Melancholia (2021)

Master's opinion

Initially got into this drama for the male lead as well as for the maths but there wasn't much math in the drama after first few episodes. There was more of the politics involed in the schools which i have seen in quite a few dramas.
This drama did make me fell suffocated and the nature of the adults yet showed me that students are not all pure and innocent as they put themselves as it can be considered their cheat sheet. The ending was not so shocking, somewhat predictable.
And i liked the teacher and student relationship and how it went. This was one of the few teachers who showed resistance the most to there relationship , which showed maturity.

Overall .. Not bad

Overall not bad!

I didn't mind the relationship. I don't know why people leaving comments are outraged about that. People crush on their teachers all the time and no one actually acted on it at the time. But, I didn't like the actress. She's kind of irrelevant past the beginning. I get she had a tough time, but she's just miserable and boring. I have no idea why any of the men like her. She talks like she's half dead. But I did enjoy parts of this drama. The math. The lead actor. Principal Noh. She does a great job being evil. The overall kdrama is worth a watch. I always like a good revange story!

The title of this drama is wrong it should be PEDOPHILIA.

Watching 2nd ep. until now weird to ship an engaged woman with a high school kids. Let alone the other characters in drama, looking at the way the high-school kid and math teacher being shipped together in the absence of her fiancé and her blatant not being interested in him mentality screams the idea of cheating and possible cheating and PEDOPHILIA. Do not forget my emphasis on the word "possible", i am not saying he's her love interest but, that is how it is made to look.
Also, i do not understand y the makers of K-drama has to showcase women being uninterested in the current spouse as normal thing? I mean, if u r not interesting in marriage or getting married then y let urslf reach that stage in the first place? Nobody is forcing u to marry that particular person. Stop waiting for sm1 btr and until then sticking around with current option. If u don't like it then just leave. Don't indirectly normalize cheating. Be honest to urslf and ur partner. Atleast, ur partner then can find someone btr than u.
Also, in the first episode itself we know who most probably is going to be painted as the villain here, it most probably has to be her current fiancé as always.
