Welcome to Waikiki

10/10 is my rating. This is a 2018 South Korean television drama with 20, 60 minute, episodes. Main cast:

📍Kang Dong-gu (Kim Jung-Hyun) wants to become a movie director. He is kind hearted but unlucky.

📍Lee Joon-ki (Lee Yi-kyung) He is the son of a famous actor who hopes to mirror his father’s success but is only able to land small roles.

📍Bong Doo-sik (Son Seung-won) A mostly unemployed freelance writer.

📍Han Yoon-ah (Jung In-sun) A single mother with no family or resources.

📍Kang Seo-jin (Ko Won-hee) An aspiring journalist and Dong-gu’s sister.

📍Min Soo-ah (Lee Joon-woo). A beautiful girl and famous model who is Dong-gu’s ex.

Three friends decide to go into business together in Waikiki and buy a guest house. Their business is failing until one day an unlikely source of fortune, a single mother and her baby, show up and things turn around.

spoiler 🚨 I loved this for sheer comedic appeal. It is a little like Seinfeld in that the characters do the most outrageous things. I seriously have not laughed so hard since I do not know when. There is friendship and romance and that is also great but the comedy steals the show. My daughter and I both thought it was funny so the humor spans generations. If you need a good laugh then treat yourself to this wonderful series.
