Melancholia Episode 2

Love for math VS Corruption

Second episode was not as good as the first one and the main problem was the two main plots intertwining in a 'peculiar' way. While I love how the story between the two mains proceeds and I liked the fact that they showed the pressure that some gifted students have to go through, because of their parents excuse of wanting the best for them, the corruption plot is not developed in a great way. To be more precise, it seems a bit out of place, like watching a different series. The atmosphere changes completely from one scene to the other. At some points you feel like watching a more light hearted series, with some social commentary and then it feels like watching a makjang like drama (like SKY Castle). It was still a pretty good episode though, with some extremely visually pleasing scenes and it has potential to be even better.
