Motel California (모텔 캘리포니아)

You shouldn't do this, stop it.

Let go!

Jeez, go back.

Cheon Yeon Soo.

Move aside, I have something to say to Cheon Yeon Soo.

At this point, what do you even have to say to him?

It's too late, Kang Hee.

Doing this will only make Yeon Soo suffer.

Just a moment.

Yeon Soo.

Yeon Soo.

How long have you been together that you're already getting married?

Are you sure you know what you're getting into?

Aren't you just being charmed by a vixen?

Don't speak recklessly.

What?

You said you'd only wait for me.

You said you only liked me!

First love, the end.

This is what you said.

You're now a woman of the past to me.

Goodbye, Ji Kang Hee.

Let's go inside.

Cheon Yeon Soo.

Yeon Soo.

Cheon Yeon Soo!

Yeon Soo.

He's just like his name, Cheon Yeon Soo.

He's completely innocent.

He has a house and a hospital, so I should take my share and leave.

Wait a bit, sweetheart.

What on Earth did you do to Yeon Soo?

Let me see your face first.

No, you can't.

Hey, hey, Kang Hee!

No, you can't.

Hey!

Let go. What's wrong with you?

I'm sorry.

What kind of dream did you have? Why are you doing this to me?

- Ah Reum. - Yes.

By any chance, what do you think would happen

if I went back to Hana-eup

and worked there?

You had a nightmare, right?

The dream of returning to Hana-eup.

Don't be scared. You haven't done anything wrong.

That's something of the past.

And both you and Yeon Soo have found your own partners, so what will happen?

Don't worry and come.

No, that won't happen.

Hana-eup doesn't have a hotel or a shopping mall.

I won't go back.

I'll go.

- Where to? - To Hana-eup.

I said I'll go.

The CEO has already left.

- Room 7112. - Over there, over there.

Are you…

Are you okay?

How badly are you hurt?

As you can see, I'm alive.

The car's almost scrap, so I'm just glad it's still this good.

Does a left turn without protection even make sense?

Why would they create a signal that doesn't even provide protection?

You should have been careful.

Shall I call someone?

No, no.

I'm fine.

What should we do about the Hana-eup case?

The weather is getting colder.

We can't postpone the construction until my leg heals.

The incentive.

It's double, right?

Are you going to handle the work for me?

I can change the design, right?

Are you going to do that as well?

We'll have to reschedule the meeting.

Since Director Geum knows all about the site progress, you two go together.

- Pardon? - Yes, sir.

Are you going on a cruise or something?

Are you the one heading to the prosecutor's office photo line?

If you go to the site like that, you'll ruin your clothes.

What's the use in saving clothes that I'll throw away after the season?

If you buy things like this instead of those, that's wasteful.

There's one condition if we go together.

Let's book accommodation 30 minutes away in the city.

Why?

You've never lived in the countryside, right?

I know from experience, there are really a lot of people talking.

They complain about the construction noise being too loud,

say they'll bring the whole family to introduce them,

and come over anytime, day or night, without notice. It's really a headache.

- Deal. - For the same reasons,

if we run into someone at a restaurant, it's tiring, so let's have everything delivered.

Okay.

And this is the most important thing.

Is there more?

Please don't call me by my name.

Excuse me?

If I don't call you Ji Kang Hee, what should I call you?

We've met through work.

There are clearly designated titles in the company, right?

Oh, you care about that sort of thing.

Got it, Assistant Manager Ji.

Don't call me that either.

Then what do you want me to do?

Ms. Ji Kang Hee, Assistant Manager Ji.

As long as you don't call me like this, it's fine.

Look here, hey, you there, hey.

Well…

Alright.

Ms. Manager.

Huh?

I mean, you are the person in charge, right?

Ms. Manager.

Please get off, Ms. Manager.

Isn't the site across the street?

You know this neighborhood well.

I saw it on the map.

On the map.

Are you going to have the client meeting at the construction site?

That's not it, but…

But why here of all places?

Because the owner here is the client.

- Excuse me? - Bring all the blueprints with you.

Nice to meet you.

I am the designer in charge of the interior.

But…

I entrusted the work to Ms. Hwang,

because I trust her.

We will proceed as soon as she recovers,

so you two should go back now.

Ms. Manager here is our company's ace,

the one that Ms. Hwang trusts and believes in the most.

My father also runs a motel,

so I'm confident that I know what you want better than anyone.

Yeah?

Where does he run a motel?

He passed away when she was ten.

I see.

Then…

Then, shall I hear how well

you know what I want?

Our company pursues a remodeling franchise business

that views motels as cultural spaces.

Simply put,

it's about branding motels like hotels.

Do you see the difference between the two?

Let me eliminate this difference.

Ta-da.

This "Otel," which eliminates the difference between a motel and a hotel,

is our brand.

So, it's not "Motel Boomerang,"

but "Otel Hana" instead.

That…

Is the idea of "Otel"

your own?

I wish it were my idea,

but it's actually the idea of Ms. Manager sitting here.

I will continue with the design explanation.

I heard you wanted a party room with a swimming pool.

Is that possible?

What about making a rooftop pool?

The plan is to create a party room on the top floor

and connect it to the deck with a flow of movement.

Then, the jazz bar currently in the basement

will be moved up directly below the party room,

and the lobby will be placed on the floor below that.

This way, we can maximize the view.

Of course, this would reduce the number of rooms, but…

Oh, wait.

I'll be… just excuse me for a moment.

It's almost perfect.

Look, can you see that?

When I make money later, I'll buy that.

If I buy it, on that rooftop, I'll make a big

swimming pool that our Kang Hee likes.

Can't we just build it here?

No, the actual view is better over there.

The view from there is much more impressive.

I'll make your pool that big,

and right underneath it, I'll build the jazz bar that I like.

I'll completely move the counter up, just like in foreign hotels.

- Yeah. - Oh? That's nice?

Oh, that's nice?

I had forgotten.

I had forgotten everything.

But Kang Hee remembered it

all along.

If you don't like the draft, we can edit it as much as needed.

We also acknowledge that it's an unreasonable change…

Let's do it that way.

Excuse me?

That's what I've always dreamed of.

Please take good care of it.

Welcome aboard.

You came all the way here.

It must not have been easy to get here.

I have to go to the site.
