Of Swords and Parasols

See, I usually find the "bad" situations/causes for angst in kdramas to be built up as being much more than they actually are, and often an excuse. (For example, I started Queen of the Game and it was well written and well acted and I liked both leads, but it did the "I will destroy you're family because my father committed suicide and tried to kill me." Which most eat up (as long as he falls for her, of course) but I see as blaming the wrong person.) Thank You and Bali, of course, are two I know I'll dislike for just those reasons. (And in Bali, I suspect I'll dislike Ha Ji Won's character, and I refuse to do that.)
