Japanese manga artist Yoko Kamio, author of the popular comic series Hana Yori Dango (Boys Over Flowers, 1992 to 2004), has paid tribute to Barbie Hsu. The Taiwanese actress died at the age of 48 after she came down with influenza-related pneumonia in Japan.
Hsu, also known by her stage name “Big S”, was best known for playing feisty Shancai in the hit Taiwanese idol drama Meteor Garden (2001 to 2002), the first live-action television adaptation of Hana Yori Dango.
