Actress Choi Hee-jin captured attention with her vibrant presence from her very first appearance in 'Motel California.'

Choi Hee-jin made her debut in the MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Motel California' (planned by Jang Jae-hoon, directed by Kim Hyung-min, written by Lee Seo-yoon) in the second episode aired on the 11th, playing the role of veterinarian Yoon Nan-woo, who genuinely loves and cares for animals.

On this day, Nan-woo made her first appearance struggling to catch escaping puppies. She formed a connection with Yeon-su (played by Nine-Woo) due to the sudden scattering of a dozen puppies in all directions.

When Nan-woo asked Yeon-su to help catch the puppies, Yeon-su skillfully gathered them together to assist her, but then suddenly called the rescue team, leaving her flustered.

Nan-woo expressed her frustration at Yeon-su's actions, saying, "I just got them out with great difficulty, what if they are sent back to the lab? You don't even know," revealing her resentment. However, instead of sending the puppies back to the lab, Yeon-su connected them to a shelter and introduced Nan-woo to her experimental dog and stray dog protection club, 'Sharing Footprints.' At this, Nan-woo's eyes widened as she realized that Yeon-su was a senior she had always respected in her department.

Then, Nan-woo asked Yeon-su's friend Ah-reum (played by Lee So-i) about her relationship status and even checked her Christmas Eve schedule, showing a keen interest that heightened curiosity about how their relationship would develop.

Since her debut in the 2018 Playlist web drama 'This Flower-Like Ending,' Choi Hee-jin has steadily built her own filmography through various works, including the dramas 'Strong Woman Do Bong-soon,' 'Hip,' the Disney+ original series 'Royal Loader,' and films such as 'Girl on a Bulldozer,' 'Completed Transaction,' and 'The Neighbor.' In 'Royal Loader,' she played the role of 'Kang Hee-joo,' the youngest daughter of a chaebol family, showcasing her acting skills by delicately expressing the complex emotions of a character who, while being straightforward and lively, experiences a sudden emotional breakdown after being rejected by someone she likes.
