This is one of the best romantic-comedy dramas I've seen. Every episode is hilarious but at the same time, it touches the issues people in their 20s face with a positive outlook. I love how the characters are individually weird and yet, they're all passionate with their dreams. The characters get themselves in messy situations a lot but I love how they got each other's back. This show also portrays the struggles of the people in their 20s and how they're all still trying to find their place in the world. They all know it's gonna be tough but they never stop doing little things to get closer to their dream and it's admirable. This is a feel-good series I recommend.

I was a little hesitant to watch Eulachacha Waikiki just because it didn't look like it would have much going on when watching trailers. BUTTTT after watching some "funny moments" on Youtube, I decided it looked humorous enough to give it a shot. And man oh man am I happy I did! I laughed during every single episode and not just "laughed" but truly had full belly laughs that would make my sides hurt and my eyes tear. I found the comedy to be extremely lighthearted and truly hilarious. The balance of comedy with the slice-of-life drama was perfect - when something got "serious" there was always something to help lessen the blow. The romance was predictable (I figured out who would be paired with who early on), but I didn't mind the predictability because the story was told in such a fun and light way, it made me happy to watch everything unfold. I loved watching the friendships (old and new) between all the characters as well as watching all the romances develop. I also adored baby Sol. Every time she smiled or laughed or simply came up on the screen I would want to cuddle her because she was so cute!

In regards to the actors, I think everyone did a pretty great job with their roles. The only person I had a bit of trouble with was Jung In Sun - she was a good actress, but I think she had some trouble showing us the inner turmoil and mixed feelings her character was having in regards to her love interest and so it made her difficult to read and interpret, especially early on. I think her acting and representation of her character significantly improved in the last quarter of the drama when compared to when she initially rejects her perspective love interest more toward the beginning of the drama.

What I really loved about this drama aside from the comedic aspects of the story telling, was how there was no "bad guy." There wasn't someone who was ridiculously malicious or evil for the sake of moving the plot. Everyone had well-rounded characters who all made mistakes and tried their best to fix them or make amends. The conflicts weren't drawn out or bogged down with melodrama, instead they resolved things relatively realistically (with of course, the comedic flare). Another point I'd really like to make in recommending this drama would be that every conflict was resolved. The drama is definitely slice-of-life, showing us how we might fight with our loved ones and how inevitably, we figure things out without super grudges or vendettas.

If you are a fan of the ABC Family, Baby Daddy, or simply enjoy slice-of-life with romance and some serious comedy with a non-rushed ending, I would highly recommend Eulachacha Waikiki. You won't regret it and you absolutely won't be able to stop binge watching it, so maybe start on a Friday night. ;P

This show is absolutely hilarious! I cannot stress that enough. I’m keeping it simple and brief. Every episode had me dyinnnnnnnng of laughter. It’s truly unique in the way it portrays comedy. I don’t know any other show like it. The cast is is great and you really bond with them all and grow to love them and their journeys.
I haven’t found a show as funny as this yet. For me, it’s a 10 all the way through. Here’s to hoping there’s a season 2!

The first thing that came to my mind when I was watching this drama was “Who writes these things?”
Undeniably funny, there is no way you can sit through these performances and not be moved by their humor. A big bow to the screenwriters their talent is without effort but still so deep. This drama is the funniest I’ve ever watched and it’s not only the actors that make it funny but the storyline itself was really well thought of and handed to the audience for amusement only. If you’re having a bad day watch an episode of this you won’t regret it , you won’t even want to stop honestly this was really great about to go watch it again

This drama surprised me so much. Like the title says "Laughter in Waikiki",you're gonna laugh since the first episode to the last. This is not your typical romantic story. The comedy is way above the romance. And the cast fit the characters perfectly,they all had their flaws and unique characteristics that makes you fall in love with all of them.
I also wanna give a big thumbs up to the ost,everytime "Waikiki wonderlaaand" came up,i was turning my volume all the way to 100 lol. I even added the song to my spotify list,that's how much i loved it.

So i really recommend giving it a try,It's the perfect drama to watch when you want something refreshing and something to destress.

Welcome to Waikiki 1 is the funniest comedy drama I have ever watched. It is so hilarious and funny. Casts are darn amazing, excellent acting.

Lee Yi Kyung is so full of energy !! Haha !

The only thing that was a little off was when Joon Ki gets into a regular acting role and his relationship staggers a bit. That's when the fun atmosphere gets a bit affected but hey you won't dwell in the dullness for too long. Haha !

If you are stressed or bored or need some laugh, GO FOR THIS DRAMA !! You won't regret it !

Slapstick comedy done right

We should keep in mind comedy is always subjective before starting this show. Personally, the comic element of the show mostly falls under slapstick or satirical forms, it may not be for everyone taste. So, instead of going through reviews i suggest give it a try and decide for yourself.

Coming to the story, 3 average young men with the help of their sister running a guest house while barely making their ends meet but still have sprit to pursue their dreams; throw a kid with single mother in to the equation and chaos starts. Most of times its about these 5 dealing their life struggles in comical way, there are some heart tugging moments too. Do watch it for entertainment not for story.

Acting wise, all the main cast has done good job capturing essence of their characters but it baby sol who steals the show with her cuteness for me. If you want to spend weekend at house or sick or just want to off your brain and enjoy TV; this show is definitely binge worthy to put a smile back on your face.

This drama is, hands down, one of the most beautiful dramas I have ever watched. When I said I wanted comedy, this was what I was looking for. It's ridiculously funny, and the way the characters screw themselves over is funny.
Story: (10) There was not one boring moment in this drama. Each and every moment made me laugh so hard. The storyline was also hilarious.
Acting/Cast: (10) I think the cast worked together very well. Their chemistry looked very real, and they all looked very close. Because of how seemingly close they seemed, the acting was also very entertaining to watch.
Music: (9) I don't really focus on music but there wasn't a moment where I felt that the music wasn't fitting.
Rewatch Value: (10) A fat ten, I think I will rewatch this drama a lot from now on. I have just finished this drama today, but I am already aching to rewatch it. Since there isn't much drama and much things for me to get salty over, I enjoy this drama.
Overall: (10) Overall, a 10. I think this drama is so fun, and if you're in a bad mood, it will definitely cheer you right up. It will make you laugh so hard that you'll start to cry. I hope everyone can enjoy this drama like I did!

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.

-E

Bah

I had high expectations for this drama, I read that it was one of the funniest of all kdramas. I watched it all and it's true, there are unforgettable scenes that make you laugh out loud. But they are the minority. Often the gags are repeated 3 times making them very boring for me. Many situations are absolutely obvious as well as the plot in general. The various characters are great (apart from one) but in the end the stories are nothing much. But, above all, I came to hate bong dong-goo. I couldn't stand him anymore at the end. how dare he think he can decide the lives of the women around him? And I couldn't stand all these women submitting to this psychopath. A toxic character that the drama justifies instead of condemning. In short there are very good things in this drama and things that are unbearable for me. I wouldn't watch it again but that's my subjective taste.

Not really my cup of tea

I like my reviews in bullet points...

What I liked
- The baby Sol is adorable
- The issues of the characters were sometimes relatable.

What I didn't like
- Very animated, repetitive, and "anime" type humor. At no point was I fully laughing because the humor wasn't really my thing: f.e., the beard joke became very redundant.
- Han Yoo Nah as a character is rather dull because she wasn't given much else than being a single mom and baking. The fact that she is a single mom is super cool, but I wish they would've explored that further.
- One of my biggest pet peeves is angry bossy male characters who act this way, especially towards women.
- This series was dragged out too much.
