we're losing too many, too quickly. 💔 this duet turned me into a crying mess the first time I heard it ten years ago. watching Wheesung sing with his dad about how hardship will pass & you'll bloom again... makes me cry for a very different reason today. RIP. -A www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-NH...

24 years ago, Meteor Garden started a global phenomenon of massively successful Hana Yori Dango adaptations without which we literally would not be here. *points to handle* And that iconic show made the equally iconic Barbie Hsu beloved to millions around the world. RIP to a legend 💔
