Moonlight duo: Chan and Kwan posing for a photograph at the Oxo Cafelab in Bayan Lepas, Penang yesterday to promote critically acclaimed TVB drama series ‘Moonlight Resonance’. GEORGE TOWN: Hong Kong TVB drama star Moses Chan is looking forward to starring in the upcoming action-packed drama Heaven and Earth where he will showcase both his prowess in martial arts and his love for music. Chan said the drama series, produced by K.Y. Chik, would touch base with viewers as it evolves around Hong Kong’s underworld of triads and gambling, stock markets, politics, love and relationship entanglements. He also had to shed about 15kg for the role and had to undergo training in Thai kickboxing for his role in the new series which will be aired next month. “I had to practise kickboxing for one to one and a half hours daily. Apart from that, I taught myself to play the guitar, which is a requirement in the series. That is not a problem for me as I love music including jazz, classical and rock. “In this new series, I portray a different role from my other role as Ah Ka in Moonlight Resonance. This time, I play a sophisticated and street-wise good guy,” Chan said in an interview at the Oxo Cafelab in Bayan Baru yesterday. Chan was in Penang for two days to promote the award-winning and critically-acclaimed 2008 grand production drama by Hong Kong Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) called “Moonlight Resonance” with his co-star Suzanna Kwan. The final episode of Moonlight Resonance had garnered an average of 47 rating points, outperforming its predecessor series, “Heart of Greed”. In Moonlight Resonance, Chan played the role of Wing Ka, the eldest son of Gam Tai Cho (Ha Yu) and his wife Chung Siu Hor (Louise Lee) who are co-owners of Moonlight Bakery. Kwan played the role of Salina Chung Siu Sa. “The series spins a tale of family relationships and values. The message in the story is that family relationships come first,” said Chan. Chan said Moonlight Resonance is currently the highest-rated TVB series ever. This drama also won coveted awards at the 18th TVB Anniversary Awards including Best Drama, Best Actor and Actress in a Leading Role and Best Actress in a Supporting Role. Moonlight Resonance is an indirect sequel to 2007’s award winning series, Heart of Greed. The series is written and edited by Cheung Wah Biu and Sit Ga Wah. It premiered on July 28, last year. Note: OMG, Moses is going to Thai box and play the guitar! I can hear "thumps" already because a few female fans have fainted! Ha ha... The plot for "Heaven and Earth" sounds like the sales clip for《城寨風雲》"Sing Jaai Fung Wan" in 2000. Gallen Lo, Frankie Lam, Florence Kwok, Yvonne Yung, etc. were in the sales presentation clip.

After Moses' weight gain for a previous role, he didn't look too great. Happy to know he's shedding the pounds and getting back into shape.
