She filmed Almost Lover in December 2024 and collapsed on set, she was diagnosed with conversion disorder. The treatment she received from her former agency (KU) was the worst you can imagine. Her activity was frozen by KU until November 2025, when she signed with Orca. From November 2025 until now, nine months have passed during which she has not joined a filming crew. In these nine months, she secured 20 new endorsements, held three concerts, secured four intellectual properties (RosyDoeDian, Apple Gal, Strawberry Gal, Sisi), released vlogs, and continued her charity work. She also produced NPC, a short drama featuring talents from her own studio, as she manages several young artists. Lusi stated that she will not sign onto any project unless a full, complete script is provided, aiming to avoid a repeat of what happened during the filming of Almost Lover. Almost Lover was also presented at Youku conference to look for investment yesterday. The director, his crew, and FatBear production company (owned by the director's wife) were removed and could not be found anywhere, not even on the drama poster shown at the conference. She cleared her schedule and was ready to start filming in August, but for unknown reasons, that drama was shelved. It was not Farewell Letters. Consequently, Zhao Lusi made a bold move and publicly asked for original scripts and novels. She received many, selected nine intellectual properties, has already produced one, and has started preparations for the second one, where she will be the female lead. Zhao Lusi is a strong woman who is not afraid to take new steps in her career. After being credited as a drama stylist for Love's Ambition and winning an award for it, she continued her work as a producer and now as a director. She sets trends that others follow. I wish her great success, she truly deserves it.
Loved the first episode. Great acting.Yeah, definitely not a chick flick, and not for the average MDL viewer.…
Very true, I enjoyed it though (I am a lady.) One of my small critiques was how male-centered the show was, but I understand why: the 70s were just Like That (lol), and Korea back then was very patriarchal. Lots of action. Ruthless villain protagonist. The only female characters I did like in season 1 was Bae Geum-Ji and Ikeda/Choi Yu-Ji.

What he actually said was more like, "you're so intelligent, being a maid, it's a pity (it's a pity you're a maid)."
He thinks she's way too talented and intelligent to just be a maid, and it's a shame because she could be so much more (like his wife ahem).
And we ALL know this man already has it bad for her 😭
Put any plans on hold and focus on getting back to full health as soon as possible! ❤️
