What Happened in Bali (a review)

Maybe it is too late to write a review about this drama which aired in 2004. It's been almost 10 years ago. But why do I keep to write it? Because this drama was so DAEBAK!! I decided to re-run watching this drama after followed the recently drama which played by Jo In Sung, That Winter The Wind Blows. Then I remember his role in drama What Happened in Bali (WHIB). I have watched WHIB when the tv local, Indosiar, broadcasted this drama when I was still at junior high school. As a kid who haven't grown up yet, absolutely this drama has no meaning for me. One thing that I remember the most is the tragic ending. And when I keep searching about this drama, I knew that this drama got the best rating in that time. That's why no matter what is it, I must watch this drama again to get the answer why this drama got a good feedback from the audiences.

At first, Young Joo came to Jakarta to find her lover, Kang In Wook (So Ji Sub), who dumped by her because of his unsuitable background. Then they go to Bali to have a vacation together for the last time before Young Joo get married. But everything turns out to be an awkward since Jae Min's appearence. Then they go around Bali with a travel agent, guided by Soo Jung. In here, Jae Min then realized, that Young Joo have a special affair with In Wook. He get mad and wreak his anger to Soo Jung.

Soo Jung want to start a new life in Korea after being cheated by her boss. While In Wook being transfered to the main office, which absolutely Jae Min's family company. He is even live next door to Soo Jung's place. Jae Min and Soo Jung also being connected after she has no option other than beg a loan to him to pay her brother's debt.

The Boundaries of Someone's Religion

Kebetulan kemaren lagi ada "waktu luang" buat browsing-browsing geje. Karna emang aku kalo browsing itu-itu aja, alhasil nyasarlah aku di tumblr Mbak Windy Ariestanty. Di situ ada tulisan yang cukup menarik. Darisitu aku jadi tertarik buat ngeshare di blog aku.

Seperti yang kita semua tau, di dunia ini ada banyak sekali kepercayaan. Manusia memang memiliki hak masing-masing untuk memilih kepercayaan mana yang mereka pegang. Islam percaya bahwa Allah SWT itu ada dan berpegang pada Al-Qur'an sebagai kitabnya. Kristen percaya pada Tuhan Yesus dan berpegang pada Kitab Injil. Dan ada juga yang lebih memilih menganut kepercayaan Atheis yang tidak percaya akan adanya Tuhan. Dari masing-masing kepercayaan yang dipilih itulah, manusia menjalankan kehidupannya sesuai dengan ajaran agamanya.

Setiap agama pasti akan mengajarkan kewajiban-kewajiban yang harus dijalankan oleh umatnya dan larangan-larangan yang tidak boleh dilakukan. Tapi dari tulisan yang aku baca dari tumblr Mbak Windy itu, aku sebagai penganut agama Islam merasa tertampar.
