Drama Stage Season 1: Anthology (2018)

Anthology is a freaking love story that we might dream of but will never happen in our damn life.
One was a surprisingly good actor and his voice was just.... hawt
He is already in his middle 20s but he went on well with being a student and I loved it.
The chemistry between the two main characters were something I don't even have to mention (Duh man duh
The only thing that annoyed me (SPOILER ALERT)




should have shown a little grown up of him at the end... It was such an open ending...... UGH

anyways for a romance lover I watched this about 5 times? and Im still not sick of it. RECOMMENDEDDDD

I like this drama because of its youthfulness. It embodies a period in a person's teenage life when s/he feels like everything and everyone is just against her/him. The characters are young and the main character is relatable. She knows that because she's young, people tend to trivialize her pain. I love how the characters found solace in each other but also paved their individual ways. I like how realistic it is and how in the end, it just leaves the feeling of acceptance and nostalgia. It left the thought that happiness can mean different things and be found in different ways.

I accidentally found this drama while trying to find Kang Mina's drama and turns out that tVN also hv short drama like KBS and most of it are rly good T__T I rly like short drama especially when the story is about teenager's life. This drama is a good drama and i actually kinda hope tht both of em meet again at the end but huhuh nvm. ANDDD I really like Jaewon's acting!!! And the ost from this drama is written and sing by him and its rly good! Anyway the main actress in this drama, ive never heard of her but her acting is rly good tho! Cant wait to see her next drama and also Jaewon's next drama hehehe.

It's all about your junior high school or high school moment when you first feel you are bond to someone. More than just a first love, this feeling is all about having a "personal connection" and story only both of you understand.

I have to admit that the female lead character is quite annoying. She and her rebellious actions are very irresponsible. However, the story had been told beautifully that we are able to empathize with each character here.

The movie is beautiful and it has strong romanticism yet still feels really relatable. I think I'm not the only one who got drown into nostalgia even though I didn't experience exactly the same story. The music and cinematography really suit the setting. The church scene is also so strong that it touches me right in the heart. I can feel his sincerity when he wants to love God.

However, some things are not carefully made. From the years those characters born to the mobile phone they use. If it's really 16 years ago, they don't have that kind of mobile phone yet.

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.
