A drama that demands an obsessive watch
this drama did something to me that no drama ever has...it made me feel things and think about it over and over after I completed watching. It's a drama that even months after watching, I find myself coming back to and looking at different scenes for the feels they give. Outside of my personal love for WHIB, for starters, it is M E S S Y from start to finish, but in a way that compels you to keep watching. You're not ready for what it'll do to you.In any case, let's get to a review, I'm a sucker for a male lead that gives the female lead very big "you're mine" energy. This drama has the epitome of that. If you want to see a man actually go crazy over a woman this is truly the drama for you. The passion from the male lead had me in a grip. Before you (or he) even know it, he's deeply in love (obsessed, fated, ???) with the female lead. And yet somehow makes room for a love square whose end cannot be easily predicted (although after watching for a bit, my gut starting telling me what direction things were heading...I hope you watch and see if you get similar premonitions...). I want to say it's a beautiful story, but honestly it is nice. It has very well considered sentiments that include, finding what's truly important in one's life, the pain of being too rich and the pain of being too poor, and the heart wanting what it wants. I could truly talk about this drama for ages (like formal, if you watch and wanna talk PLEASE message me) but I highly recommend you watch and see how it treats you.
Story: Interesting and not predictable, a bit dark and some moments are a little dated makes beautiful commentaries on society
Acting: Major shoutout to Jo In Sung because he did his f*cking thing with his acting in this O M G!!! Even still, the cast all had strong acting did well together- everyone made you believe they were the characters they portrayed.
Music: OST is a littleeeee repetitive but in my opinion the songs capture the emotions of scenes perfectly
Rewatch Value: hard to say, I've found myself watching the nice moments between the two leads quite often, but as a whole, potentially a little too depressing to rewatch
Thanks for reading <3 Happy (or in this case, not so happy) watching!

I'm sorry but the two male rival leads had more chemistry than any of the supposed couples. Every time, they would stare each other down, I wanted them to kiss lol... I like the story better in the first few episodes. After that, it became ridiculous and repetitive. But for the most part, I was entertained. None of the characters are particularly likable and after a while, the female lead annoyed the heck outta me with her indecisiveness and lack of pride. The soundtrack was repetitive but the music was catchy to me. The ending wasn't too much of a plot twist since I read spoilers but man what an ending. Overall, this had potential but the writing sucked and the story started to drag and drag.

Paixão, Ambição e Corações em Jogo
What Happened in Bali (2004), da SBS, é um dorama que mistura romance, suspense e tragédia de forma intensa e cativante. A trama gira em torno de quatro personagens cujas vidas se entrelaçam em Bali, uma ilha paradisíaca que acaba se tornando o palco de suas lutas internas e externas. Na busca por amor, felicidade e realização, os personagens se envolvem em um triângulo amoroso repleto de traições, obsessões e ambições pessoais, levando a um desfecho chocante e inesquecível.O grande mérito deste dorama está na sua habilidade de criar personagens moralmente ambíguos, cujas decisões impulsivas e falhas os tornam surpreendentemente humanos. O romance aqui é cru e realista, muitas vezes doloroso, refletindo o lado mais sombrio das emoções humanas. O cenário exótico de Bali serve como um contraste marcante com o turbilhão emocional que se desenrola, e a tensão cresce a cada episódio, culminando em um final que deixou uma marca profunda nos fãs.
What Happened in Bali é, sem dúvida, um dos doramas mais impactantes de 2004, e sua mistura de drama psicológico com romance devastador o tornou um marco na televisão coreana. Mesmo anos após sua exibição, é lembrado por sua abordagem ousada e não convencional, elevando-o ao status de clássico cult.
