The Nick Cheung KaFai written, directed and starred PEG O' MY HEART (SHOOK MUNG) would open on the 27th of this month. Aside from the three leads of himself, Fala Chen and Terrance Lau Chun Him, The supporting characters included Natalie Hsu (Hui Yan Yi), Ben Yuen Fu Wah, Rebecca Zhu Lichen, Brian Lee Hoi Yin, German Cheung Man Kit and others. In the film German Cheung Man Kit gave a special performance. He did not have many scenes, but attracted attention because this was the first time he performed with his cousin Cheung Ka Fai. Cheung Man Kit said that although it was only a minor role and he had no scene with his cousin, he still enjoyed it. He did not dare to disturb the director during the shoot, just minding the silent role he was playing. This was a rare collaboration.

Playing Cheung Ka Fai's friend Ah Chi in PEG O' MY HEART, Brian Lee Hoi Yin also had both character appearance and acting breakthroughs that were big challenges for him. He said that he has tried a lot of different firsts. Brian thanked Cheung Ka Fai for giving him the opportunity to perform, "I have quite a connection with Brother Ka Fai, the first time we worked together was on NIGHTFALL (DAI JUI BO). This time I was also selected to play the film he directed, plus the role was something I have never tried and has a lot of scenes to play; so I am very grateful. It was the first time I have shaved my head for a role, and the appearance had to match the evolution of the role. From kindness to cruelty, these emotional changes really took a lot of thought. It was a new experience, this bald head look really made the role served a great purpose. Sometimes while having my makeup fixed, I would see my fierce face and scared myself too! I'm looking forward to seeing the audience's reaction."

Hui Yan Yi played Lau Chun Him's patient in the film. When filming a dream scene, she saw a giant headed baby covered in blood. She confronted the giant headed baby on a swing over the pool of blood, and at first thought that the prop giant headed baby was very cute, but as filming went on she got the chills more and more. "It was like a duel, back and forth we shot for 6 or 7 hours. At first I thought it was very cute, but in the end I really hated it. The process was very realistic, especially when seeing his face covered with blood I thought was very terrifying and uneasy. I believe after playing on the swing this time I would never do it again! Because after a hour of the shoot, my back was already so sore. However when I watched the playback afterwards, the entire atmosphere was very shocking so it was worth the pain."
