Lee Se-young‘s anger at Choi Min-soo’s cancer diagnosis + giving up on chemotherapy... Hidden resentment toward Na In-woo (Motel Cali)

Lee Se-young found out about her father Choi Min-soo‘s cancer diagnosis in MBC’s Friday-Saturday drama ‘Motel California’.

In episode 11 of MBC‘s Friday-Saturday drama ‘Motel California’ (planned by Jang Jae-hoon/directed by Kim Hyung-min, Lee Jae-jin/written by Lee Seo-yoon/produced by HB Entertainment/hereafter ‘Motel Cali’), which aired on the 14th (Friday), the truth was revealed that Kang-hee (played by Lee Se-young) was not the cause of the accidental deaths of Kang-hee’s mother and Yeon-soo‘s father in the past. Kang-hee and Yeon-soo’s (played by Na In-woo) love began again, but Kang-hee was shocked when she found out about Chun-pil‘s (played by Choi Min-soo) cancer diagnosis.

In the episode that day, Yeon-soo held on to Kang-hee tightly as he said goodbye. Kang-hee pushed Yeon-soo away, thinking that Kang-hee’s mother and Yeon-soo‘s father died because of him, but Yeon-soo said she would wait until the end and expressed her firm determination for Kang-hee. When Kang-hee thought about quitting the company out of guilt, Seok-kyung (Kim Tae-hyung) advised that she and Yeon-soo should work together to resolve the issue.

In the midst of all this, it was revealed that Chun-pil had suffered a relapse of blood cancer three years ago, which was shocking. Chun-pil confessed to Yeon-soo while drunk that he would not receive any more chemotherapy, but Yeon-soo recalled memories of Chun-pil taking care of her like her own son, causing even those who tried to persuade her to get treatment to shed tears. At the same time, Chun-pil strongly urged Kang-hee not to tell anyone.

In the meantime, Kang-hee heard from Nan-woo (Choi Hee-jin) that Yeon-soo was looking for a job in Seoul. Under the misunderstanding that Yeon-soo was avoiding him because of the accident, he decided to study abroad in the United States with Esther (Seo Ye-hwa). Yeon-soo, who went to see Kang-hee, decided to go to the police station with him to directly confirm the cause of the accident. At that time, Kang-hee found a hospital waiting list in Yeon-soo’s pocket and became suspicious.

The next day, Kang-hee and Yeon-soo were surprised to learn the full story of the accident through the traffic accident investigation records. The accident that day was none other than a chain reaction of vehicles caused by snowy roads. Kang-hee and Yeon-soo went together to the meeting between Soo-ji (played by Ji Soo-won) and Mok-won (played by Sunwoo Jae-deok) and tried to tell them the whole truth, and at that moment, Soo-ji shocked them by revealing another reason why she had hated Kang-hee all this time. In fact, the exhaust pipe of the car that Kang-hee had put the doll in was Soo-ji‘s car. Soo-ji had misunderstood that Kang-hee had put the doll in the exhaust pipe as revenge against her. When all the puzzles of that day came together, Kang-hee hugged the young Kang-hee’s illusion as if washing away all the pain of the past.

However, at the end of the play, Kang-hee discovered a large bag of medicine in Chun-pil‘s room, signaling a new crisis. Kang-hee followed Yeon-soo and Chun-pil and was shocked and angry when he saw Chun-pil preparing to enter a nursing home.

In the end, Kang-hee heard that Chun-pil had cancer and told Yeon-soo, who had been hiding it from him, “What on earth are you two thinking? Am I really nothing, not a daughter?” and poured out all the resentment and betrayal that he had never been able to tell Chun-pil, ending the play.

With this, Kang-hee and Yeon-soo learned the truth about the accidental death and were freed from all the guilt and misunderstandings of the past, but Chun-pil’s battle with cancer put their ‘23-year-old first love story’ in crisis. What choices will Kang-hee and Yeon-soo make in Chun-pil‘s fight against cancer?
