My Date with a Vampire 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 Chinese "hopping" corpses of jiangshi fiction with those of western vampires, while incorporating elements of Chinese mythology, modern horror legends, and eschatology.

Plot

The second season opens with a duel between Fong Kwok-wah, a Chinese guerrilla fighter, and Yamamoto Kazuo, a major of the Imperial Japanese Army, during the Second Sino-Japanese War as shown in the first season. They attract the attention of Cheung-San, the progenitor of all vampires, who interrupts their duel. Just as Cheung-San is about to bite the two men and turn them into vampires, sorceress Ma Dan-na appears and drives Cheung-San away, thus sparing Fong and Yamamoto from their fates. Shortly after that, Fong agrees to help Ma hunt down and destroy Cheung-San. They succeed in trapping Cheung-San but he breaks free and bites Fong and the boy Fuk-sang, turning them into vampires. Fong and Fuk-sang are still alive in the present-day (2000) and their physical appearances have not changed since more than 60 years ago. Before Fong became a vampire, he had already started a family so he now has a grandson, Tin-yau. After Tin-yau dies in an incident in England, Fong takes over his grandson's identity. He meets and starts a romance with Ma Siu-ling, a descendant of Ma Dan-na and the heiress to the Ma clan, who have dedicated themselves 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 on 2 January 2001. Cheung-San, who has lived long before the world came into existence, is in love with Nüwa. Fong, 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 Cheung-San and his followers.
