Lee Yi-kyung to return for second season of Woohoo Waikiki

Lee Yi-kyung (Red Moon, Blue Sun) has confirmed he will reprise his role as Lee Joon-ki in the second season of Woohoo Waikiki. The second season will pick off from where season 1 ended, when we saw a lovable trio of young men work to rescue a guesthouse from financial ruin and closure and grow close to a mysterious young single mother.

Lee has been earning plaudits for his dramatic turn as a detective in the currently airing MBC thriller Red Moon, Blue Sun. While he’s been captivating as a serious detective hunting for answers, Lee’s also great in comedic roles so it will be nice to see him stretch his comedic chops once again. It’s not yet been confirmed if Lee’s costars, Kim Jung-hyun (Time), Jung In-sun (My Secret Terrius), and Sohn Seung-won (Woohoo Waikiki) will be joining him for season 2.

It seems unlikely that Sohn Seung-won will be returning, considering that he was arrested in Korea on the 7th for an offense that occurred January 4 — a hit and run that he committed while driving drunk (no one was injured in the accident). Worse yet, his driver’s license had already been suspended because after being causing an accident in Seoul while driving drunk on December 26, 2018. Despite only being 28, he has three prior drunk driving offenses. Though Sohn initially claimed he had not been behind the wheel, reports in Korea have confirmed that a police investigation revealed that Sohn had indeed been driving but asked his passenger to take the blame. Let’s hope Sohn Seung-won can get the help he needs.

Sohn needs counseling as soon as possible. he should get some tips from fellow kim jung. Lee's character was the good one in waikiki. Rest was just annoyance.

Re: Sohn Seung won, yeah, rehab and long term counseling is needed.

With the way that drinking to excess is portrayed in shows, there has to be some truth in that happening in Korea.

I remember my college years and 20's when I thought nothing of my drinking and then needed to re evaluate. Sometimes you have to have someone tell you you have a problem.

Hopefully this will be the wake up call he needs (possibly of a destroyed career) to get outside help.

It's a good thing Lee Yi Kyung will reprise his Lee Joon Ki character. Without Lee Joon Ki Waikiki won't be the same for me..

My favorite drama of the year! So excited to see it return! So bummed about Sohn Seung Won, though. Seriousy, how hard is it to not drive when you're drunk??

Wish I watched the first season before learning about Sohn Seung Won's drunk driving problems. He really needs to wise up and get help.

I like Lee Yi Kyung after seeing him in RMBS. It's good that he can handle funny and serious roles. Might attempt to watch the first season for him. ;A;

... such bittersweet news. It makes me think back on Woo Hoo Waikiki, and the hilarious trio trying to get ahead, and how they were played by young actors striving to go forward who have been caught up in their own demons this past year...

I hope both Sohn Seung Won and Kim Jung Hyun are going to be able to get the help they need, and have a good 2019.

As far as I know, only Lee Yi-kyung has been offered to return as lead. I know it's impossible for Song Seung-won now (and rightfully so) and Kim Jung-hyun is a long shot, but the ladies should be allowed to return. I don't want Jun-ki's relationship with Bacca ruined ala the Let's Eat series, and I want to see more of Soo-ah, Yoo-na, and Sol too.

I'm not sure I want this if he's the only one coming back. I loved him to pieces in the first season, but the dynamics between the characters was what made the show for me.

I doubt anyone else is coming back - actors like Shin Hyun-soo and Moon Ga-Young are being courted for season two. Joon-ki was my favourite character, and although I did the series, I would be interested in picking it up again for him.

I think what worked with Woohoo Waikiki Season 1 was that the cast had very good chemistry and took time to build the characters. I'm excited for the new additions of Kim Sun-Ho and Moon Ka Young, I can picture them both in comedic roles.

Jung In Sun was the weak link in Waikiki...she's such a dishrag. Please, no! But glad to see the rest. Lee Yi-kyung is so funny, yet he's so good in Children of Nobody.
