Eulachacha Waikiki: A Happy Place for the Dreamers

 



Whether you are someone who is busy chasing your dream right now, or someone who is uncertain about your actual dream, the Korean drama "Eulachacha Waikiki" is for you.


Three men run a guesthouse named Waikiki at Itaewon, South Korea. Kang Dong Goo (Kim Jung Hyun), the “CEO” of the place, dreams of becoming a movie director, but he is without luck. Lee Jun Ki (Lee Yi Kyung), the son of a famous actor, wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps but has only been given minor roles. Bong Du Shik (Son Seung Won) is an aspiring scenario writer, who has written a flop online novel so far.

They are facing bankruptcy and barely able to pay their rent when a mysterious baby suddenly appeared. They could have brought her to the police station but decided to keep her until someone comes to fetch her. 

It didn’t take them long to wait because the baby’s mother, Han Yoon Ah (Jung In Sun) appeared to get her back. With no place to go, the three friends offered her to stay in the guesthouse and work for them in return. However, it seems that she has no more luck than the three men. She is a clumsy woman, whose dream is to become a rapper – a talent she is, well, not really good at.


A Drama Full of Laughter

Eulachacha Waikiki guarantees a lot of ‘ROTFL’ moments. From the first episode until the recent ones, there is no down mood. Everything is hilarious, from the characters to their situations.




The Life Lessons

Laughter is one thing, but it doesn’t just end there. The drama also gives meaningful life lessons and inspiration to the viewers. It particularly appeals to those who are having hard a time reaching for their dreams.



A story of six individuals with different dreams and different hilarious situations, this drama tells us to hold unto our dreams and believe.
