Not Good Enough
Korean Drama '' Motel California '' is a melodrama about family, first love, and small communities.
The drama had so many interesting themes to explore, like the main lead's biracial identity and how she was treated by the small community she was raised in, or her relationship with her father and her mother. Alas, everything was only touched upon, were never explored deeper than the surface, and was concentrated on the romance, which wasn't that interesting to begin with, other than the first episode.
At least, the performances were all great by every actor and actress of the cast. The pace, however, of the story was messy and badly handled.
So, overall, four out of ten.
