Chinese actress Bai Lu (白鹿) released a farewell message after the final episode of the historical drama 'Mo Li' concluded its broadcast. It is garnering attention as possibly an expression of her current feelings regarding the various controversies surrounding the drama.

Starring Bai Lu and Cheng Lei (丞磊), 'Mo Li' began streaming on June 9th and recently reached its final episode while maintaining high popularity. Its streaming performance was strong, adding to Bai Lu's representative works. However, controversy also spread, such as the discussion that a body double was used even in scenes where she drank tea, and that her past behavior on variety shows was criticized, leading to a decrease of over 1 million followers on social media during the streaming period.

On the 5th, Bai Lu posted a long message on China's SNS Weibo (微博), bidding farewell to her character, to coincide with the completion of the work. She likened her experience in this work to a 'passing shower,' as if fate had paused for a moment, and quoted a line from the drama, 'The path to be taken is ahead, not behind,' as her farewell words. She then sent encouragement to the heroine, saying, 'May you continue to walk your own path lightly, as if singing.'

While it is reported that she has transitioned to a new system centered around a personal studio, following the expiration of her exclusive contract with the entertainment agency she belonged to for approximately 10 years, this message is being perceived as an indication of her current feelings regarding the series of controversies and her determination to take a new step.

Meanwhile, the official Weibo account for 'Mo Li' recently released a making-of video, which includes scenes of Bai Lu diligently practicing wire action and her taking on filming while holding her lower back, which has an old injury. Additionally, the director of the drama, Lin Yu-fen (林玉芬), revealed at a PR event that Bai Lu completed the filming to the end despite suffering from poor health and praised her professionalism.
