F4 member Ken Zhu’s appearance of a rounder face in his latest drama Momo Love has been slammed by netizens. “Is Ken Zhu’s face a little too exaggerated? Why is it so different from his previous drama series, Meteor Garden? Is he bloated with air?” But there were also more objective remarks pointing out that his acting should not be overlooked by his chubbier mien.
The new drama’s star-studded cast includes Cyndi Wang, Jiro Wang, and Wong Jing Lun as well.
Currently in Beijing practicing for an upcoming theatre production, Ken’s manager, Summer, said, “He is already used to such comments by everyone. But he is really very pitiful, worrying over his swollen face caused by water retention.”
According to Summer, Ken’s face starts to swell the moment he gets tired and works long nights. The singer-actor had been visiting a nutritionist during the initial stages of filming for Momo Love. She commented that the actor will sport a slimmer face during the later parts of the show.
Perhaps that would help boost the series’ ratings against other rivals. The latest episode of ongoing Taiwanese idol drama Next Stop Happiness scored a record-breaking number of viewers. In it, fellow F4 bandmember Vanness Wu heroically rescued his leading lady from a rapist. The ratings for that episode also surpassed those of Momo Love by 1.64 percent.
