Hong Kong actress Linda Chung's heavy workload has finally taken its toll on her body, causing her to faint on the set of 'All That is Bitter is Sweet'.

The actress' health is said to have declined since her debut in 2004 after filming too many projects and having such a heavy workload with little opportunity to rest.

According to insider reports, Chung has had a difficult time exerting too much energy and raising her voice as it caused her to feel light-headed while shooting for her role in the drama.

Chung stated that it has been a challenge for her to take on her role in 'All That is Bitter is Sweet' as she rarely filmed period dramas.

"This is my first time playing a pharmacist," Chung said. "Since there are a lot of medical terms to recite, the script is even harder than those of historical dramas. I spent three to four times more effort for this role and I felt really tired."

Chung revealed that she also had to fly to Korea to film another project, fitting it in her already busy schedule. She said that during that time, she had suffered from fever, colds and cough, but didn't have time to get treatment for it.

After coming back to Hong Kong, she continued filming the drama with her condition, lasting for two to three weeks, until one day, she fainted on set.

"At first, I thought it was my vision getting worse, but then I fainted in the studio one day. I knew that my eyes were the final warning for my worsening health," Chung related.

It is a good thing that the actress received a lot of support from her co-stars during the time her health has declined. Her parents have also advised her to take a break once in a while.
