MBC‘s new Friday-Saturday drama ‘Motel California’ has released a Christmas special teaser video.

MBC’s new Friday-Saturday drama ‘Motel California’ (planned by Jang Jae-hoon/directed by Kim Hyung-min, Lee Jae-jin/written by Lee Seo-yoon), which is scheduled to premiere on Friday, January 10th next year, is a first love remodeling romance about a woman who was born and raised in a motel in the countryside and reunites with her first love in her hometown she ran away from 12 years ago. Based on the popular novel ‘Home, Bitter Home’ by Sim Yoon-seo in 2019, it is garnering attention with its solid lineup of actors including Lee Se-young (as Ji Kang-hee), Na In-woo (as Cheon Yeon-soo), and the seasoned ‘irreplaceable’ actor, Choi Min-soo (as Ji Chun-pil).

Among them, ‘Motel California’ released a special teaser to celebrate Christmas on the 25th. The video begins with the ‘Hana-eup’ people throwing a party in the lobby of Motel California, livening up the excitement of the viewers. At this time, the fact that the song they are singing is not a Christmas carol but a ‘Happy Birthday Song’ catches the eye, and it is soon revealed that Chun-pil and Kang-hee‘s birthdays are both ‘December 25th’, increasing interest. Along with this, Chun-pil, who is very excited to celebrate his Christmas birthday, and Kang-hee, who is not fond of such Chun-pil, make people laugh.

The sweet moments of the couple Kang-hee and Yeon-soo on Christmas attract attention. Yeon-soo transforms into a ‘giant Santa’ just for Kang-hee, and makes people smile with her innocent confession mixed with charm, “Because I like you! I’ve always liked you”. Along with this, the pink moments of Kang-hee and Yeon-soo continue, stimulating excitement to the fullest. Along with this, the sight of Kang-hee and Yeon-soo sitting side by side on the same bed and engaging in a lovey-dovey act, and Chun-pil‘s irresistible advice of “Daughter, make sure to use contraception~” add to the laughter.

MBC’s new Friday-Saturday drama ‘Motel California’ will first air on January 10, 2025 (Friday) at 9:50 PM.
