Mellangkollia

Anyone who says this is boring lacks in depth and perspective. Melancholia ( from the title itself, showcases severe loneliness and depression ).

I love how the main chatacters interact without being too overbearing. It provides an out of the norm view of people.

Do Hyun, never fails to amaze me with how he carries characters. He is meant for deep and dark characters.

I can only praise what I've seen so far, starting by the title of this drama, I'm a fellow with some science background and the concept of how to pursue mathematics is just beautiful. Of course there's some other things going on, at the end of the day it's a drama.

I'm giving it the number just because I can relate so well with the feeling as an infinite within a finite, if you know what that means.

I didn't experience any happy ending at all, more because the 16 years of age gap that the two had, apart from the math and despite to the presence of love in between them, you can't close your eyes on the reality which is one will die sooner than the other and the absence will enormously damage the other one, not to mention knowing that made me sad too, about the story and the idea behind it I'll say that it was good enough to make you watch it till the end but at some point it got a lil bit boring moreover it would've been better if it had less episodes.

Among all other K-dramas that I've watched so far this was so new to me, watching a show based on this kind of relationship made me really sad(cuz of the reason i mentioned earlier) whether they achieve their goal or not.

IDK about u but I gave this score cuz I think the emotions that the female teacher has are extremely powerful and much deeper so the male student won't be able to handle all that in the long term and this is another sad truth.

This is not a hot and heavy romance. It is not about kissing scenes or eye candy or anything else you might think of when you think of a romance. The romance is more between the characters and mathematics than it is between the characters themselves.

It is the slowest of slow burns. A beautifully told story, full of complex characters and complicated emotions, portrayed expertly. I felt like I saw the characters in their full humanity, and their struggles were relatable on some level, which is how it drew me in. They didn't overdo the angst or overact the drama. The actors and actresses are masters of their crafts, and the writing and directing were amazing too.

I'm really really enjoying the gentle way that this show celebrates the wonder in being interested in things that are seen as "different from the norm". It also recognises the joy in finding someone who understands you, no matter their age, gender, or creed, and invites the audience to believe that this is also possible for them.

The actors involved must've had to do an awful lot of cramming to have such involved math based detail at their fingertips! And the way they present the emotional nuances has been beautifully shot.
