"Lee So-e has confirmed her appearance in MBC's new drama "Motel California". "Motel California" starring Lee So-e, is a remodeled romance drama that the female protagonist, who was born in a motel in the countryside and grew up in a motel, goes through when she reunites with her first love in her hometown, where she fled from 12 years ago and is based on Shim Yoon-seo's novel "Home, Bitter Home" in 2019.

Lee So-e plays Han Ah-reum, a library librarian who is a friend of Ji Kang-hee (Lee Se-young) in the play and dreams of becoming a poet. At the age of 20, Ah-reum is a person who hates her friend Kang-hee, who left his hometown without saying anything, but cares about her when she returns to Motel California.
