A very refreshing surprise - reminded my why I love K-drama

I loved this drama! You need to watch it. It’s more about competition for grades, and scams where the wealthy and privileged buy preferential treatment for college admission, than it is about an affair between a teacher and a student. Misleading info about this show: 1) The title “Melancholia” sounds depressing. This isn’t a comedy, but it was not depressing, either. I binged 16 episodes in three days. I couldn’t do that if it was depressing. 2) There is no physical relationship between a student and teacher. I’ll admit a couple of episodes seemed slow, but the other episodes more than made up for it. I loved the ending, which is more than I can say for a lot of K-dramas. I was so impressed by what happened in a couple of later episodes that one scene made me cry happy tears, and another gave me goosebumps. Several people have asked if they should watch this, and I say definitely yes.
