A few thoughts and observations
If you treat it like a buffet, Waikiki season two is enjoyable to watch. The episodes consist of several outlandish scenarios for each character, there is no need to watch whole episodes to follow the story. Feel free to pick and choose parts that tickle your fancy. For me it the first and final few episodes. The previews greatly aided help to decide if there is anything you may like. The actual overarching story is a little dull.
The bread and butter of the drama is the exploration of every day awkward moments, that are easy to relate to. For example. you can’t remember someone’s name, yet they know yours. The comedy is great and some new characters are fantastic, a favorite being Yoo-ri.
