Welcome to Wakiki 2 is a worthy successor to the hilarious season 1, with Kim Seon-Ho shedding his suave charm. He plays the role of Cha Woo Sik, Lee Joon Ki’s (Lee Yi Kyung) high school friend, who after making a flashy yet failed debut as an idol, has turned into an aspiring singer who teaches singing and performs at weddings.

Lee Joon Ki and the Wakiki guest house make a return in the second season. The incredible chemistry between the cast makes this tale of love, friendship, failure and dreams a much watch, and Kim Seon-ho's presence just makes it better.
