If you bail at ep7, you will have given up too soon. You haven't arrived at the real point of the drama yet.

A LOT of people make ridiculous assumptions based on short descriptions, tags. shady rumours, one actor or one previous project from the writer or director. And they do it ALL THE TIME!!! They'll jump all over a drama before it even airs it's first episode. They'll judge it to oblivion, complaining and even getting angry about something that hasn't happened yet. It's actually really a sad phenomenon because all kinds of decent dramas get drawn through the mud this way. And of course, fewer people will even see them because there was so much unfounded but incredibly negative talk before they could even be seen.

Why do people make up their minds and actually have arguments about a drama after reading such a short description? Surely you guys know enough not to pay so much attention to kdrama descriptions or posters or even trailers and tags. They are always misleading or plainly wrong because there's no way that any subtlety can be conveyed in only a few lines. Just keep an open mind, and watch it when it comes out.

Thank you for this review. It's nice to have received new things to think about about as I start my first re-watch. Melancholia will undoubtedly be one of the dramas that I turn to again and again whenever I need a sure thing to lift me up and make me feel a bit better.
