Motel California Theories: The new episodes of Motel California (모텔 캘리포니아) have fans flipping as the plot keeps getting intense with each passing week. While the main leads are already getting whipped for them, the second leads are not falling behind as they give us some serious Second Lead Syndrome. While fans cannot stop swooning over the plot and the cast, fans have also got some intriguing things to say about the show altogether.
The plot of the show follows a young girl who leaves her hometown due to the numerous gossipers who cannot stop talking about her. While she builds a career in the city, she returns to her hometown at the peak of her career. However, this return brings her face-to-face with her first love who, unknown to her, has similar feelings for her. Will this reunion give them a new start? Directed by Kim Hyung-min, the drama stars Lee Se-young, Na In-woo, Choi Min-soo, Kim Tae-hyeong, and other cast members.
After 4 episodes of the show, fans have already got a lot to say, share, and think about as they take over social media platforms to talk about the show. With X (formerly known as Twitter) getting flooded with comments about the show, there are some that are hard to miss out on. These are fans talking about the various themes of the show, theories of what could happen, and their thoughts on the actions of the characters of the show.
While swooning over the cinematography and various scenes from the show is a weekly affair, within 4 episodes, the show has brought out more than just compliments for these things. People are talking about the depth of the show despite the simple summary, questioning the ever-changing mood of the characters, and the badass personality of other characters. This show is truly magnificent, and something that is more than just a romance drama.
When it comes to the characters, fans are especially energetic as some defend their actions, while others condemn them. Well, what can we say, the main leads are truly too deeply in love with each other but the misunderstanding and shifting emotions are getting onto our nerves. And once again, it’s only been 4 episodes!
One writes, “Am i the only one who actually thinks the female lead is greatly written. She loves the ML there is no doubt about it, she knows it too, but being with him will bring back all the traumatic things she faced in the childhood hence she pushes him away. And whenever she rejected him she never gave him false hope, she said outright to not wait for her. She did not ask him to wait for her. they could have explained a bit more of why the ML is head over heels for the FL. Maybe he is just waiting for her to heal herself and return.”
Another fan writes, “#MotelCalifornia is a love story, but it’s also a story about acceptance and tolerance. As two individuals who must deal with discrimination, Kanghee and Yeonsoo offer an appealing parable about not letting the negative opinion of others define you.”
“Never been so conflicted between 1st and 2nd leads as I am with #MotelCalifornia . I can d!E for someone as devoted and loving as Yeon Soo, but my heart breaks for Seok Kyung – the chaebol heir sleeps all night outside Kang Hee’s room just to protect her💜#MotelCaliforniaEp4” writes another fan who just cannot handle all the mess that’s going on in the show.
Truly, Motel California is not an easy to understand show with the characters who are so complicated, but that doesn’t make it lose its charm. The actors always manage to keep us hooked to the show while the plot makes sure to keep the intensity high. With this, let’s take a look at what more is being said about the show on X!
