Despite the rushed story line in the finale, it's still a feel good ending for our three misfits. They have been through so much together, and even though we don't get to see their movie succeed in this timeline, let's just hope for the possibility of having a Season 2, yes? Soo-ah and Du-shik It…

K-Drama Reaction: Laughter in Waikiki | Episode 19

It's so hard to date in South Korea if you are a celebrity. It's one distinction that separates international fans from the Korean ones.

K-Drama Reaction: Laughter in Waikiki | Episode 18

Let's talk about the real problem with Waikiki. I loved this show so much and I always look forward to watching it every week, but my growing concern is that the show already took so many turns that it lacked substance anymore.

K-Drama Reaction: Laughter in Waikiki | Episode 16

The bond that glues this household together is beyond friendship. That's what I saw when Dong-gu (Kim Jung-hyun) finally accepted Jun-ki (Lee Yi-kyung) and Seo-jin's (Go Won-hee) relationship.

It's Du-shik (Son Seung-won) and Soo-ah's (Lee Joo-woo) turn to execute the toilet humor in this show.

I admit that in this particular episode, I was really not…

K-Drama Reaction: Laughter in Waikiki | Episode 13

Wolfman of Huam-dong I still don't get why Jun-ki (Lee Yi-kyung) is so afraid of his best friend, when he even got the guts to date his sister. Like how on earth do you manage to kiss Seo-jin (Go Won-hee) every date when you are so afraid of getting busted! And Dong-gu (Kim Jung-hyun) should…

He accidentally bumped into his dongsaeng at the convenience store, and because everyone is literally…
