Imagine a cross of Friends, Three Men and a Baby, American Pie and Airplane, that somehow manages to maintain continuity and have heart. It sounds hard to believe but you have to watch to see.

Eulachacha Waikiki (odd title) isn't one of your typical k dramas. It is a comedy that is followed by romance. The funny parts are plenty and they continue till the very last episode. Actually, the comedy part is quite solide, without overtrying it or making seriously silly jokes. Then there is the romance. The love stories were okay, but they were not the main focus of the drama, rightfully at least, as they weren't that great. In addition, the performances were nice and they helped with the comedy part of the drama. Finally, the 20 episode length weren't tiring and it helped with the development of the story. So, 8 out of 10.

This is one my fav Korean TV shows.. And the funniest .. The characters are so silly.. I love it

Every single thing about this show was on point, from the storytelling, acting, to the plot and script. Each episode made me laugh my heart out without feeling that it was trying too hard to be funny. I'm not a huge fan of k-dramas, but this one exceeded my expectations in every way. A must watch!

There wasn't one episode I didn't laugh.This drama includes scenarios we typically see in any comedy-based movie or series but this one exceeded my expectations. I wish they would do more movies and series like this. The best! If you want to laugh from the first to the last episode, watch this.

You will never be bored if you give this show a try. Definitely the best korean drama I have seen. The funny parts are very cringe-worthy but incredibly funny, never thought I'd be laughing at scenes like that. I didn't like the first episode the first time I tried watching it, so gave it a second try and I'm happy I did, one of the few shows that I don't mind rewatching because everyone is beautiful and funny in their own way.

I don't leave reviews but this is one of the best dramas I've seen. I have never laughed so much. Must watch 👍🏻

A must watch series for all the sad people out there, it really changes your mood and you'll laugh like crazy.

Every episode is funny! Lol I definitely will rewatch this show.

The plot is very relaxed and happy, the jokes are enough, and the characters have distinct personalities. The disadvantage is that the emotional transformation is slightly rigid, the proportion of love plays is too much, and the same stalks are used back and forth.

It's a pleasure to have series like this.. so much enjoyable with family & friends. The actors & co stars did Thier perfect class of acting. So it's a 10 out of 10 from me

Slapstick comedy and not funny. There is no chemistry between the love teams. The female lead looks like tired and havent eaten for a while, acting was the worst among the characters. The story plot for each was not interesting. I gave 5 for the baby, the settings, the soundtrack and the 2nd male lead.I added two more stars from original 3 stars because the second season was better.

Actually this drama made me fall in love with Korean dramas. This drama is full of jokes. I like their friendship, even though they are always fighting. in the end they became close friends again. you have to watch this bro

That ".GWENCHANA" is probably the best dialogue in entire Korean series. Absolutely loved it

By far the best comedy kdrama I've seen. No dull moments. Every one's acting is on point. Thoroughly enjoyed it from start to end. So, 10 on 10 for me.

I laughed like crazy. There is no cringey cliche romance! The jokes and plot was so situational comedy. There were some moments i laughed so loud that my Landlord came down and asked me if everything's okay.

I love love this drama!! Its hilarious. So thankful that this drama exists. Its was so beautiful and stress reliever.

If you're looking for an indicator of popularity, then a second season is pretty safe. Which for some reason is actually not that common in K Drama ( who wouldn't want it for Secretary Kim ? ), but if the level of public enthusiasm and love for the characters leads to a second helping, chances are you'll probably like it. I haven't seen season two of Waikiki yet but I definitely will because this first one is really enjoyable. It's sweet, consistently funny, well-acted and generally very entertaining. The "Waikiki" is the name of a hostel run by three men ( they're also friends ) and a woman. Alpha male Dong Goo ( Kim Jung Hyun ) has ambitions to direct a movie and needs money. Struggling actor Joon Ki ( Lee Yi Kyung ) yearns for success and shy Doo Sik ( Son Seung Won ) is writing a cheesy B-movie script which Dong will direct. Seo Jin ( Go Won Hee ) is Dong's younger sister and desperate to find a decent job. Joining the main quartet in quick time is quiet single mum Yoon Ah ( Jung In Sun ) and her cute baby daughter, and the bossy Soo Ah ( Lee Joo Woo ); she's Dong's ex GF. Also worthy of mention is pastry chef Hun Joo ( Kang Kyung Jun ). He's suave, wealthy and handsome so veteran K Drama fans will know his outcome. Things get off to a rather predictable start : nobody has EVER seen a bunch of single guys grossed out by a baby's "deposit", while the sight of a young breast-feeding mother has to provoke frantic embarrassment in the same group. From then on, however, I'm pleased to say the laughs come thick and fast as do a few surprises. This type of sit-com format rises/falls primarily on the strength of the jokes, and a number of scenarios are especially amusing. Two of the boys volunteer for a paid medicine trial with interesting results; one of them acquires a stalker which is cleverly done; a master/student situation concerning a children's game reminded me of "The Karate Kid"; an extremely defective car takes two of them prisoner; a gorgeous female foreigner visits the hostel to hilarious effect and one of the boys encounters a celebrity with VERY devoted fans. That one features some effective satire, while the toilet humour sprinkled throughout the show works very well too without going overboard; after all, what can be funnier than a pretty young woman who farts ? The answer : not much. Humour is important, though it won't count for much if we don't care about the characters. All the main cast are likable, and the various relationships which are formed along the way enhance the "care-factor". Quality writing is the key here, as are the right actors. KJH is initially hard to warm to, yet mellows quickly. LYK has a slight tendency to overdo the face-pulling at times but has plenty of charisma and energy. SSW is engaging and develops nicely. GWH handles a range of moods with aplomb; JIS starts quietly and really blossoms, and that also applies to the haughty and eventually comical LJW. The director should take a bow for keeping things moving briskly while also injecting some visual style on occasion ( eg Joon Ki and his talkative mentor ). So, the bar's been set pretty high for the sequel and most of the original cast are gone. Hmm. I'll be sure to take a deep, anxious breath before I visit Waikiki a second time.

I have only watched 7 epi of it. Yet am ready to give it more than 10 stars. Amazing show amazing cast amzing dailogues... And comedy timing amazing of every main cast. If you wanna die of laughing then it is a must watch show..not only bits of drama but in every dailogue you will burst it into tears of laughing.. great applause to writers and directors and the cast. I have never watched such comedy drama till now. Good luck WELCOME TO WAIKIKI for your future projects. Hope you come with more amazing comedy dramas like this.

All credits go to joon-ki & ki-bong. These guys will make you laugh to tears!!! 😂

Season 1 The drama did a great job in blending humor and heart, creating an enjoyable mix with a lively dynamic, for the most part. The comedy was sharp and varied, ranging from slapstick to witty banter, however, this didn't apply for every segment and joke. Some of these went on for too long or weren't interesting in the slightest, these were also more present in the 2nd half than the first one. Nonetheless, not only the drama had great humor but also had a progressing story that fit right in. The dynamic chemistry among the cast enhanced the comedic timing, while the well-paced storyline balanced these moments with memorable scenes. Speaking of dynamics, Doo Shik remained a sidekick and a third wheel in every situation and scene, he was never a lead and always the weakest link, even the actor himself. The drama should've wrote him better to fit the dynamic rather than having a wasted slot. Anyway, it's an enjoyable fun watch for what it had to offer. However, I highly advise against watching season 2.

Season 2 In comparison, season 2 was a complete utter failure in all regards, however, as a stand alone drama, it was a passable cheap inoffensive forgettable watch, for the most part. It failed miserably to capture the same magic that made the first season so endearing. The second season felt like a pale imitation, struggling to find its footing. One major issue was the lack of continuity in the cast, with many beloved characters and dynamics from the first season absent with no worthy replacements. This shift disrupted the chemistry and dynamic that were crucial to the show's initial charm. The new characters, while sometimes amusing, didn't bring the same level of depth, humor and relatability, resulting in a series of forced and often flat comedic moments. Speaking of comedy, the writing in season 2 leaned heavily on repetitive gags and clichéd scenarios, lacking the creativity and originality that kept the first season fresh and engaging. Not to mention its poor job in recycling some of the gags and scenarios, as well as most of the romances and its archetypes from season 1. Seriously shameful! The brief storylines were disjointed, and the emotional moments that once balanced the humor now came across as contrived and artificial. The romantic relationships, while they never were the main focus, were really stupid and tasteless. The pacing also suffered, with episodes dragging without the slightest engaging interplay of humor and character moments that previously defined the show. Second season tried to replicate the success of its predecessor but fell quite short, the charm, wit, and warmth that made the first season a hit were noticeably missing. I highly advise watching S1 and ignoring S2. Season 2 gets 4/10.

Wasn't quite sure what to expect from this series. Once I started watching I couldnt stop. It is definately the most unique Korean show I have watched. About 3 or 4 episodes in it hit me, Korean version of Friends.

You do. A lot.

Situations are not even forced. They make sense. And funny. As hell.

If you want to laugh I mean just laugh, without having to worry about whether you will find next scene funny or impossible, watch this.

Season 2 is just as funny.

Don't worry about character development or story development. Just watch. And laugh.
