The movie PEG O' MY HEART (SHOOK MUNG) was Nick Cheung Ka Fai written, directed and starred. He was also the lead singer of the movie theme song ETERNAL INSOMNIA, the song and music video would be launched on the 28th of this month. Ka Fai said that every position is challenging and stressful. If he has the opportunity to do so, he would like to focus on only one job.

ETERNAL INSOMNIA was Ka Fai sung, and the music video starred Ka Fai and Fala Chen. Ka Fai joked, "Because of the limited production budget, I also sang the theme song of KEEPER OF DARKNESS (TOR DEI KUI MOR YUN) to save money. I have a starring role in the film. I hope to bring out even more room for the audience to fantasize. As for inviting Fala Chen to shoot the music video, she is also the lead actress in the movie. She works on the music video because I want to continue the role in the film." Very passionate about singing, Ka Fai only took two or three hours to complete the recording of the theme song this time. In the music video, Ka Fai had a scene of dancing on the water. He said that the director requested him to dance, and he just cooperated.

Mark Lui Chung Tak composed the song and Chu Lam wrote the lyrics. Mark said, "I remember walking with my dog that day, when I received a call from Ka Fai's manager. I found out that I needed to write a movie theme song. They told me the story of PEG O' MY HEART, after hearing it I was very touched and full of inspiration. So I immediately thought of ETERNAL INSOMNIA's chorus lyrics and melody." In an instant, he recorded the melody of the whole song on his mobile phone, and his creative time may have only taken a few dozen minutes because he was very excited about the subject matter of the movie. Mark added, "I have worked with Ka Fai on KEEPER OF DARKNESS before. I have always admired his acting skills, determination to do things and his love for his wife, so I think his interpretation of this song can be said to be 100 points. His skill in using his voice to express feelings is beyond any doubt, I also love this work deeply. With my preference for Ka Fai, it is logical to score 100 points."
