Welcome to Waikiki

Definition of a feelgood sitcom

Okay so I began watching this drama when I was ill and needed something lighthearted to cheer me up and can I say: this was THE PERFECT CHOICE. From the first episode I was laughing more than I ever have whilst watching a tv show of any kind, it is silly and just straight up hilarious.
I must admit, the humour may not be everyone's cup of tea (it even got a bit OTT for me at points), and it did dip for me at around episode 12 ish (?), but picked up again massivelyyy after a couple of episodes.
Definition fangirl mode was activated on multiple occasions during this drama, it had me stood up screaming at the tv, squealing with excitement, throwing pillows about, gasping in disbelief and telling random people in my life about it even when they didn't care. LOVE TO SEE IT.
Sooooo much happens and what I love about it specifically is that there's always something new going on in each episode. Obviously there's a general continuous plot, but the events that happen are so damn wild sometimes it's so wonderful. I love the consistent characters and their quirks that always come up, and I also enjoy how if there's a plot point I don't particularly like, I can usually count on the fact that it'll be insignificant next episode so I don't have to endure it for too long, but luckily that didn't have to happen very often.
The character interactions and dynamic in the guesthouse was great, it made me feel so at home, it was familiar and warm and kind. I felt truly welcome at the guesthouse. There were so many sweet and heartwarming moments and I really did love the friendships. Yes the characters definitely have flaws (wowee do they have flaws) but they're real. No one is perfect and everyone screws up but they better each other, true friendship right there :)
RELATIONSHIPS WE ALWAYS LOVE A BIT OF ROMANCE YES WE DO: eeeeeeee overall i frickin love the couples I ain't gonna lie. However it must be said that i wasn't too keen on some parts for a while, sometimes it was paced well, other times not, and sometimes it had the potential to be a bit uncomfortable, but definitely with time when you can tell the characters are actually in a good place themselves to be in those relationships, I appreciate the really sweet interactions, they gave me butterflies and heart eyes.
This drama has everything, its truly wacky and crazy but also like a nice comforting hug. I can tell I will rewatch the entire thing in the future at some point, as well as rewatching certain episodes and scenes because they made me laugh so much. I can't wait to laugh that much again! (excuse the very trash writing it is currently 1:42 am I am very tired help me)

We need more sitcom dramas like this!

When you're not in the mood to watch heavier dramas and just want something lax, Eulachacha Waikiki is that type of drama to watch.

The story revolves around these trio of friends struggling to rent out their vacation guesthouse all while navigating life events. Their chemistry together was what made the show, and they were so funny! The first 9 episodes or so got me laughing at every scene at their absurdity. I love how they're not afraid to make fool of themselves.

However. it starts slipping after that. There aren't as many funny scenes, it gets serious, and everyone seems to have a romantic storyline, which isn't necessary! It would have been perfect if it remained lighthearted all the way through.

There was something going on until the very end, that I didn't even notice it was the last episode. I tried Season 2, and the cast just doesn't compare to the original. We need more funny dramas like this to wind down!

This drama is so so good. It has a nice storyline and the characters are so darn funny. My favourite character is Lee Joon Ki cuz whenever he comes on screen I die of laughter and I'm sure you will too. Doo Shik is such a cutie and a real gentleman. Dong Goo is Dong Goo 😂 and I really like him too. Yoon Ah, Su Ah and Seo Jin are also really nice characters and seeing all of them go through crazy adventures together was really a lot of fun. Whenever you're feeling down, watch this drama cuz I'm sure that you'll be laughing like crazy after watching even 5 minutes of it. The second male lead, Hyun Joon, is such a mature person. The way he cared for Yoon Ah and how he wanted her to truly be happy and wanted the best for her was just so cute and heartwarming to watch. I definitely learned a lesson from him. You'll definitely like this drama and miss all the characters when it ends, specially Sol who is the star of the show. Though this show does have a second season, it does not have any of the original cast members except for Lee Yi Kyung which is enough for me to watch it 😄. If you're looking for a drama which is light-hearted and fun to watch, then this is the one you're looking for. I highly recommend it and I'm really gonna miss this show now that I've finished watching it.😭

Cute and refreshing!

The writer must really hate the characters, because whenever something bad happens, it gets worse. And when you think it can’t get worse, it gets EVEN WORSE and I love every minute of it

This was really cute! The 20 episodes just flew by, it’s crazy how quickly this drama ended, considering I usually find it a tad hard to finish extended kdramas. I really liked this overall, the show was absolutely hilarious, especially in the first half, and had some really cute romances in the second half. I still can’t decide whether or not I like that Welcome to Waikiki has a more realistic take on relationships than most kdramas, but it was definitely refreshing at the very least and really fit the overall theme of the drama. I’d definitely recommend this as a light pick-me-up kdrama where you don’t have to think too much or worry about too much conflict. All of the ships were super adorable, and one of them I definitely did not expect but ended up being my favorite one surprisingly! The only things I’d say were negatives in this drama are the fact that some jokes were feeling reused a bit (there’s only so many times a character can fart in their sleep before it becomes gross and not funny) and the fact that the “main” couple of this drama had a weird uneven development to their romance which kind of made it a bit awkward to follow. Otherwise, this drama was a blast and one of the funniest dramas I’ve ever watched!

Overall, it is a good series and you can definitely watch it

This series was recently dubbed in Hindi around mid-2025, and I started watching it between 15 March to 3 April 2026. It is a bit long, but since it is a rom-com, it stays entertaining.

In this series, you get sitcom vibes, bromance, friendship, and slapstick (physical comedy). There is also a touch of breakups and relationship drama.

The story is about a group of friends who are struggling in their life and careers, but everything is shown in a very light-hearted and fun way. In Season 1, all the characters slowly start understanding their own love stories, but there is no proper closure or clear ending. So I am still waiting for Season 2, and I heard it may come soon in Hindi dub.

Overall, it is a good series and you can definitely watch it. Yes, there are some silly moments, and in a few places the comedy feels a bit forced, but it is manageable and can be ignored.

From my side, I recommend it and give it 7 out of 10.

Content Type: Web Series (K-Drama)
Genre: Romantic Comedy, Sitcom, Slice of Life
Writer/Director: Directed by Lee Chang-min. Written by Kim Ki-ho, Song Ji-eun, and Song Mi-so. Produced by JTBC.

It's one of those korean dramas that has a different take on me as a watcher. They did really really different especially in the comedic part since it really is focus on the comedy genre. I didn't have expectations for this drama since I just want to see a romance drama and feel butterflies but instead it was a fun and comedic, I was not really prepared to watch this one. I find myself laughing out loud in this drama. But since it is not my type of drama I would not rewatch this one. The 6 characters are really given the spotlight that they deserve, not just the "main leads." The cast did well in their respective roles, and also the cameos of the artists are also amazing and great.

I think they couldn't find a better trio other thatn Jung Hyun ,Yi Kyung and Seung Won . These guys were amazing and so so funny. Especially Yi Kyung with his dorky attitude and Jung Hyun with all these facial expressions he was making. The female cast were funny too but mostly Won Hee.

The scenario is simple yet funny and fresh. Each episode it's an individual story but there's still a continuation. Although there is a lot of romance this is not just another love story drama.

I really enjoyed this drama and I'm happy they decided to go for season 2. I would definitely re watch it.

I've never seen anything like this k drama, well then again I didn't watch all the kdramas out there. But Waikiki in all it's glory is one of the best comedy dramas I have ever seen personally. I laughed so much while watching this. The casting is perfect their acting is brilliant!! The plot and the comedy sketches the writers came up with are very well executed. Kudos to the cast! If it's not for their perfect timing and dialogue delivery Waikiki would come off as another mere slap stick comedy. I never felt bored even for a second of this drama and I didn't skip anything, trust me I skip alooooot when the drama is boring and there's nothing worth watching. Overall if you are looking for something to laugh together with your friends or you need a happy vitamin to laugh by yourself definitely watch this drama it won't let you down!!

A very touching story about a big, non blood related, family, reaching for their dreams and taking care of a guest house at the same time. The emphasis here is on COMEDY.

Content.
- The kind of comedy that makes you feel secondhand embarrassment, face palm or fold double with laughter.
- Beautiful moments between friends, family and love interests.
- The reality behind chasing your dream
- Some really ridiculous adults
- Amazing acting.
- The right amount of romance.

This show was great in so many ways. Although it may feel dragged out sometimes, all the characters had their own special personalities with the realistic touch of being dirty, imperfect, insane, loving and constantly in need of money. The chemistry was good and the back stories were right where we needed them. All the lose ends were tied at the end and left me with a feeling of nostalgia and happiness every time I think back. I hope you will feel the same.

ENJOY!!
