My Date with a Vampire II (我和僵屍有個約會II) is a 2000 Hong Kong television series produced by Asia Television (ATV) as a sequel to My Date with a Vampire (1998) even though it is a reboot of the original. It was followed by My Date with a Vampire III in 2004. The series starred many cast members from the first season in similar roles. Like the first season, My Date with a Vampire II also blends aspects of the "hopping" corpses of jiangshi fiction with those of European vampires, while incorporating elements of Chinese mythology, modern horror legends, and eschatology.
Synopsis
In 1937, Kuang Guohua teams up with the sorceress Ma Danna to destroy Jiangchen, an ancient vampire. They fail in their attempt; Kuang Guohua and the boy Fusheng get bitten by Jiangchen, turning into vampires.
In the present-day, Kuang takes over his grandson Kuang Tianyou's identity after the latter dies in an incident in England. He meets and starts a romantic relationship with Ma Xiaoling, Ma Danna's great-niece who has dedicated herself to ridding the world of evil supernatural beings.
Nüwa, the goddess who created humankind in Chinese mythology, feels very disappointed and heartbroken after seeing how her creations have been corrupted by evil, so she plans to end the world. Jiangchen, who has lived long before the world came into existence, is in love with Nüwa. Kuang, Ma and their allies learn about Nüwa's plan and intend to stop her from ending the world. However, that brings them into conflict with not only the goddess herself, but also Jiangchen and his followers.
