Older Hero vs. Younger Villain | |
| Flavors of Youth / int_14fe0d94 | comment |
Older Hero vs. Younger Villain: Calling Shui Jing outright malicious might be a stretch but she is definitely the haughty younger rival to older Yi Lin. | |

Title Drop | |
| Flavors of Youth / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: "Small Fashion Show" gets mentioned in the last sentence of the eponymous segment in reference to how the sisters worked things out. A near thing in Shanghai Koi; one of the last shots of the segment is a flowerpot with "I love Shanghai" on the side in English. | |

| Flavors of Youth / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Limo wanting to go to Yangpu to be with Xiao Yu, but failing to admit this to her (plus not wanting to jinx it in case he doesn't get in despite hard work), and his working his butt off to the point of not finding time for the tape she gave him both contribute to their separation. | |

Chekhov's Gun: In Shanghai Koi, the path to Limo's house is shown to be heavily cracked and passersby are warned about it. Shortly afterwards, Xiao Yu sprains her ankle on it, necessitating a piggyback ride from Limo home. 9 years later, it's still in disrepair. | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Shui Jing is never unpleasant to Yi Lin, but everything she says to her has a definite air of condescension, and it becomes clear that she's eager to seize the spotlight and doesn't care what happens to Yi Lin in the process. | |

Ambiguous Ending | |
| Flavors of Youth / int_42215dce | comment |
Ambiguous Ending: Shanghai Koi ends with a woman showing up at the guesthouse run by Pan and Limo, who Limo apparently recognises, and the two exchange smiles. She's implied to be Xiao Yu, but the segment ends shortly afterwards without showing her face or any words spoken between the two, leaving it unknown. Subverted by the stinger, which confirms that it is indeed her. | |

| Flavors of Youth / int_4b17763f | comment |
Technology Marches On: Two In-Universe examples in Shanghai Koi: Xiao Yu notices Limo listening to music on a CD player, and he says that he doesn’t listen to tapes anymore because the music quality is so much better on CDs. This stings Xiao Yu, especially when Limo doesn't remember the last tape she gave him. Limo asks Pan if he has a cassette player to listen to a cassette Xiao Yu had given back in high school, prompting the latter to rhetorically ask him what year it is now. | |

The Casanova: One of Yi Lin's boyfriends is introduced early on and is shown to be the type of guy who is always on the lookout for the next young talent to woo. He shows up to congratulate Yi Lin on another successful fashion show, but he starts flirting with Shui Jing the instant he sees her, even giving her a rose out of the bouquet he got for Yi Lin while she's holding it. Later, as Yi Lin is jogging, she sees him driving with Shui Jing. | |

White-Dwarf Starlet: Subverted. Yi Lin knows that her time as a top model is limited and that younger talent will eventually replace her, but actually being confronted with that reality causes her to work herself to exhaustion and, eventually, injury to try to keep up. She eventually gets her head straight with Lulu's help and is able to continue getting modeling work. | |

Homage: Like in 5 Centimeters per Second, there is a scene in Shanghai Koi where one of the protagonists uncovers in a box of old possessions something of significance to the Love Interest. Xiao Yu walking past Limo on the overhead bridge to go home in 2002 is composed similarly to Taki and Mitsuha's near-meeting in Your Name. | |

Dramatic Irony: Limo's father is willing to humour the boy's desire to go study in Yangpu District because the shikumen are slated for demolition. Since Shanghai Koi's opening scene has Limo looking down on the still mostly-intact shikumen, it was evidently not to be. | |

You All Meet in an Inn: Subverted. The movie opens with all its major characters in the same waiting area of an airport, and in The Stinger they're all shown coming together and leaving at the same time, but each story's characters never interact with those from the other stories. | |

Ambiguously Gay: When Yi Lin tells her manager Steve not to hit on Lulu, he exaggeratedly retorts that he doesn't hit on girls. Whether he actually is gay, was merely saying it to reassure her, or something else is going on, we never find out, and there are no other definitive signs of his sexuality. | |

Food Porn: Xiao Ming's childhood memories of San Xian rice vermicelli being prepared, both the visuals and his descriptions of the ingredients, make for a positively mouthwatering experience. Subverted in a later scene where, as an adult, he orders the same dish at a restaurant, noting that while it's not bad, the factory-precise ingredients and the stinginess of their amounts rob the dish of the things that made it so appealing to him. | |
