, despite having been intimate with each other. This highlights how body image issues often stem less from appearance and more from the psychological scars inflicted by others’ judgments.
After their shared intimate moment where Kang Hee tells Yeon Soo she wants to be his first, it’s clear she loves him. While he remains somewhat oblivious, Kang Hee is aware of her feelings for him. Yet, she leaves for Seoul, vowing never to return to her hometown. Unfortunately, the Seoul she dreamed of doesn’t welcome her as she’d hoped.
