Zhang Jing Yi is the FL in both. The chemistry is natural. The relationship had depth. However, BEITD does not have a satisfactory ending.

Both dramas need to be watched privately for the sole reason that it will make you crack and ugly snort if you watch it in public. They have different premise but they have the similar elements of friendship, life, and (very little) romance.

Waikiki is more like a sitcom, but I love the development of the characters. For Prison Playbook, it feels more like a more organized drama where you get know each inmate and their story with comedic elements in it.

If you're after something with a similarly absurd level of humour to Pegasus Market, Welcome to Waikiki is THE ONE! Both had me in stitches.

Go Go Waikiki is definitely funnier, but both dramas are about people doing their best to be successful in their own terms.

Prequel to the second season. It really shows you the roots of the show's now trademark humour. A definite watch to anyone who watched the first season or who enjoys out-of-the-box comedy.

- friends living together & getting to know each other better
- goofiness/childlike nature of the lead male
- the silly comic relief character who is an inspiring actor
- adorable romances
- characters interested in film
- coed living
- sensible and smart second leads
- childhood friends finding love as adults

This is more of a comedy but it's very similar to yumi's cells. The characters go through different lessons /challenges in each episode and have a similar type of humor

This show is also an extremely funny comedy that contains absurd situations and slapstick humor where everything is played for laughs.

These two dramas share the same sense of humor and both are mainly pure comedies so if you found yourself dying from laughing in Waikiki then you'll do the same for The Boy next door or vice versa. The characters are also very similar (idiotic and childish), the bromance is off the charts and while the overall plots of the two dramas are different, in essence, they are the same; idiotic characters finding themselves in idiotic situations that have you rolling on the floor.

These dramas center on a bunch of roommates in an urban setting (there is romance, drama, comedy...)

While EW centers on a bunch of guys friends who are part of the entertainment world and who run a guesthouse, AoY and its sequel centers on a group of college going girls who room together in a nice flat.

Although they hold different settings, the comedic energy in both dramas is quite similar!
Both do an impressive job of showcasing fun, light-hearted comedy that has you cackling at 2am in the night
A romantic storyline begins developing itself in the story as the episodes progress
Has adorable couple moments, and a minute love triangle

If you're looking for a show that has the same comedic energy, and don't mind slightly older actors as well as a slightly mature storyline, I definitely recommend checking it out!

You're left wanting more of the 6 main characters of this story :))

Both dramas involve a group of people living together. They're both funny and have great group dynamics. Go Go Waikiki is more nuanced and complex. Surplus Princess is fun and entertaining.

First, they are both unhinged. Sometimes their humor is so over the top, but I love that. It's the best medicine to make you laugh. Both have romance but waikiki has more focus on friendship rather than romance, while freaking fairytale focus on the romance between two leads.

- a similar concept of a group of people cohabiting in a house where they grow as people and relationships bloom
- both include romance, whilst lonely enough to love seems more on the melodramatic side, whilst laughter in waikiki is definitely more comedic.

Both dramas feature couples who started their romance in a guesthouse! WHY is a webdrama though Eulachacha Waikiki has funnier scenes since it's a cable drama
