The story follows Ji Kang Hee (Lee Se Young), a woman who grew up in a rural motel named Motel California. After escaping her small-town life at 20, she returns 12 years later, confronting her past and reconnecting with her first love, Cheon Yeon Soo (Na In Woo).
The newly released poster immediately grabs attention with its nostalgic charm. Featuring the antique signboard of Motel California, it embodies the small-town atmosphere where Ji Kang Hee’s story begins.
