“My Dearest” Pauses Filming After Zhao Lusi’s Depression

(Above) Gaining widespread fame through her performance in Hidden Love <偷偷藏不住>, Rosy had showcased her remarkable acting skills in the ancient drama The Story of Pearl Girl <珠簾玉幕> alongside Liu Yuning (劉宇寧).

Recently busy with the filming of modern romance My Dearest <戀人> with Peng Guanying (彭冠英), alarming news broke that actress Rosy Zhao Lusi (趙露思) was rushed to the hospital due to serious health issues, with filming already halted for days on end.

Holds Herself to High Standards

Netizens noted that Rosy’s parents were frequently by her side on set days before her health deteriorated, and her two beloved dogs were entrusted to the care of her friend Smile Wei (魏笑). Meanwhile, Chinese paparazzi speculated that she might be suffering from depression, bringing up signs of her struggles.

Shocking Photos Reveal Her Poor Physical State

Rosy had been filming My Dearest at Xianghu in Hangzhou, and she reportedly needed supplemental oxygen to continue shooting on the 14th. On the 17th, she collapsed from exhaustion and was rushed to the hospital after wrapping up the day’s filming; Rosy’s studio then announced on the 18th that she was undergoing treatment. Footage of Rosy being wheeled into the hospital showed her unable to sit upright without assistance, with her assistant having to support her neck while she used oxygen.

Netizens pointed out unusual behavior in recent days, such as Rosy’s parents constantly accompanying her on set. On the day she was hospitalized, she struggled to get from her car into a wheelchair without help. Her father assisted her into the wheelchair, after which she covered her head with a jacket, clearly indicating her poor physical state. Fans later revealed that her father had reassured them in fan groups, stating that Rosy was resting well and that there was no need for excessive worry.

Signs That All Is Not Okay

Chinese paparazzo Liu Dachui (劉大錘) explained how Rosy’s high standards for her acting career might have led to her recent breakdown. When she joined the filming of My Dearest, she noticed discrepancies from the original script and proposed changes, but was turned down by the director and producer.

Furthermore, the ratings for The Story of Pearl Girl fell short of rival Esther Yu’s (虞書欣) Love Game in Eastern Fantasy <永夜星河>, adding immense pressure. Over the past six months, Rosy also faced intense public scrutiny over alleged plastic surgery. The compounded stresses reportedly led to severe depression, ultimately taking a toll on her physical and mental health.

The last behind-the-scenes photos of Rosy on My Dearest were from the 16th. Despite the cold weather, she was dressed in a thin black sweater and clutched hand warmers before filming began. Though she forced a smile during filming, netizens remarked that something seemed off. The production of My Dearest has since been suspended, and the crew has been dismissed; the decision to resume filming or not will be made after the Lunar New Year.
