Melancholia

High school can be hell, especially if you aren’t considered one of the popular ones. That’s precisely what happens to Baek Seungyoo (Lee Dohyun).

His math teacher, Ji Yoonsoo (Im Soojung), befriends him and helps him uncover his talent for solving complicated problems. Soon rumors begin to circulate that the two are in an unsavory relationship, which causes Yoonsoo to lose her job and Seungyoo to disappear. They meet up years later and decide to take down the school and get revenge.

Death comes for everyone. In this world, after a person hears information about how they die, a death angel comes and kills them. This incites panic, and a new religion, Saejinrihwe, appears. Jung Jinsoo (Yoo Ahin) is the head of this new faith and tells people that the death angels are a sign from God that the end is near. However, not everyone is buying into what Jinsoo is saying.
