Glaze of Love Episode 2

Creating Xiaoqing

Last episode I really didn’t care for the mom much. This episode, I changed my mind. She was a sweet loving mom that admired her daughter’s handiwork from class but reminded her good health was most important. The class was interesting and amusing as the professor had them choose plates and a partner and then break the plate three different times after repairs. I liked the friendly banter between the groups and enjoyed their interaction. I was less impressed with Xu Xiao this time. He gallantly chose Zhao Xiao Cen as a partner but then wanted to hog the assignment. He meticulously put the plate together the first time and was unhappy with their score. For the second repair a piece was removed but they had to bring back a completed plate. Once again he was going to do it solo but Zhao Xiao Cen made it clear she wanted to learn and be helpful. He was surprised and took her to his workplace. There he helped her learn how to mix the glue and tape repairs. She then showed him she could repaint the design. They passed, but Xu Xiao is still unhappy at low marks. The last assignment was again breaking repaired plates but tossing the entire class’ plates in a container. They were challenged to find the pieces of their plate. I liked how the professor demonstrated the difficulty in matching broken pieces correctly from sites. They toured a museum that was beautifully shot. You’re drawn into the ambiance there. The music from the tiled wall and the interaction between Zhao Xiao Cen and Xu Xiao was moving. They are connecting on a whole different level. He surprises her by trying to recreate the plate they were working on in class and asks her to paint the design. She surprises him wanting to name it. He decides to call it Xiaoqing after she turns down his long name choice. A fun moment was when she realized he could see her moments on WeChat and she wants to get rid of goofy selfies.😂
