Cast

  • Eric Wan as Fong Tin-yau (Chinese: 況天佑; pinyin: Kuàng Tiānyòu), the protagonist of the series. Originally named Fong Kwok-wah (simplified Chinese: 况国华; traditional Chinese: 況國華; pinyin: Kuàng Guóhuá), he was the chief of a group of Chinese guerrilla fighters during the Second Sino-Japanese War. He led an operation to blow up a Japanese military base and killed Yamamoto Ichifu's father. However he was also injured during the attack but managed to escape and fled to a nearby village. Yamamoto brought his soldiers to the village to hunt for Fong, and they started killing civilians. Fong showed up and stopped Yamamoto, and engaged him in a one-on-one fight, which lasted until nightfall. Yamamoto's men seized a boy named Fuk-sang and used him as a hostage to threaten Fong. The fight was suddenly interrupted by Cheung San's appearance. Fong, Yamamoto and Fuk-sang were bitten by Cheung San and become undying vampires who require blood to sustain themselves. Fong survives until present-day (1990s) and works in Hong Kong as a policeman under a new name Fong Tin-yau, while Fuk-sang lives with him as his "son". Both of them have not fed on the blood of living humans for the past 60 years and have been drinking expired blood samples from hospitals.
  • 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, a clan of ghostbusters who have dedicated themselves to ridding the world of evil supernatural beings. She earns a living by helping people "clean up" haunted locations and perform exorcisms, sometimes overcharging her customers. Her ancestors have laid down a family rule forbidding her from shedding tears for a man, or she will lose her magic powers. Her most powerful skill is a nine word mantra, which when chanted, will summon forth a divine dragon to destroy any evil being. She falls in love with Fong Tin-yau.
    • 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 and predecessor. 60 years ago she tracked down Cheung San and attempted to destroy him (moments before he bit Fong, Yamamoto and Fuk-sang) but Cheung San still escaped. After she died she often appears as a "floating ghost" to her grandniece, giving her advice and poking fun at her. She sacrifices herself to restore her grandniece's powers after the latter cried for Fong and lost her abilities. The older "floating ghost" Ma Dan-na is played by an unknown actor / actress.
  • Kristy Yang as Wong Jan-jan (Chinese: 王珍珍; pinyin: Wáng Zhēnzhēn), Ma Siu-ling's close friend and confidante. She works as a primary school teacher in Hong Kong, and falls in love with Fong Tin-yau after their first encounter in Japan. Yamamoto sees her as his deceased wife because of the striking resemblance between them, and he wants her for himself. She is mortally wounded during the battle against Yamamoto and Fong reluctantly bites her to grant her eternal life by transforming her into a vampire. In the final episodes, she is captured by Lo Hau, who want to use her as a sacrifice to complete the Moon Funeral ritual so that he can dominate the Three Dimensions. She is revealed to be actually a reincarnation of the Heaven Warrior's fiancee and dies trying to persuade Yamamato (who has been possessed by Lo Hau) to give up on his wicked ambition.

  • Kenneth Chan as Yamamoto Ichifu (Chinese: 山本一夫; pinyin: Shānběn Yìfū), a major of the Imperial Japanese Army and primary antagonist of the series. His father was killed by Fong Kwok-wah and he pursued Fong and fought with him near a village. The two men slashed at each other with swords, drawing blood, arousing the attention of Cheung San, who was in a nearby cave. Cheung San interrupted the fight and bit the two men and Fuk-sang, transforming them into undying vampires. Yamamoto is deeply traumatised by his encounter and behaved oddly after returning to Japan. When his wife died he sank into despair and was afraid of losing his daughter as well, so he bit her and turned her into a vampire too. He lives until the present-day (1990s) and becomes the influential boss of a big company in Hong Kong. He intends to turn every human being into a vampire just like him and unleashes his minions to attack people in Hong Kong. He is defeated and killed by the combined efforts of Fong, Ma Siu-ling and others. However after his death, Yu-meng Sap-sam resurrects him and controls him to complete the Moon Funeral ritual so that he can dominate the Three Dimensions. During the final battle, he recalls his past life as the Heaven Warrior (天勇者), who fought against Lo Hau with another four warriors in ancient times.

He is killed by Lo Hau in the final battle.

When her mother died, her father was afraid of losing her as well so he bit her and transformed her into an undying vampire.

She hates her father, leaves him, and moves into Ka-Ka Estate, where she meets Fong Tin-yau and his friends. After her father's death, the vampire gene in her and those linked to her father are destroyed, so she marries Domoto and bears him a son (Domoto Sei) and they become normal human beings.

Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    we cast the vessel ashore
    On the Gulliby Isles where the Pooh-pooh smiles,
    And the Rumbletum bunders roar.
    Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)

    You may melt your metals and cast them into the most beautiful moulds you can; they will never excite me like the forms which this molten earth flows out into. And not only it, but the institutions upon it are plastic like clay in the hands of the potter.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The old man had heard that there was a wreck and knew most of the particulars, but he said that he had not been up there since it happened. It was the wrecked weed that concerned him most ... and those bodies were to him but other weeds which the tide cast up, but which were of no use to him.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
