If I were to compare Anthology to something, it would be a daydream - fleeting and brief, but something you like to return to again and again, if only for the feelings it brings you. It's a one-episode drama, so I honestly didn't know what to expect but I knew not to set my expectations high. I was, however, pleasantly surprised by how it all turned out, even if there are points I would've liked to explore more. One is also a passable actor in this, even if I found his earlier scenes a bit awkward - he gets better as the hour passes. Shin Eunsoo plays a similar character to her previous work, Vanishing Time, wherein she wasn't quite endearing but had her reasons.
Overall, while Anthology didn't have much room to work with, only having over an hour, I thought it did quite well in evoking what it feels like to have a first love and managed to bring the fluff. Definitely watch if you'd like a quick break and first love stories.
