Motel California episode 10, which aired on the 8th, delivered an intense moment between Kang-hee (played by Lee Se-young) and Yeon-soo (played by Na In-woo). After regaining her lost memories, Kang-hee decided to end their relationship.
During their conversation, Kang-hee told Yeon-soo, “Let’s stop. Us.” Yeon-soo, showing his sincerity, responded, “I don’t know why, but if you need time alone, I’ll wait.” His heartfelt words left a deep impression on viewers.
Family Conflicts and Emotional Tensions
The episode also highlighted a dramatic moment involving Kang-hee’s friend, Areum (Lee So-yi). Areum, determined to tell her mother about her relationship with Cha Seung-eon (Koo Ja-sung), faced harsh resistance. When she introduced Seung-eon to her mother, she was met with anger and even a slap on the cheek. Her mother blamed Kang-hee for influencing Areum and expressed frustration over their social differences.
Seung-eon, witnessing the confrontation, apologized and walked away. Kang-hee later tried to console Areum, but Seung-eon advised her against interfering, saying it would only make things harder.
Unresolved Feelings and Painful Memories
Meanwhile, Kang-hee reflected on her past. After visiting her mother’s urn, she was overwhelmed by emotions and made the difficult choice to end things with Yeon-soo. This breakup left many viewers wondering about their future.
Ji Chun-pil (Choi Min-sik) also revealed his suspicions to Yeon-soo, suggesting that Kang-hee’s memories had returned. He expressed gratitude for Yeon-soo’s support, further adding to the emotional weight of the episode.
New Romance Blooms Amid Heartbreak
While one love story came to an end, another began. Yoon Nan-woo (Choi Hee-jin) mistakenly believed that Ryu Han-woo (Jung Yong-joo) was leaving town. In a rush of emotions, she ran to the bus terminal to stop him. This misunderstanding led to the start of a new romantic connection between the two characters.
Kang-hee Faces the Truth About Her Past
The drama also revisited Kang-hee’s traumatic memories. In episode 9, she had a vision of a past car accident while traveling with Yeon-soo. The shock left her unconscious, and she was rushed to the hospital. When she woke up, she recalled crucial details about the accident that took her mother’s life.
She tearfully asked Ji Chun-pil, “Why didn’t Dad come then? What appointment was more important than Mom?” His apology brought a moment of closure, though the pain lingered. Kang-hee’s emotional journey continues to unfold, keeping viewers deeply invested.
