Tigers Sniff the Rose Episode 2

He makes rouge AND organises a rescue. What exactly are the guards doing?

🐯 This was one of those episodes where I initially thought not much had happened, then started listing everything and realised quite a lot had happened 😂 More backstory, a misunderstanding, homemade rouge and a princess having an absolutely terrible time near steep drops.🐯 We learn more about his family: his mother was killed, his father was left disabled, and they’re living without official registration. She recognises his father as a renowned scholar, which makes their life hidden away in the mountains even more intriguing. Clearly, there’s a lot more to unpack here.🐯 Naturally, she overhears him saying he’s flattering her to get to the capital and leaves before hearing the rest of the conversation. Please stay for the whole conversation before losing your temper. I’m begging 😭 Meanwhile, she’s avoiding the officials looking for her, and I’m still curious about exactly why.🐯 My favourite scene was him making rouge for her. Last episode it was fireflies, this episode it’s homemade cosmetics. These quieter moments are working for me, and the leads are currently level in my favourites.🐯 Then a tiger spooks the horses, her carriage goes off a cliff into the river, and the search party apparently forgets how rivers work. Surely we could work out where she might have ended up rather than wandering about hoping for the best? At one point she’s right there and they still don’t spot her. Who recruited these people?!🐯 Him finally finding and saving her was my OMG moment. After all that searching, wolves frighten her and she nearly goes off another drop — this time towards spikes. Thankfully, he’s behind her. Can we please keep this woman on flat ground for five minutes?🐯 Another 8/10. The rescue-search logic tested my patience, but I enjoyed learning more about his family, and the rouge scene was a lovely highlight. Still curious, still watching, and increasingly convinced the guards need retraining.
