Home, Bitter Home: Motel California

Synopsis

Can love and life be remodeled?

Our heroine, Ji Kanghee, was born and raised in a motel. She hates the small rural town where everyone is like family, so she leaves behind her first love, Cheon Yeonsu, and escapes.

After years of struggling, falling, and climbing back up, she finally feels like she's found success, a career, and maybe even love. But then, she hears a rumor—her first love, Yeonsu, the one she thought would long for her forever, has found someone to marry.

From the depths of her heart, she sends him a sincere blessing, but she can’t shake the overwhelming urge to confirm it for herself. Does this girlfriend really exist? And what are Yeonsu's true feelings?

By a twist of fate, the construction site where she's now the project lead is located in H-town, the very place she swore she’d never return to after leaving. Amid interactions with old classmates and townsfolk, she starts to sense that Yeonsu might still have feelings for her—and to her surprise, she doesn’t entirely dislike it.

Before she knows it, both her love and her life are undergoing a full remodel.
