Actors Lee Se-young and Na In-woo displayed contrasting expressions.

On the 3rd, the production team of MBC-TV's new Friday-Saturday drama Motel California (written by Lee Seo-yoon, directed by Kim Hyung-min and Lee Jae-jin) released stills featuring a runaway scene, hinting at someone leaving home.

The stills capture the quiet dawn at Hana-eup's intercity bus stop, where Ji Kang-hee (played by Lee Se-young) and Cheon Yeon-soo (played by Na In-woo) are seen together, with a large bag placed nearby.

A tense atmosphere lingers between them. Kang-hee continuously observes Yeon-soo's demeanor, while Yeon-soo avoids looking at Kang-hee, even as she prepares to leave.

The images pique curiosity about Kang-hee and Yeon-soo's first love story. Why is Kang-hee leaving Hana-eup alone? Why doesn't Yeon-soo follow her?

Motel California is a "first love remodeling romance," portraying a woman who grew up in a rural motel and returns to her hometown 12 years later to reunite with her first love.

Lee Se-young plays Kang-hee, a character who endures a challenging life with the motel as her home. Na In-woo portrays Cheon Yeon-soo, whose daily life changes after reuniting with Kang-hee.

Motel California is set to premiere on the 10th.
