MUST WATCH HILARIOUS HEARTFELT SWEET WITTY CHARMING CUTE MEMORABLE ADORABLE LOVABLE
This show is simply one of the BEST shows I have EVER seen, period.NOT just the best comedy show, but one of the best shows EVER.
10/10 on every aspect.
It was so unexpectedly hilarious yet witty, crack-filled yet charming, sweet yet salty, and simply ADORABLE.
The perfect blend of comedy mixed with interesting story arcs that all shape the show to go in the right direction every single time and leave you wanting the show to go on FOREVER so that you can see this trio and the respective added partners continue to live and grow in their lives while being unexpectedly hilarious and cute.
They did such a great job with genuine characters in a crack comedic genre. The story and the character development creeps up on you, to the extent that you start to care deeply about each character's growth while also experiencing the hilarity that comes from each and every single character's unique personality traits till the very end.
UNEXPECTED is my other favourite word about this show, after hilarious. Just when you think you know what's gonna happen, it doesn't, and even if it does, it happens in the most (you guessed it) HILARIOUS way possible. Eventually you start to predict the actions of a character because you come to recognise their personality BUT THEY SURPRISEYOU IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE.
This show is simply a must watch, no other way to put it.

This is your typical Slice of (Absurd) Life show! Jokes and silly situations are the main element of this show, and I love how they can keep the vibe consistently throughout the season. There are some expected jokes, there are jokes that appear unexpectedly when you think that the scene shouldn't be a joke, and there are also some jokes that you won't be able to forget for a while. You will laugh in most episodes, and you may hurt your jaw in the others.All of the main leads play their own character excellently. Lee Joo-Woo as the arrogant Soo-Ah, Go Won-Hee as the rude Seo-Jin, Jung In-Sun as the clueless Han Yoon-Ah. Son Seung-Won as the innocent Bong Doo-Shik, Kim Jung-Hyun as the grumpy Dong-Goo and Lee Yi-Kyung as the childish Joon-Ki. The latter has an outstanding performance by successfully pulling tons of absurd scenes. All six of them living together really causing a chaotic life situation.
Unfortunately, timeline is not a focus in this show. Some scenes appear in a weird sequence. Prior making Dong-Goo marries Yoon-Ah, the landlady tries to kick them out since they haven't paid the rent. But if you look back to the previous episode, their guesthouse is full and they even don't have any room for Yoon-Ah that she has to sleep in Seo-Jin's room. The photoshoot when Yoon-Ah wears green screen also weird because in the previous episode, Joon-Ki destroys Dong-Goo camera, and later on Dong-Goo has to win a camera from a giveaway. It is also weird that Yoon-Ah suddenly goes to the baking school excessively and forgets to take care of her baby. Also I feel the quality of the story is going downhill after Yoon-Ah get together with Dong-Goo.
To conclude: yes, you definitely have to watch (and rewatch) this show. It will give you a lot of laughs! There aren't any stupid or dragging tropes, just you watching a (chaotic) day at a guesthouse.

A wholesome bundle of joy
This drama is purely nice. It was fun to watch, warmed my heart and made me LOL unlike any drama I have seen before. Needless to say, it is very wholesome.It had me in tears just after maybe 10 minutes of watching; the scene where Dong-goo discovers Sol hidden on the bed in her little growth suit. He then has to change her diaper and for some reason expects her to be a boy. From this point on I knew this was gonna be good.
I loved all of the characters. Not one of them pissed me off. I liked how they all had their own little quirks i.e. Seo-jin growing a beard, and Yoon-ah rapping.
Don't even get me STARTED on Sol. She is the most cutest little squish I have ever seen!
Some of my favourite scenes were:
•When Dong-goo wants to kiss Yoon-ah but she is ticklish. Honestly she is so cute too!
•When Sol finally calls Dong-goo oppa
•When Soo-yah resists the anaesthetic and confesses to Doo-sik that she likes him
It was sometimes a bit meh in places (for example whenver Joon-ki would be on a different set), but for the most part it was entertaining and gripped me so I wanted to keep watching.
The sound effects and music made the show even funnier; although it could be quite serious and meaningful in parts.
Overall, it was very lighthearted, nice and easy to watch. Would recommend to anyone who's feeling down and needs to LOL.

I heard a lot about this drama before so I was expecting the comedy. And it didn't disappoint, the comedy was gold and especially the situation jokes on point, they had me laughing almost every five minutes. But what I wasn't expecting was that it wasn't only a comedy drama, it had many other hidden aspects. First, the friendship aspect. I want to have friends like them, especially the three guys were amazing, making fun of each other but having each other's back in difficult situations. The romantic couples I didn't like as much to be honest, there were some toxic traits but also cute moments but I simply preferred the friendships in this drama.
Second, I really like how the drama painted a single mom in a positive light. There were other deep social topics discussed like not having enough money, trying to live up to your parents' expectations and such.
Last but not least, I want to highlight the actors' work because they really did an amazing job in the drama and the 20 episodes didn't feel like too many.
My final rating for Welcome to Waikiki is 9.5/10.

Hilarious, wholesome friendship, found family
I loved it at first. The first 2 episodes were hilarious like I was literally dying. I don't think any other drama made me laugh like that.Ep 3-13 was good. Very entertaining, There were moments I laughed out loud but mostly I was just smiling and I enjoyed it quite a lot.
Ep 13-17 are my least favourite
I would have rated this drama higher ( 9/10) if it wasn't for this part, mainly because of the weird love triangle between Yuna, the chef guy and Dong-goo. This part made me dislike his character a lot. He was so immature and it wasn't funny or entertaining at all. And I didn't see why yuna was attracted or had affection for him. Like he would literally make her do more chores and boss her around just so she wouldn't see the other guy ( pathetic ) they were my least favourite ship but I liked how he treated he after they got together.
Ep 18-20
The spark of the show came back and I grew to love Min Soo Ah and Bong Doo-Sik together and individually.
My favourite character was Lee Joon-ki and it is mainly thanks to the actor who did an excellent job. He was hilarious but also precious and such a good friend and boyfriend.
Kang soo join was a character I liked a lot, especially in the beginning. Baby Sol was cute too.
Overall a heartwarming drama and I like when the part of OST where they mention the drama's name. ( 🎶 Waikiki Wonderland 🎶)
And I loved the ending scene ❤️

Heartfelt laughter
Usually I am not the type of person to write any reviews, but this sitcom definitely deserves one. I was searching for something to cheer me up while going through a hard time in my life, and this was it. This drama had me laughing through the pain, but also taught me some things – which, regarding the fact that the story and the characters are a little over the top at times, was definitely something I didn't expect. It made me tear up during some parts as well, but overall the show was deeply comforting. I will forever look back at this sitcom with a little joy in my heart. I definitely recommend watching (both seasons!)Was this review helpful to you?
Every single day when I went to check out some news on MDL, Laughter in Waikiki kept on popping up on the main page as "trending" and "highly-rated". To be honest, I was already watching like 3 other ongoing dramas at that moment, so squeezing in this one seemed irrational. But I'm so glad I jumped on this train! Well, fans did promised me seas of laughter, but the humor wasn't my style. Yes, I did burst into tears a couple of times, but that's about it. What really stood out to me was the format of this series. It really reminded me of something that they'd make in Hollywood, a potential sitcom as some people mentioned before. But this drama was WAAAY better than something that they'd produce in the US. I loved how the creators managed to combine various genres together. The storyline was excellent, the character development was wonderfully though-out. Personally, I loved each and every character, but by far my favorite one was definitely our little angel Sol. She's just the most adorable baby ever! In addition, the remaining cast too - spectacular!
So briefly, this was a really enjoyable binge watch for me. Watch it to get your daily dose of vitamin c! I, most certainly, request a season 2 (perhaps when Sol is a teenager?)!

One of the best comedic sitcoms you'll ever watch
This is a wholesome drama from comedy to romance to melodrama to thriller. Name a genre and it will appear on one of the episodes.It is one of the best comedy drama I've watched because everything is natural. The jokes doesn't seem too forceful either. Every episode is like a story within a story. What I loved about it the most is that it doesn't require you to binge-watch it to appreciate it. You can watch an episode with a light heart and a good laugh then be productive and watch another episode at a later time because each episode is already a complete story. Every episode together creates a wonderful big picture but it lets you appreciate
and savor each detail of it. It's not all laugh and fun because there were lots of touching and romantic episode as well among the characters. The nonsensical events adds to the comedic atmosphere but if you really analyze it, the plot is quite simple and can be seen on most dramas but how it was presented is so unique and refreshing.
The characters on the story are all insane and having these unique kind of people on one place creates the funny vibe of the whole drama. Their relationship with one another is just unbelievable but at the same time you'll find yourself wanting to have a group of friends like them. Always loud and outgoing through ups and downs.
The casts were equally good for me because all of them made their characters come to life. It was as if I was with them in Waikiki all the time. Although the situations are ridiculously absurd, it really feels real. Although, I must admit that YiKyung's acting shined in this drama since he actually made most of the funny scenes and there were lots of side stories coming from his character.
If you just want to cheer up and watch a light drama, this is actually the best. An episode a day will keep your worries away.

Light-hearted, funny and kinda like comfort food
I really enjoyed this one, and it only took me about a week to watch it, I even have put the other dramas aside for this because I loved it made me happy! It is lighthearted, funny and shows cute stories of friendships, love and everyday struggles. Since my career also came to a huge halt due to Corona I felt deeply for the 3 guys and could relate to their situation. I especially loved Kang Dong Goos character and I just loved how the story ended for him ^_^So if you are looking for a funny drama with great friendship you will not regret watching this drama!
