MDL Link:http://mydramalist.com/korean-drama/1206/what-happened-in-bali

Synopsis:

Lee Soo-jung is a travel agent who is seeking her good luck in Bali after a harsh and unforgiving childhood. She meets Jae-min, Kang In-wook, and Young-joo in Bali, three seemingly perfect people entangled in a triangle of love. When Lee Soo-jung finds herself back in Seoul, her desire for success leads her to seek Jae-min for a job, unwittingly setting off a course of events that further complicate the love triangle. What Happened in Bali is a drama that reveals the inner materialistic desires of people. It reflects upon the sometimes ugly (but truthful) side of man where nothing matters more than money.

Have you watched this? Do you plan to?

I feel like I should give it a try but even though I am a huge fan of So Ji Sub, I haven't seen it yet. I am so torn! One one hand, it stars my Ahjussi! So Ji Sub ssi! On the other it is a dark and tense melodrama. On one hand, I've read great things about the plot; the writing, the mature themes and the great character study of this drama. On the other, I am a bit spoiled for the ending and that always makes it hard for me to watch any drama. This was very popular during it's airing; starting at about 15% and ending at almost 40%.

Someone totally spoiled the end for me, so I will not be watching this.

hmmm, I am unsure. I find melodramas hard because my natural inclination is to finish any drama I start, but if it's going reflect life and get murky and complicated and unhappy then I'd rather not - there's enough rubbishy-life happening all around me, I like drama for its escapism. Reading the synopsis has me screwing up my face in a 'hmmmma I'm not sold' type manner (not the most attractive of faces I'll admit). If it get a really really good buzz, then I tend to have another look at it.

It's been sitting on my list for a while now. I might get around to it eventually because it sounds really good.

I love her too. I especially love her appreciation for orchids and the loving way in which she subliminally depicts the female ummm....nether regions. She was awesome in every way.
