Playing Michael Hui Koon Man's daughter, Michelle Wai Sze Nga has performed well in the film. Earlier she has already swept many film festivals Best Actress awards, and is regarded as the Best Actress favorite at this year's Hong Kong Film Awards. In the film Wai Sze Nga and Tommy Chu Pak Hong, who played her elder brother, have a major scene that tugs at the heart strings. The team specifically released the production footage of this scene, showing the determination and perseverance of the two in the face of the difficult action of "Breaking Hell".

In order to perfectly present this scene, Wai Sze Nga went through 9 months of high-intensity training beforehand and Chu Pak Hong was no exception. In the days leading up to the shoot, the duo practiced their movements at the funeral hall at almost every break, mastering every detail of the ceremony. On the day of filming, the two communicated frequently with the martial arts instructor and the ritual master. After each shoot, they looked physically and mentally exhausted during the break. The scene was not only mentally but also physically challenging; after all the hard work, the filming was finally completed smoothly, lead actor Dayo Wong Tze Wah and the team applauded thunderously. Witnessing on the set, Catherine Chau Ka Yee was even moved to tears.

Wai Sze Nga also has the breaking hell solo scene. She has to complete the ritual for her loved one with sadness, and even has to challenge the difficult fire basin jump stunt. She lives up to expectations and successfully completes the action, the entire set applauds and she cannot help but excitedly show off her burnt hair. Recalling the shoot that day, Wai Sze Nga emotionally said that after practicing for 9 months, when the shoot finally came she felt like show time. She was excited and a little nervous, but she enjoyed the process more. She also felt that the whole team seemed to be cheering for herself, and felt like a group of friends helping her to do something together and succeeding in the end.
