Da S demoted to do an assistant’s chores for Summer’s Bubbles

For the sake of FTV’s idol drama, “Summer’s Bubbles”, Barbie Hsu had to perform the duties of underlings, such as helping artistes carry their baggages and tie their shoelaces, accompanying them to the doctor and bowing to them to show her respect. She even had to endure the insults of Jiang Yi, who “claimed” that Barbie lacked the qualities to enter the showbiz and, worse still, a slap from Maggie Wu.

These unbefitting actions were necessary for Barbie Hsu, known among her friends as “Her Majesty”, who was to play the lead role from high school years to adulthood. In the beginning, Barbie’s character had to endure many criticisms as a newbie in the industry, thus explaining the “torture” she was being put through despite her status as a superstar.

In addition, Barbie has a complicated relationship with both Peter Ho and Huang Xiao Ming vying for her love, a type of love which the female lead describes as suffocating and abusive.

In order to fulfill the depiction of the lead character as having beautiful black hair and smooth white skin, Barbie has also taken pains to maintain her fair complexion, ie carrying an umbrella during the breaks to block out harmful UV rays. Although both male leads laughed at her in the start, Peter Ho eventually joined her in the activity as the director complained that he was getting too tan for his role.
