Busy as they are, the Taiwanese stars never fail to make time for each other.  Fan Fan and Barbie Hsu are always supporting each other, whether it is giving each other shout outs on Instagram, or showing their support for each other at stage performances.

Initially at least, local actresses Chen Xiu Huan and Hong Hui Fang did not hit it off. In an interview with local media, the duo claimed that a malicious rumour had put pressure on their budding friendship. This rumour strained their relationship and they were at loggerheads with each other.

Xiu Huan added that they finally rekindled their friendship after a teary Hui Fang cleared the air. Over the years, the pair continued to work together and became bosom buddies and travel companions.

The two started out as competitors at the inaugural talent show, Star Search, organised by then Singapore Broadcasting Corporation. Zoe was the winner of the competition while Chen was a finalist.

The highly successful talent competition kickstarted their acting careers. We loved their on-screen chemistry in dramas like “By My Side”, “Devotion”, and more recently “A Million Dollar Dream”. Judging by this adorable snap that Ah Jie, Zoe, posted on Instagram, we’re pretty sure their off-screen friendship is still going strong. The duo went on a “#awaywithmybff” vacay to Okinawa earlier this year.
