Xiao S (Hsi Ti Hsu) previously took a year off from the show 'Ladies First,' which was tailor-made for her and began airing in 2022, due to the grief of losing her sister. Yesterday (13th), both the TV station and Xiao S herself officially announced her return to filming. Earlier, the show's producer B2 (Chen Yanming) also posted about the process of convincing her to return to work, joking that after they made a deal, he hung up the phone immediately because he was afraid she would change her mind.
Last February, Xiao S took a leave from 'Ladies First' to recuperate emotionally after her elder sister Big S (Hsi Yuan Hsu) suddenly passed away from pneumonia in Tokyo. Shortly after, the production team announced that Sandy Wu (Wu Shanru) would serve as a substitute host, and in October of last year, they brought in Qiang Qiang (Lin Jialing) to join the hosting team. Today, Xiao S announced her return to work, resuming her hosting duties on 'Ladies First.' B2 shared the discussion process with Xiao S. He suggested, 'So... shall we finalize this time?' Xiao S replied, 'Um... okay... eh eh... wait a minute... let me think about it...'.
B2 said that Xiao S’s hesitation made every second feel like a year and the air felt frozen for 5 seconds. He said, 'Alright... let’s stop changing the schedule... let’s set it for Friday around noon!' While Xiao S had yet to respond, he quickly added, 'Okay! No problem! We’ll do our best to prepare everything! Don’t worry...' 'Okay, then I’m going to hang up quickly, in case you suddenly change your mind, Bye!' Only then did Xiao S truly agree.
Today, Xiao S expressed her thanks to the TV station for its support, to substitute hosts Sandy and Qiang Qiang for their help, and to Patrick for his efforts to keep the show going. 'I think I should try to start working again, because if I keep giving myself time, it feels like I am endlessly letting myself stay in a low mood! So I’ve decided to start working, but I’m first giving myself a season (three months) of time,' hoping to rediscover the version of herself that she likes. B2 added, 'The three months S mentioned is actually a ‘special project’ we custom designed for her. Please rest assured, in the future 'Ladies First' will continue to bring everyone even more exciting and hilarious content.' As such, this upgraded special edition of 'Ladies First' is being dubbed the 'Host Rehabilitation Journey,' and is expected to officially air in April.
