Im Soo-jung and Lee Do-hyun have been cast in the two lead roles in the tvN drama “Melancholia,” which will air in the second half of this year.

The series is set in a private high school. Im plays a math teacher who shows her stressed students how to navigate life’s challenges and get into a good college too.

Lee plays a math genius who was admitted to MIT when he was 10 but dropped out when he was 12. Back in high school, Lee is an academic failure who chooses to be an outsider.
