In Tigers Sniff the Rose (尚公主), Meng Ziyi’s veil hat trails almost to the floor, and viewers keep asking a practical question: did women in the Tang era really cover themselves that tightly? The screen image is striking, but it folds two different headpieces into one. A short gauze net called Weimao (帷帽) and a […]
At the Peony Banquet, Myolie Wu does not enter as a guest who needs attention. She plays Mu Ningshuang (暮凝霜), the Grand Princess in Tigers Sniff the Rose (尚公主), and her first look does the talking. A lotus crown sits high on her head. Loose hair falls behind her shoulders. A dark green sheer robe […]
Watching Tigers Sniff the Rose (尚公主) should feel like entering a glittering Tang court, not a palace-themed photo shoot. Meng Ziyi (孟子义) and Li Yunrui (李昀锐) reunite after Blossoms of Power (九重紫), so anticipation is high. Yet the drama’s central triangle—Mu Wanyao (暮晚摇), Mu Ningshuang (暮凝霜), and Yan Shang (言尚)—often plays like a courtyard quarrel […]
Watching Meng Ziyi (孟子义) in the first five episodes of Tigers Sniff the Rose (尚公主) is a curious experience. The drama moves quickly, yet the romance feels almost too quick to trust. Tigers Sniff the Rose’s mood shifts without warning, and Yan Shang’s (言尚) kindness looks warmer than it really is. At first, he seems […]
Six episodes in, Tigers Sniff the Rose (尚公主) does not rush. Its court schemes move in polite circles; Mu Wanyao (暮晚摇) and Yan Shang (言尚) circle each other with careful glances. Yet the pull is quieter. It sits in a shabby courtyard, a bowl of herb paste, a sister who knows which leaf soothes a […]
Why would a princess wear a peach on her head? In Tigers Sniff the Rose (尚公主), Meng Ziyi (孟子义) plays Mu Wanyao (暮晚摇), a royal woman whose peach-shaped crown catches the eye at once. It looks strange beside the familiar phoenix crowns and flower-hairpin crowns of many period dramas. The design is not a writer’s […]
On Oct. 23, Tencent Video will launch Tigers Sniff the Rose (尚公主), a 40-episode costume drama directed by Qin Zhen (秦榛) and written by He Fang (何妨). Meng Ziyi (孟子义) plays Mu Wanyao (暮晚摇), a royal daughter who refuses to be a pawn; Li Yunrui (李昀锐) plays Yan Shang (言尚), a poor scholar with a […]
Tencent Video (腾讯视频) has a 40-episode costume drama that treats romance like a dangerous board game. Tigers Sniff the Rose (尚公主) comes from Yi Ren Kuikui (伊人睽睽) and the same-name novel. It stars Meng Ziyi (孟子义) and Li Yunrui (李昀锐) in their third collaboration, with Myolie Wu, Xu Haiqiao (徐海乔), and Tang Xiaotian (唐晓天) joining […]
When watching Tang Dynasty-set dramas, have you ever wondered why some female characters wear hats with long veils covering their faces—or even their entire bodies? These headpieces, often called “face-covering hats” in period shows, come in varying styles: some veils drape to the shoulders, others sweep down to the ankles. But what lies behind these […]
