Actress Lee Se-young shared her thoughts on the end of ‘Motel California’.

MBC‘s Friday-Saturday drama ‘Motel California’ is a first love remodeling romance drama about Ji Kang-hee (played by Lee Se-young), who was born in a motel in the countryside and grew up in a motel, reuniting with her first love in her hometown she ran away from 12 years ago. Lee Se-young showed off her new charm in every scene by simultaneously completing her independent figure who pursues her dreams and lives her life while also showing a heartbreaking romance that is heartbreaking to watch.

In particular, she portrayed the confusion and wavering of the character who is faced with a heartbreaking reunion with her first love with her delicate emotional acting and stable expressiveness. Her acting, which heightened the tension of the drama and created a sorrowful narrative, left a lingering aftertaste even in the midst of sweetness, causing viewers to become overly immersed in the drama. Lee Se-young proved her acting skills once again by showing off her acting spectrum that transcends genres through her strong-toned Ji Kang-hee.

Lee Se-young said, “I still feel dazed and it feels like we worked on it for a long time, but it also feels like it ended quickly, so I feel strange. As I put the original content into the episodes, I think the emotions that I couldn’t express all remain in my heart.” She expressed her affection for the project that she worked on for a long time. “I want to thank the director, writer, and countless staff members who I worked with. And I want to tell the senior and junior actors who I worked with that I was truly happy,” she said, expressing special affection for the staff and actors who suffered with her in the cold weather.

She said, “When I talk about my thoughts on the ending, I feel sad, but I also think that this is a moment when we are about to begin something new. I want to tell everyone who loved the drama and my fans that I am grateful for watching it, and I hope that you will be able to do everything you want to do in the future.” Lastly, Lee Se-young said, “I will greet you again with a new look,” raising expectations for her future activities.

Meanwhile, Lee Se-young is currently reviewing her next work.
