Melancholia - Unspoiled Review

The Story

 

A genius math student and his young teacher get swept up in accusations of inappropriate behavior.  But the scandal is really just a coverup for years of corruption between school administrators and rich, influential families.  Four years later, the pair will reunite in an effort to prove their own innocence and expose those who used them for their own advantage.  Can they stand up to their powerful opponents or will their lives be ripped apart again?

Should I Watch

 

Melancholia - Unspoiled Review

“Melancholia” is a slow-paced and bittersweet drama of longing and revenge.  It portrays the beauty of math and it’s relationship to art, life and love. While romantic love is at the very root of this story, it is seldom at the forefront.  Don’t expect cute, romantic dates or steamy love scenes.  Instead, the main story focuses on political and educational corruption, and a desire to expose those who use students in their own power games.   The strengths of this series lie in its thought provoking, powerful message  and interesting and complex characters and relationships.    I give “Melancholia” a 9 out of 10 ramen.
