Glaze of Love Episode 15

Tempers flare

When they get to the kiln they discuss the difficulties in firing and the placement of bricks in reconstruction. Since it is an ancient skill and modern kilns are much easier to regulate, there is debate on the wisdom of the expense of firing it up and keeping repaired. Do the benefits outweigh the cost.?This skill is unique and the biggest argument in its favor is that the pottery from this kiln will be unique. Nothing else compare with it. The master of the kiln has only one apprentice and he doesn’t want him using the kiln. He is utilized most as the master’s caregiver and while he thinks he has been giving his apprentice wisdom, the apprentice is not in agreement. They are at odds because a porcelain piece the apprentice created, was not only rejected but thrown to the ground to shatter. Xu Xiao goes to talk to the apprentice and XiaoCen stays and chats with the master. Both have a good conversation but find they have inadvertently taken sides. XiaoCen understands the master because he is very like her mother and this is where Xu Xiao gets in trouble with his return comment. What was interesting this episode was Xiao Cen making their relationship public and YueXin not sure if she wants an older bf at all. He very sweetly confessed but he headed immediately to first kiss which she was not ready for. She tries to hide from him the next day but he goes to her directly and tells her to be clear if she doesn’t like him so she won’t feel pressured. She fears that him being older means more experience with girls and she doesn’t know how she feels about that. She hasn’t rejected him but she is not sure how to accept him either. Their teacher noted the various couples and just grinned at them all. Xu Xiao and XiaoCen overcome their awkwardness after disagreement and talk it out. He apologizes and she agrees he was right. He has the apprentice’s porcelain shards in his bag and I am hoping these two can work their magic repairing it for him. What sets this apart from other college dramas is the cinematography of the area and beautiful porcelain shots. The class is a fun group of students who learn and have fun together. There are small cliques of special friends but they do not exclude others and this group is refreshing in that they get along collectively without jealousy or bias. They individually and collectively work to learn new skills and to become capable young adults. This is simply pleasant and wholesome viewing.
