It took me five whole months to finish this drama but it wasn't that bad as it might seem from the time I spent watching it. It's a slowburn drama, definitely not fit for binge-watching although I realize now that I was taking too much time with it. ?

The green aesthetics of this drama were on point, the green colour suited the mood truly well. I want to praise the costume designers for a great job with choosing the clothes, especially for Ji Yun Su and the director Noh Jeong Ah.

The OST was sooo good. I really liked it, most of the songs had English lyrics and the soundtrack was slow and soothing too.

Out of the characters my favourite was the teacher Ji Yun Su, she was an amazing teacher and definitely didn't deserve all the stuff that happened to her, especially when she was just trying to help a student find his hidden mathematical talents again.

I was a bit disappointed that the second part of the drama was focusing so much on the politics, the Math museum, and the scandal with the exams. I would love to see more of the relationships of the characters instead. But the scene at the end was really heartwarming and wholesome. ?

My final rating for Melancholia is 8.5/10.
