Unskippable!

Sometimes i felt that I want to skip some parts but I couldn't!

Every second is just worth to watch and funny to the bone.

The romance sometimes bring a heartwarming ambience that I love so much.

And also the ending is sooo satisfying, baby sol is sooo adorable.

Firstly I found Dong Gu's character is so annoying, but as the character develops, he is the most attractive for me- at least.

But I'll only recommend this drama only to 21+ age people😅 you know why

The plot twist is unpredictable even some is quite predictable, but still not boring at all.

When I was watching this, I really need a break time from laughing too much and feeling second hand embarassment😅

Plus I love Dong Gu and Yoon Ah's relationship so much, it brings a lot of warm for my little heart, they are so precious to me🤧

Overall, it's so good but you should lock your room and make sure that people can't hear your loud laugh🥲

Side splittingly funny with perfect cast

This is by far the best written, best acted, best cast, and the funniest comedy I have seen anywhere in a very very long time.

It is hilarious almost every scene. I'm not exaggerating when I say it's knee slapping funny. I cried tears and my stomach cramped up from laughing so hard.

Lee Yi Kyung is born for physical comedy, and his facial expressions are the absolute highlight of the hilarity. Honestly.

The entire cast did such an incredible job that it seems they truly had been friends for years. They played so well off of each other, it was so natural. It made the show what it is, which is as close to perfection as it gets.

You'll watch it a lot.

i like the story of living together in one house ,
this drama recommended to watch with your family,
comedy of this drama is good to ,
i already watch the season 2 it's good too

The cast did an amazing job too, I got to admit Jun Ki's character was annoying to me during the start of the drama but as it progressed, his character became likable to me and I feel thankful for that,
that makes Jun Ki my fav character in this drama

i like to rewatch this drama if i need something to makes me laugh,
overall i like it 8,2

Funniest drama ever. I enjoyed a lot. If you are looking for a drama that is hilarious ''welcome to Waikiki'' is the best for you. Besides the fun, there is plenty of heartwarming scenes. The baby was a sweet too, she's adorable and I've never seen a behaving so well. I bet you there is no way of getting bored the whole 20 episodes. I can tell you, the chemistry of the characters are adorable and hilarious. If you're in need of a good laugh, Welcome to Waikiki is the absolute best choice. ENJOY!!!

I just watched the final episode and let me tell you I kept rewatching the last scene because I didn't want to finish it. This drama is the epitome of comedy. It made me laugh so much. The acting was phenomenal and the main characters were very funny and interesting. The only character I found kinda boring was Yoon Ah. It's not that I didn't like her, but she's my least favorite character. The music was also amazing and there were so many funny and random songs that made a scene funnier.
Of course like any other dramas, this ones has its faults too but to be honest, the amazing chemistry between the cast and the overall vibe I get from this drama are enough to make me forget about all of its faults. It had romance too but I like the fact that the comedy was always the main point of the drama.
The rewatch value is 10000. I will definitely watch it again.

It took me a while to finish this drama. It's not because of this drama sucks but I can't find myself ready to part with it. I always feel that I want more and more! I don't want it to finish yet.

The story was about 3 good friends who were running a guesthouse together. Together they had been through a lot and trying to pursue their dream together to create a movie. With the mix of the crazy ex-girlfriend, the little sister and the suspicious yet klutz woman and her baby, the groups made up a lot of funny mishaps and accidents. Most of the comedies contain some slapsticks and some satires which might not be your preference to watch.

All the actors are really great. I put off my hat for Lee Yi Kyung, Son Seung Won, and Lee Joo Woo especially. I got addicted to imitate Yi Kyung every time he said 'gaja!' (let's go) with his weird accent. And the scene between Du Shik and Min Ah were never dull. They were like the tension relief when the drama got too melodramatic.

I kind of feel that the ending was rushed and not properly made. I kind of thinking that this drama can go a little bit longer than it could be. But overall it's a good drama with a high rewatch value.

Friends Coreano

Non sono la prima e probabilmente non sarò l’ultima che fa questo confronto però siamo sinceri è così. anche se questo devo essere sincera è “meno spicy”, ma sono onesta anche qua, a me non frega nulla dello “spicy”. allora la storia è abbastanza prevedibile, come anche le coppie che si vengo a formare e tutta la plotline ruota attorno a questa guest house che non si è ancora ben capito come stia in piedi visto che sembra ci siano ospiti solo ogni tanto e attorno a questi tre inetti che sognano di sfondare nel mondo del cinema, uno come attore, uno come regista e uno come sceneggiatore. a questo cast di inetti si aggiungono le controparti femminili, la sorella del director wannabe (che è una reporter wannabe e che ad un certo punto riesce a diventare una reporter vera e propria), una ex modella, truffata da un tizio e un single mother, con figlioletta appresso. e nulla la storia ruota attorno a questi sei personaggi e attorno alla loro vita quotidiana, con incontri strani, balli con tartarughe e corsi di cucina. insomma chiaramente è fatto per intrattenere e far fare una risata agli spettatori, ma è anche un modo per toccare temi interessanti… con una risata. l’unico mio dubbio è il perché di una seconda stagione, perché questa finisce con questa wired found family che è cresciuta e maturata e che si sta muovendo in maniera preponderante nel mondo… insomma si chiudeva bene, quindi non comprendo perché continuare. bene, vedetevela per farvi una risata, perché merita

It's not a masterpiece.

It's a goofy piece of work, but made purely for purpose of laughter. As it kind of felt like male version of Age of Youth at first, but it didn't take too long to realize, lol heck no this one has nothing to do with slice of life elements. Everything is ridiculous and that's okay, just know what you should expect.

If you're not a person who likes taking things too seriously, this drama is for you.

*Not sure if this is a spoiler from now on, read at your own risk*
The reason I'm not giving it a 10/10 is because, yeah like I said, it's not a masterpiece. It's a great show to binge watch it but following this one weekly felt stuffing time to time, like, it kind of was hard to follow when you had to wait a week between episodes.

Yay, my first review!

I watched this Korean drama two years ago when it came out. About the first 5 parts came out, until then somehow I was not interested but then I just thought that I give it a chance. And I did very well! I watched those 5 episodes at once, because I couldn't leave it for the next day. The first part interested me so much that I started another and another. By the way, I rewatched the show about 8 times and I still laugh.

But to the point:
This is not just a comedy. Imagine all the comedies you have ever seen in your life, put them together, and this drama will be created. Every minute and every second I laughed. I have never seen such a well-played series that has not only amazing actors but also a perfect script. This is probably the only series where I love everything. The actors certainly didn't disappoint!
I know that everyone doesn't like this kind of humor. It's OK. You'll find something else. If you don't like comedy, don't watch it (or check it out and maybe you start to like comedy, haha).
OST is great and you will surely love it as you watch it, because all the songs fit the show incredibly!
Moreover, at the time I watched this series, I had a difficult time. Then it gave me great motivation for life.

So before you go to watch this series I advise you:
- think of nothing and take everything you see now with humor, because it is a comedy and the comedy is supposed to be fun and crazy.

It's a mix of great humor and sweet (crazy) romance.

PS: There is also a second series, which I looked forward to for a year. It is also worth it! Go check it out as soon as you complete the first series. : -)

- Bye-Bye! ♥

It's been I while since I laughed so hard like a crazy person in a drama. xDDI think everyone will like this even your friends who don't like k-dramas.I loved this so much...I just want more and more episodes :'(I know Kang Dong-Goo (Kim Jung Hyun) is the main guy, but for me it was Cheon Joon-Ki (Lee Yi Kyung), he was really important here xD. Kang Seo-Jin (Go Won-Hee) was one of my favourites here and of course the legendery REBECCA! I belive the cast had so much fun doing the drama. I really can't describe how good this drama was, it was so hilarious, I was dying from laughing so much.I related me and my sisters with the 3 guys, we want to follow digital art and maybe do a movie together, but sometimes we are unlucky...the drama really cheered me up with this, even if you are unlucky you can do it! Also the drama made me wish for friends like this, togheter in your house having some funP.S: I need a season 2 WITH THE SAME CAST

Fun and easy to watch

Every single episode made me laugh out loud, the characters are lovable and the situations are just hilarious.
The story isn't too deep, this is something you would watch to feel good and relax without having to think.
One thing i loved is that it didn't rely on the usual character tropes, it actually made all of them more likeable, there's not a single character you actually dislike.
A thing i didn't like is that sometimes there are entire episodes that don't add anything to the plot, and then other episodes when it seems like they wanted to do something big but they fell short, or it was too rushed.
I can see myself rewatching this many times in the future.
