Melancholia Episode 12 Key Moments
Principal Noh Confronts Seung-Yoo
Seung-Yoo’s plans went well as he uses his achievements as stepping stones to regain the reputation they had lost. After his speech, Principal Noh remains composed amidst what’s happening and talks to him.
She asks Seung-Yoo if he wanted a fight, but he keeps his professionalism and stance. Meanwhile, Assembly Sung along with his wife, are bothered that their secrets would be revealed.
On the other side, the sister of Prinicipal Noh contacts Yoon-Soo and affirms that she would cooperate to expose the corruption happening inside Asung High School.
Yoon-Soo is More Important Than Mathematics
Rushing to see Seung-Yoo, Yoon-Soo is very angry about what he did, especially now that he has a good life. However, he admits that in the last four years he gave his all for Mathematics.
Now that he finds Yoon-Soo, he found something more valuable than Mathematics. That’s why even though his career is at stake, he doesn’t care because all he wants is to give justice to both of them.
The parents of Seung-Yoo also worry about the decisions that he makes. Seung-Yoo would like to prove that nothing is going on between him and his math teacher. However, his father says that it’s hard to prove it when Seung-Yoo himself has romantic feelings for Yoon-Soo.
Ye-Rin’s Jealousy
Meanwhile, Ye-Rin feels guilty about what happened years ago, especially the time when she got the key answers for their midterm exams. When she got the chance to talk to Seung-Yoo, she confessed her feelings to him.
Ye-Rin reasons that she gave the picture to Prinicipal Noh because she’s jealous of Yoon-Soo. Seung-Yoo enlightens Ye-Rin that her feelings are not true because if you like someone, you would do everything to make them happy.
This frustrates Ye-Rin more because Seung-Yoo also said that Principal Noh is manipulating her and believes, that it’s not too late to change. However, the principal keeps provoking Ye-Rin and gives her new photos of Seung-Yoo and Yoon-Soo.
Seung-Yoo’s Heartbreak
Ending the episode, Yoon-Soo went to the hospital to see her father, who has been admitted because of pneumonia. It seems that something is bothering Yoon-Soo, but she can’t admit her feelings.
Seung-Yoo also goes to the hospital and checks on Yoon-soo’s father. When he gets a chance to be alone with Yoon-Soo, he hugs her from behind and reaffirms they can start from the beginning.
He also feels that she has feelings for him but is scared to get caught again by false allegations. Seung-Yoo’s heart breaks when Yoon-Soo still decides to leave and stay on what unromantic connection they have.
Melancholia Episode 12 Musings
This episode of Melancholia paraded a slew of heartbreaks, starting from Ye-Rin’s confession up to Seung-Yoo’s. It seems like all of the characters have these one-sided feelings.
We know that Seung-Yoo always wanted to give them both a chance to be happy by being together again, but Yoon-Soo keeps repressing her feelings which causes her pain, too.
I was just hoping that Yoon-Soo would learn to face her true feelings and be positive that everything would go as they have planned. Moreover, Seung-Yoo isn’t a minor anymore, and she didn’t even harass him when he was still a student, so I think there’s nothing to be guilty of.
On the other hand, it looks like Principal Noh is nearing her end as her sister would expose the corruption happening inside her school. In the preview of the next episode, we can see that she was very enraged at what has happened.
Tension keeps boiling as justice is getting clearer in the remaining four episodes of Melancholia.
