#memory of encaustic tile

[sunset-sprinkles]

Recently watching Chinese dramas have been my priority! While I come across many dramas that I love everytime I start I feel I am gonna relieve those youth days and romances through the beautiful storytelling. No matter how many people feel different about it, I have always loved the essence behind these dramas there may be similarities and cliches, but every drama has an emotion to tell behind it there are so many lessons on daily life I feel so fulfilled every time I complete one. Recently I started watching 'Memory Of Encaustic Tale' , i thought it to be a cute -happy drama that's also confined in a small neighborhood with extremely cosy and warm relations which is gonna teach me a new lesson on friendship and love. But I never imagined it is gonna make me weep cry and mad with emotions? I am just so heart broken to even move through episodes of 15 onwards ! We humans are so fragile isn't it - we are so used to people and habits - we probably find the real meaning of emotions when they are taken away from us. It made me cry buckets and I still don't have the guts to move forward with the episodes although I will ! I had no expectations when I started it and now it has already left a void in my heart I had to write this to let off those heavy feelings from me , even though I would recommend it to everyone. Will love to analyse it only if I have the guts to . I am impressed!!

When I finished Romance of he Condor Heroes, I needed to play something else. But I was too lazy to log back into Viki so I checked a couple things I had saved Youtube links for. But Til the End of the Moon didn't hit me right and Memory of Encaustic Tile straight up hit me wrong, so what's a girl to do?

Lost Tomb 2 of course!

Memory Of Encaustic Tile

Summary

he year is 2002. There are 5 friends who live in the same neighborhood and attend the same school. They practically grew up together. Their parents also know one another. Some of them are good friends of each other and work as antique and cultural relic restorers in the palace museum.

Among the 5 of them, Shao Xue shares a special bond with Su Nian who lives just next door. He is 2 years older and she regards him like a brother. She is also close to Zhang Qi who is her classmate. As time passes and they grow older, the feelings among them also start to change. Su Nian and Zhang Qi start to see Shao Xue differently and begin to fall for her. But they hide their feelings and Shao Xue is oblivious to it all until much later.

Shao Xue’s dream is to venture abroad and explore the world. Su Nian prefers to stay put and wishes things will never change. But when tragedy strikes, hard decisions have to be made. Over time, the 5 friends also have different paths in life that they have to take once they leave school and become adults. Will Shao Xue and Su Nian’s relationship endure the passage of time and circumstances?

Review

Memory Of Encaustic Tile (昔有琉璃瓦) struck me as a nostalgic drama and it has been some time since I watched one. Thus, I thought why not and decided to just dive in without expecting much. Frankly speaking, this kind of drama has always appeared similar and predictable to me but they can still be interesting with proper plot execution. Whether this one managed to secure my vote as a great drama will be detailed in my Memory Of Encaustic Tile review below. But if I have to summarize my opinion in one word, I would say that it is slow-moving.

Heartwarming But Long-Winded

Memory Of Encaustic Tile gives viewers a very nostalgic and heartwarming feel. The friendship among the younger generation as well as their parents will touch you as you watch. Chances are you will cry for some of the scenes. You will be affected by both the sadness and heartening moments as the characters journey through life.

However, while there will be tears, I don’t find it to be as strong a tearjerker as Go Ahead which is also another coming of age drama. That one is more emotionally moving as the drama includes the characters’ experiences and bonding as kids. Memory Of Encaustic Tile begins with the kids already in their teenage years. Their lives are pretty much stable with loving parents who care a lot of them. A tragedy only occurred around the halfway mark. So, for the first half of the drama, you will merely see a bunch of kids with their typical teenage life that revolves around school, exams, crush, mischiefs, and friends.

Personally, I find the drama to be too slow paced. After 8 episodes or so, I can’t wait for the characters to grow up and give us a more interesting story. Maybe because the plot is just too predictable for me to have the patience to sit through it without skipping. It gets boring after a while to watch a few teenagers plodding through life. I guess if you like slice-of-life youth dramas, then Memory Of Encaustic Tile might fit your preference. But if you want something more from the plot, then this would be lacking.

A Subdued Romance

For those who are looking for a full-fledged college romance drama like To Fly With You or even Our Secret, I wouldn’t think Memory Of Encaustic Tile would fall into that category. Firstly, the couple got together pretty late in the drama. For the most part, their relationship has a brotherly-sisterly feel to me. Add in the various friendships among the characters, the drama does not have a strong romance flavor to it.

Secondly, the story to the main couple’s romance is not exactly well-executed either. There is a lot to digest once they started dating and problem cropped up. There are time jumps here and there that the story seems rushed towards the end. So, it is hard to figure out at times how long time has passed for some scenes. It also feels inconsistent with the slower pacing that dominates a substantial part of the drama.

Perhaps if you like a big brother to lover transition to your romance, then Memory Of Encaustic Tile will seem sweet. The guy really cares about the girl and they do like to be around each other. You would also know that they will end up together as you watch. Thus, it is predictable in that sense. That is why I also wondered if it could have been more interesting if the screenwriters have made it less obvious who the female lead would end up with. After all, 2 guys are in love with her and the time period stretches more than a decade.

Acting And Chemistry

I think the overall cast did a good job with their respective roles. Yukee Chen is still convincing as a high school student despite her age. I have only seen her in xianxia and historical dramas prior to this such as Ashes Of Love and Heaven Sword And Dragon Sabre. So, it is a change for me to see her in this drama with a teenager role. But she still managed to give life to the character with her cutesy antics and expressions. She projected a very bubbly Shao Xue to the viewers to give us the feel of a very energetic and cheerful lass.

However, some may feel that the actress’ portrayal is overdone and exaggerated as she is trying too hard to be cute. Some scenes may appear so but overall, I’m okay with her acting. At the very least, she doesn’t put me off. You would have to watch a few episodes to see if her portrayal resonates with you as her character largely remains that way for the whole 34 episodes.

As for Lin Yi, I don’t think his role is a challenge for him. After all, he has played a student before in Put Your Head On My Shoulder and Love Scenery. He appeared calm and cool as Su Nian and his emotions can be seen from his eyes. Although he is much younger than Yukee Chen, the age gap is not obvious at all in the drama. They have pretty good chemistry together but I wouldn’t term it as top notch. At most, they are sweet rather than sizzling as a couple.

My Verdict – Okay For A Youth Drama

I think you really need to like this genre to find Memory Of Encaustic Tile to be a great watch. You need to like the slice of life feel and coming of age stories to be able to relate to it. Yes, it is heartwarming and will make you teary. This is where this drama shines as it depicts the daily lives of the various characters who are neighbors and good friends. Not many dramas can effectively stir your emotions and this one happened to be able to do so up to a point.

However, it is also a little slow-paced and predictable. You wouldn’t enjoy it if you expect more to the plot and want things to move faster rather than be stuck with tales of school and teenage life for more than half of the total episodes.

In addition, it is also not a romance-heavy drama. In fact, I find the romance part falling flat with too much melodrama. The guy’s selflessness isn’t necessary and even seems a little cruel to me. Some may find quiet sacrifice as romantic but it is still too cliche to my liking. Furthermore, a guy who doesn’t know how to support his girl’s dream and talk things over is not good optics for a viewer when it comes to an ideal on-screen boyfriend.

Overall, I would give this Memory Of Encaustic Tile review a score of 7/10. It is okay to watch and remember to have a few pieces of tissues within reach. The fast forward button is always there if you start to find it boring like me. You won’t miss much even if you scan and skip. I would say forget the romance and just enjoy the interactions among the different characters. The romance wouldn’t make you swoon unless you really have a thing for childhood friend-cum-big brother vibes to your love story.
