Vincenzo
Vincenzo’s funny ensemble can be found in the people of Geumga Plaza. From a smoking hot lawyer to a bunch of unconventional and zany store owners, there are a lot of wacky encounters to enjoy.

Crash Landing on You
Crash Landing on You is a rom-com loaded with fun characters, especially from North Korea. Among the characters, the group of North Korean soldiers really take the cake in providing laughs and amusement. Loyal and hilarious, they each have distinct qualities: being an avid K-drama fan, being very handsome, being a huge critic of capitalism, and being the young baby of the group. The wiretapper later becomes an honorary member of the squad. While you might expect soldiers to be more serious, you’ll be won over by the funny soldiers.
Prison Playbook
Prison Playbook is a slice-of-life series about inmates and prison guards at a prison. Although there are some serious moments given the setting, you’ll definitely laugh a lot. Each of the characters shine and their stories are quite touching. Some of the inmates form a family-like community with a lot of support for one another, but also a lot of amusing bickering. Characters like a looney drug addict, a kind-hearted gangster, and a crafty engineer will win your heart with their quirky antics and cute bromance.
Good Manager
Good Manager follows an accountant who starts working at a large company in order to embezzle funds. However, he ends up fighting for the employees’ rights. His team that helps him come up with crazy plans are full of intriguing characters who become like a family. The bromance that develops between the archrivals is especially adorable and funny. From feeding each other to surprise kisses, theirs is arguably the best romance. The ensemble also heaps on funny parodies and inside jokes for a comical experience.
The Fiery Priest
The Fiery Priest is about a hot-tempered priest who searches for the truth behind the death of a fellow clergyman. The ensemble is brimming with absurd and hilarious characters, from the good guys to the bad guys. Many characters have very different past lives such as a nun who used to be an ace gambler, a priest who used to be an actor, and a delivery man who hides his ability to fight. With parodies galore, the excellent chemistry between the characters supports the winning combination of action and comedy.
Hospital Playlist
Hospital Playlist portrays the lives of five friends who work as doctors at the same hospital.

You’ll find yourself falling in love with the cast.
Welcome to Waikiki
