Making people laugh is no easy task, which is why these K-Drama sitcoms stand out. They feature talented actors who will not only have you laughing but will also make you enjoy every episode because all of these shows feel good and even have little life lessons you can take away. So, let’s get to know these four sitcoms you can stream right now on KOCOWA+ with multiple subtitle options!
“Welcome To Waikiki“
Yes, this is one of the newest K-Dramas that arrived on KOCOWA+ this August, and it’s also one of the funniest and most beloved Korean sitcoms in recent years! Starring Kim Jung Hyun, Lee Yi Kyung, and Son Seung Won, the drama follows three struggling friends who run a failing guesthouse called “Waikiki” in Itaewon. Their lives take a chaotic turn when a single mother and her baby suddenly show up, and they end up living together.
Every episode brings a new comedy-of-errors situation, often with special guest appearances that make the show even more fun. This is a sitcom I’ll always recommend if you’re looking for a good laugh, because it blends over-the-top slapstick with genuinely touching friendships. From Lee Yi Kyung’s wild facial expressions to Kim Jung Hyun’s perfectly dry humor, expect to laugh in almost every scene!
What makes this show extra lovable is that it’s not just about the funny situations; it’s about the characters you end up rooting for, no matter how silly their adventures get. And the fun doesn’t stop there! “Welcome to Waikiki” even has a second season, with new characters played by Kim Seon Ho and Mun Ka Young, joining Lee Yi Kyung for more hilarious misadventures.
“High Kick“
When we talk about legendary sitcoms in South Korea, “High Kick” will always be at the top! This iconic series became a household name thanks to its funny yet relatable slice-of-life storytelling.

The story blends family life, neighborhood gossip, and even a sprinkle of mystery as the dog’s uncanny instincts lead to all sorts of hilarious and intriguing situations.
The magic of this sitcom is how it balances wholesome warmth with lighthearted comedy. Lee Soon Jae’s comedic delivery is effortlessly brilliant, which is why it’s no surprise that he won the Daesang at the “2024 KBS Drama Awards.” And the “dog knows best” concept gives the writers endless room for funny and creative scenarios. Add in a heartwarming supporting cast, and you get plenty of endearing moments that capture the humor and chaos of small-town life. “Dog Knows Everything” is a feel-good watch that will make you laugh while also reminding you to appreciate the little quirks in everyday life.

It follows two former stars—a once-beloved actor and a top producer—trying to keep up with the ever-changing entertainment industry. With traditional TV fading and digital media on the rise, they take a leap and start their own content production company.
What makes “KICKKICKKICKKICK” so entertaining is its fast-paced humor and ability to turn even the smallest, most mundane situations into comedy gold. From work mishaps to random daily accidents, every moment spirals into a hilarious chain of misunderstandings. The main characters’ contrasting personalities and the cast’s perfect comedic chemistry make all their teasing and bickering even more fun to watch. This is the kind of sitcom that doesn’t need over-the-top setups—just sharp writing, spot-on timing, and plenty of misunderstandings to keep the laughs coming.
