My Date With A Vampire II - Cast

Cast

• Eric Wan as Fong Kwok-wah (simplified Chinese: 况国华; traditional Chinese: 況國華; pinyin: Kuàng Guóhuá), the protagonist. At the end of the first season, the buddha Vairocana granted Fong his wish to travel back in time and be a vampire no more. In this season, Fong marries his first love Sau and has a son with her. Later, Ma Dan-na comes to find Fong, seeking his help in destroying Cheung San. However, Fong and Ma are still no match for Cheung San. Cheung San bites Fong and Fuk-sang and causes them to transform into second generation vampires. Fong takes on the identity of his grandson Fong Tin-yau after the latter dies. His special ability is superhuman speed.
  • Eric Wan doubles as Fong Tin-yau (Chinese: 況天佑; pinyin: Kuàng Tiānyòu), Fong Kwok-wah's grandson, who resembles his grandfather in appearance. Fong Kwok-wah has never met his grandson during those 60 years. Fong Tin-yau works in Hong Kong as a policeman and has Wong Jan-jan as his girlfriend, but also treats Ma Siu-ling as a close friend. His personality is more open and cheerful as compared to his reserved and quiet grandfather. He is killed by Larry in England. After his death, his spirit realises that he is not meant to be in this world (since he only came into existence after his grandfather travelled back in time in the first season). He bids everyone farewell and ascends to Heaven, passing on his identity to his grandfather.
  • Eric Wan doubles again as a third character, Fong Chung-tong (Chinese: 況中棠; pinyin: Kuàng Zhōngtáng), Fong Kwok-wah's avatar in his previous life. Fong Chung-tong was a general in the Qin Dynasty and was the lover of Ma Ling-yi. When Qin Shi Huang became a vampire, he was afraid that Ma would destroy him so he forced Fong to kill her under the threat of having Fong's entire family executed. Fong killed his lover unwillingly and committed suicide to join her.

• Joey Meng as Ma Siu-ling (simplified Chinese: 马小玲; traditional Chinese: 馬小玲; pinyin: Má Xiǎolíng), the heiress to the Ma family. The character is similar to the one in the first season, except that Fong Tin-yau tried to woo Ma before Wong Jan-jan became his girlfriend. Fong also gave her a nickname "Witch Ling" (巫婆玲), since Ma Siu-ling's career as a ghostbuster is not kept secret, as in the first season. She falls in love with Fong Kwok-wah (who impersonates Fong Tin-yau). Ma and her friends attempt to stop Nüwa from destroying the world later, but Cheung San, who has a crush on Nüwa, starts killing her loved ones. To prevent herself from losing her powers due to shedding tears, Ma asks Fong to perform the Forgetting Love Curse (忘情咒) on her. However, this awakes Ma's previous avatar, Ma Ling-yi.
  • Joey Meng doubles as a young Ma Dan-na (simplified Chinese: 马丹娜; traditional Chinese: 馬丹娜; pinyin: Mǎ Dānnà), Ma Siu-ling's grandaunt. Like in the first season, she appears to her grandniece in the form of a ghost, giving advice and guiding her. In a battle against Cheung San, she sacrifices herself to increase her niece Ma Ding-dong's powers and her soul is destroyed as a consequence.
  • Joey Meng doubles again as a third character, Ma Ling-yi (simplified Chinese: 马灵儿; traditional Chinese: 馬靈兒; pinyin: Mǎ Líng'er), Ma Siu-ling's avatar in her previous life. Ma Ling-yi was the ancestor of the Ma clan and she was the one who brought the divine dragon under her control, using a nine word mantra to summon it to destroy evil beings. She served Qin Shi Huang as a sorceress and fell in love with the general Fong Chung-tong. When Qin Shi Huang became a vampire, he was afraid that Ma would destroy him so he forced Fong to kill her. Ma thought that Fong had betrayed her love so she laid down a curse for her descendants, forbidding them from shedding tears for men or they will lose their powers.

• Simon Yam as Cheung San (simplified Chinese: 将臣; traditional Chinese: 將臣; pinyin: Jiàng Chén), the progenitor of all vampires and the primary antagonist of the second season. He lived long before the world came into existence and does not need to feed on blood to survive. He met the goddess Nüwa, who named him "Cheung San", which literally means "general and minister", in the hope that he will serve the world well. In his early life and "premature" stage, he was a naive creature who did not understand good and evil, and he turned people into vampires because he wanted to save them from dying. In his whole life, he has bitten only five people: Kei-nok (Xu Fu), Lei Wai-si (Crow), Fong Kwok-wah, Fuk-sang and Sze-to Fan-yan. He was still in his "naive" stage when Ma Dan-na and Fong Kwok-wah attacked him, and he accidentally injured Fong and Fuk-sang while defending himself. He saw that they were on the verge of death, so he turned them into vampires to save them. He decides to experience the life of an ordinary human to understand human nature better, so he disguises himself as a man called Geung Chan-tso (Chinese: 姜真祖; pinyin: Jiāng Zhēnzǔ; literally "True Ancestor Jiang"; the "Jiang" in his name is a homonym of the "jiang" in jiangshi). He attends university and meets Ma Ding-dong, whom he has feelings for, and this makes him understand the meaning of love. When Nüwa decides to destroy the world, he feels troubled and initially attempts to dissuade her from her plan. However, he takes Nüwa's side when the goddess comes into conflict with Fong Tin-yau, Ma Siu-ling, and those trying to stop the goddess from ending the world, because he truly loves Nüwa and does not want anyone to harm her.

• Ruby Wong as Nüwa (simplified Chinese: 女娲; traditional Chinese: 女媧; pinyin: Nǚwā), the goddess who created mankind according to Chinese mythology. Cheung San is secretly in love with her. She decides to destroy her creations after witnessing how the world becomes corrupted by evil, but Fong Tin-yau and his allies attempt to stop her.

• Angie Cheong as Ma Ding-dong (simplified Chinese: 马叮当; traditional Chinese: 馬叮噹; pinyin: Mǎ Dīngdāng), Ma Siu-ling's aunt and Ma Dan-na's niece. She is very powerful and appears to be the most likely person in the Ma clan who can destroy Cheung San. While in university, she meets Geung Chan-tso through a school play, Romeo and Juliet, and falls in love with him. When her aunt asks her to join her in destroying Cheung San, she is shocked to discover that Geung Chan-tso is actually Cheung San. She lies to her aunt that she has lost her powers because she cried, and has fallen in love with Cheung San. In anger, Ma Dan-na expels her from the Ma family. She meets Cheung San later, and he promises to do three things for her (save the newborn baby El Niño; stop Nüwa from destroying the world; ensure that Fong Tin-yau, Ma Siu-ling and their friends are not harmed). Sze-to Fan-yan develops a crush on her. Later, in the battle between Nüwa against Fong Tin-yau and his allies, Ma Dan-na sacrifices herself to transfer her powers to her niece, who uses a magic sword to attack Nüwa and seriously injure the goddess. Cheung San is forced to kill Ma Ding-dong to prevent her from killing Nüwa but Ma's death causes him to be deeply traumatised. He sends her body to the moon later.

• Kristy Yang as Wong Jan-jan (Chinese: 王珍珍; pinyin: Wáng Zhēnzhēn), Fong Tin-yau's girlfriend. She breaks up with the fake Fong Tin-yau (actually Fong Kwok-wah) after learning that the real Tin-yau is dead and that she is not Kwok-wah's true love. She then starts a romance with Sze-to Fan-yan. She is killed by Domoto Sei, who was misled into believing that Fong Tin-yau and the others are planning to harm his wife and unborn son. Before she dies, Fong wants to turn her into a vampire to save her, but she tells him not to if he does not love her, so Fong hesitates and she dies. Sze-to Fan-yan later blames Fong for her death and he holds a grudge against Fong for not saving her.
  • Kristy Yang doubles as Yamamoto Yuki (Chinese: 山本雪; pinyin: Shānběn Xuě), Yamamoto Ichifu's wife.

• Kenneth Chan as Yamamoto Ichifu (Chinese: 山本一夫; pinyin: Shānběn Yìfū), a major of the Imperial Japanese Army and Fong Kwok-wah's rival. Ma Dan-na appeared and interrupted the fight between him and Fong, thereby preventing Cheung San from biting Yamamoto and turning him into a vampire. He was injured during the Second Sino-Japanese War and returned to Japan to recuperate. He used cruel and tough means to "groom" his maternal grandson, Domoto Sei, to become a cold and ruthless man. In his old age, he meets Fong again and realises that the latter has become an undying vampire. He finds it amusing and feels that he is more fortunate than Fong because he has a choice of death while Fong does not. He commits seppuku in front of Fong and dies laughing at the latter.
  • Kenneth Chan doubles as Sze-to Fan-yan (simplified Chinese: 司徒奋仁; traditional Chinese: 司徒奮仁; pinyin: Sītú Fènrén), the deputy director of a television station in Hong Kong. He is selfish and resorts to unscrupulous means to increase the ratings of his station. However, he mends his ways and becomes a good man after meeting Wong Jan-jan, and has a short-lived romance with her. He discovers later that he was actually cloned from Yamamoto's DNA, therefore he is Yamamoto. He meets Blue Strength, who lies to him that he is a saviour of the world and instigates him to use his "special ability" to heal others. It is revealed later that the source of his "special ability" comes from a tumour in his brain and that he is "healing" people by transferring their problems to others. For example, if he cures 10 people of blindness, another 10 people will become blind as a consequence, so he is not really "healing" people. The tumour in his brain becomes larger as he continues to use his "healing" power, so by the time he finds out the real problem, it is already too late as he only has a month to live. He encounters Cheung San, who bites him and turns him into a vampire, moments before Wong Jan-jan's death. He holds a grudge against Fong Tin-yau for not saving Wong, but reluctantly cooperates with Fong and their friends on a few occasions. He has a crush on Ma Ding-dong later. After she dies, he pretends to submit to Cheung San so that he can get close to Cheung San and kill him to avenge Ma Ding-dong. However, he ends up being controlled by Cheung San instead and is forced to help Cheung San create chaos in Hong Kong. He breaks free of Cheung San's control eventually and joins Fong Tin-yau in the final battle against Cheung San but is seriously wounded and dies.

• Cheung Kwok-kuen as Fuk-sang (simplified Chinese: 复生; traditional Chinese: 復生; pinyin: Fùshēng), a child prodigy and boy vampire who uses his intelligence to help Fong Tin-yau. As he was bitten by Cheung San when he was still a boy, he does not grow up and remains as a boy. His special ability allows him to change people's appearances temporarily.

• Wong Shee-tong as Ho Ying-kau (simplified Chinese: 何应求; traditional Chinese: 何應求; pinyin: Hé Yìngqíu), the successor to Mo Siu-fong (the protagonist in Vampire Expert), who provides medical treatment for ghosts and spirits.

• Chapman To as Kam Ching-chung (Chinese: 金正中; pinyin: Jīn Zhèngzhōng), Ma Siu-ling's apprentice and a distant relative of Kam Mei-loi. He starts a romance with the ghost Sadako. In the later episodes, he is bitten by Sze-to Fan-yan and becomes a vampire. He is destroyed by his teacher in the end.

• Pinky Cheung as Kam Mei-loi (Chinese: 金未來; pinyin: Jīn Wèilái), a distant relative of Kam Ching-chung. She falls in love with Domoto Sei, who bites her and transforms her into an undying vampire when she is mortally wounded at one point. Her special ability allows her to fire bullets from her fingers. She bears Domoto a son, El Niño. She is killed by Blue Strength while protecting her child, but her strong will and love for her son make her forget that she is already dead, and she manages to escape together with her son. She is reminded of her death later when Cheung San tells her and she really dies.

• Berg Ng as Domoto Sei (simplified Chinese: 堂本静; traditional Chinese: 堂本靜; pinyin: Tángbén Jìng), Yamamoto's maternal grandson. In his childhood, he once saw his maternal grandfather (whom he hated) die in front of Fong Kwok-wah, and is so impressed with Fong that he also wants to be a vampire. When he grows up, he thinks that he is a vampire and commits several murders by putting on false fangs and biting his victims to death. He becomes a real vampire after being bitten by Lei Wai-si, and his special ability allows him to enter people's dreams. He falls in love with Kam Mei-loi, whom he attempted to murder earlier, and fathers El Niño with her. He is deceived by Blue Strength and misled into believing that Fong Tin-yau and his friends are planning to harm his wife and unborn son, so he goes on a rampage and kills several innocent people, including Wong Jan-jan. He is eventually destroyed by Ma Siu-ling and repents before his death.

• Joey Leung as Domoto El Niño (simplified Chinese: 堂本厄尔尼诺; traditional Chinese: 堂本厄爾尼諾; pinyin: Tángbén Èěrnínuò), Domoto Sei and Kam Mei-loi's son, and maternal great-grandson of Sze-to Fan-yan (Yamamoto). He is destined to be the Demon Star (Chinese: 魔星; pinyin: Mó Xīng) because he is the offspring of two vampires. His father named him "El Niño" after the Christ child. Before his birth, his mother did not consume sufficient blood so he suffered from malnutrition. When he was born, he did not have hair and aged quickly - he could only live for a few months and reached adult size when he was only a month old. However, he has extraordinarily high IQ and could talk to his mother when he was still inside her womb. He bears a grudge against his mother because she attempted to kill him once before he was born but forgives her later. His high IQ allows him to crack a secret code in the Bible, which holds a clue to stopping Nüwa from ending the world. He attempts to open the Pangu Tomb, which contains a secret weapon that can destroy Nüwa. He is seriously injured in a fight against Sze-to Fan-yan, who is being controlled by Cheung San, and dies at the hands of Cheung San eventually.

She also has the ability to recite the Ma clan's nine-word mantra and summon the Divine Dragon. She is secretly in love with Fong Kwok-wah so she asks Ma Siu-ling to let her be her student.

The scent of fresh blood awakens his senses and he goes berserk and kills everyone in the castle. He bites Si-nga, who is seriously injured and dying, and turns her into a vampire. In the present day, just after they have tied the knot, Si-nga dies at the hands of Ma Siu-ling. Larry is angered and he attacks them, killing Fong Tin-yau (the real one, Fong Kwok-wah's grandson) in the process. He is eventually destroyed by Ma Siu-ling.

He was originally tasked with cloning a saviour for the world, but was worried that his creation would not listen to him and might pose a threat to him.
