The small talk between you and your ex, y'all nailed that part perfectly. Both of y'all wanting to say more, wanting to communicate something more meaningful. But neither of you can really break the barrier between. In the end, it's just small talk, and desire. The desire to break the bottle and see if anything in the past is still real, or did it only exist before. I still see my ex all the time. When we run into each other, it is just as described above. Nothing more than two strangers, small talk, and wistful emotions.

YES and Dia's performance was SO meticulous and subtle - the rising tension in her voice as she gets slightly frustrated that Josh seems to not want to say anything. An absolutely crazy moment for our first dialogue between them in this series.

The moment Marissa walked in that door and they met again.. whirlwind of emotions, the nostalgia struck! Strangers Again is a classic and I'm so happy we got a sequel! Congratulations WongFu for continuing to make quality productions throughout the years and thank you!

When I watched Strangers Again 10 years ago, I was 15 and had never even had a proper relationship before. Fast forward to now, I'm almost 5 years into my relationship and I moved across the world, without my family, to be with my boyfriend. But the reality is, we're currently facing the exact crossroads that were depicted in Strangers Again. I always loved the video but had never been able to fully relate to it until now. The future is so uncertain and it's scary letting go of someone who has been a part of your life for so long that you don't even remember what it was like without them. Thank you for making these videos Wong Fu. It reminds me that I'm not alone and that life will be okay, even if it doesn't feel like it will be right now.

I've been a WongFu fan from the time they started. When I saw "Strangers Again" uploaded I didn't watch it upon release because it looked very serious and well...I was 13 years old lol. I am 23 now and just watched it yesterday. Even though I have never been in a relationship, I think to an extent I can relate to the emotions and lessons of the short film because my social circle has changed drastically over the past 5 years. I really enjoyed watching the original and am waiting for this one to premiere ^__^

I was 20 when I saw Strangers Again. Now, I'm 30, turning 31 next month, and single since January. I was jumping from one toxic relationship to another from my 20s to my last relationship, which was by far the most abuse I've experienced from someone who claimed to love me. This time, I'm rewriting a new chapter for myself. I'm not afraid to be single in my 30s anymore. I loved this video! I'm looking forward to meeting someone someday who can provide me a healthy romantic relationship!

I couldn’t wait and gladly put money down to watch it all. To those waiting, I can assure you all…..This is one of the bests works of the year! Well worth ten years

omg! dying about the crystals and mercury in retrograde scene! 😂🔮

I was 17 and fresh out of high school when I first watched Strangers, Again. It made a big impact on the perspectives I had, and the decisions made in my love life. I’m now 27 and have found fulfillment and joy in marriage and motherhood. Thank you for your storytelling. . .still means a lot after all these years.

i know it's difficult, my partner and i are going thru similar mental health struggles and it can be hard for both of us to be partners to each other in our lowest moments. i know that feeling of just wanting to be there to help, but sometimes it's just not easy to see past that dark part. take care of yourself, just like she is. don't feel like you weren't enough - at the end of the day, you are their partner, not their therapist. our own therapists said this to both of us, and it's okay if you both decide to do what's best for you. some time apart can also help, but take this time to take care of you!

Strangers, Again came out when I was about 13 years old, and at the time, I didn't understand it to its full extent but still really enjoyed it. From that point on regardless of how old I was, I would always go back and watch Strangers Again whenever I would go through a heartbreak and it resonated so deeply with me the older I got. I'm tearing up seeing this almost 10 years later and I'm so excited this is finally out!

Wow - capturing the relationship conundrum so well. I see glimpses of my own 20’s and early 30’s. ‘Growing up’ with Wong Fu has been such a blessing. Gives me a lot of empathy for myself and my past hang ups with relationships. Side- love the diverse cast!

The moment Marissa walked in was when tears filled up in my eyes! Didn't want to feel this way after just waking up! Keep up the amazing work! Been following you guys for ages and it's amazing to see how far Wong Fu has come!

I can't believe I am seeing this after all these years! "Strangers, again" is in my favorites youtube folder, it really struck a chord with me when you guys released it, and now seeing you continue this story is giving me so much nostalgic warm feelings. I'm so happy right now, thank you!

Can't believe I watched Strangers Again 12 years ago and suddenly today I found YOU guys again. Sure will support the new series. Beautifully done and can't describe the feelings seeing ya again. Like good old friends and walked down the memories lane. Cathy is always beautiful and Phil is sensational.

weird, at least to me, to watch people talking about relationships on their 20's and 30's, while I'm currently 27 (leaving 20's approaching 30's) but never had a single girlfriend in my life, so I really haven't felt anything to make me relate to the story, but still I love it

This was the perfect way to start a Monday. 10 years later and I immediately purchased the rest of the episodes to show my support. My lunch break can not come sooner! I was in my 20s when the first video came out and now am in my 30s and I feel like I am growing alongside these characters. Thanks for this.

Exactly what I did! Except 30s and 40s for me.

As someone who went to grad school and went through a break up, this hits home. It has been 3 years and I have moved on. However, the "projection" part cut through my heart. I've felt that, I think we all go through that in relationships. But it is up to us to make it work at the end of the day and not project our insecurities to our partners. Watching this at late 20s is mind blowing and so relatable. I hope we all will learn, understand, and be honest with ourselves. We all have insecurities but work on it and embrace it to make your current/future relationship a positive experience. Thanks Wong Fu

It's crazy how relatable everything is. I'm glad you guys came up with another series to add on to the first one. Looking forward to this! So far really good!

Thank you so very much for revisiting this story! I can't believe how quickly this chapter flew by! So excited to see where their stories end up!

Bro I heated up a whole bbq pork bao for this episode only for it to end on a cliffhanger and my bao half eaten 😭

Oh My God this series hit me so hard 10 years ago, i can't believe its been that long and after all ive been through it really felt like everything and nothing happened, especially with relationships, which is always such a shaky and sensitive subject for everyone. I was happy to pay for this series, especially due to all this nostalgia I felt seeing them together again.

In all honesty, I really dreaded being 30. The whole saga of not being at that stages are deemed right by society fucked me up so much. On to top it off, trying to figure out everything is just not easy. Not like we have a manual or anything ha ha ha. Now, 2 years to 40, I've finally accepted that it's okay to not be with anyone. Took me the longest to just focus on me. Sure it's hard dating where everyone I met only want to hookup and what more with covid literally no one can go anywhere anymore. All I'm saying that as much as I know there are good guys out there, it's just not as simple as our parents time. The emotional challenges for 30 - 40, at least for me, is unachievable and unattainable. I still have faith though cos in life, you'll never know. Hugs to all 💕

Wow, it's been 10 years!! I've rewatched the original so many times and I'm now nearly 30 and I relate a lot.. Thank you Wong Fu for all the hard work in bringing these heart-warming stories to the world! 🥰

Just paid for the series and finished watching!! SO worth it. Thank you so much for creating this series. It has hit me so deeply as someone who became a young mom, then a single mom and now engaged to a man with a wonderful family who cherishes my daughter and I!

OMG that ending!!! That was so perfect. I can't wait for the next bit!! Also, I love the fact that you continued the style of Strangers Again (the way he talks into the camera, the Stages…) And it was great to see David again too!!

This has always been my favorite short! It’s so nostalgic seeing my childhood reappear 10 years later. Always been a proud fan of wfp. Thank you WongFu

It’s been years since I saw a WongFu video and this just popped up in my recommended today. I’m literally so stoked 💕

This was such a treat! After 10 years?!? Thank you, Wongfu!!!

Saw the first ep, couldn’t deal with waiting 2 weeks so went and bought the whole series to watch it all. Man, this one just tugs at your heart strings. One of the best works by wongfu ❤️

goosebumps + got a little teary. The 10 years wait that we didn't know we needed! 😭😭

First I have to say how well made this is. I bought the rest of the series and its completely worth it. It really struck a chord with respect to my current situation which is still very different in many ways. I went back to watch Strangers Again after watching this and its just amazing to see how far you guys have come as story tellers. In my mind Strangers Again was an amazing short film. The writing and production value in this series are miles ahead. Yesterday I watched the series and was moved by the story. Today I felt the need to write this because I was inspired thinking about your progress and film makers and people. Please keep up the amazing work!

Guys , wow... ! It's been so long since that episode of "strangers again " but I can feel all the vibe that you put in every single cut. I'm waiting the next episode , I know that everyone is very excited for this ! Love you guys !

I was 20 watching strangers again and now I’m 30… the amount of times strangers again made me cry in my emotional early 20s is ridiculous. This new series hits my heart in all the right places!

damn this really hits. i was with my then boyfriend watching and after a decade we broke up. what a vortex of emotions right now but more importantly thank you for reviving this ✨

I watched a lot of these shorts during my first love relationship. The on and off again romance. The heart wrenching tears of how a lot of what I saw was relatable, all the way to Everything Before Us. I broke up with my first love in 2015. Now this - it is so relatable. I honestly have no clue what I’d do if I crossed paths with him again, but I’ve definitely thought of him, and wondered if he ever thought of me. Doesn’t mean I want us to be together, but I learned so much from our time together, and the memories are something that flood back and I wonder.

This is so bittersweet. 🥺❤️ Thank you for continuing to do what you guys do after all of these years.

It's so incredible to have been there to witness stranger's again and now being close to my 30's and watching the continuation of this series. It really hits home. Especially the timelines associated with having everything figured out by 30. Also, David Choi and the proposal? Not sure if that was intentional, but wonder if it had something to do with his proposal in real life!! So many things coming together.

I was 16 when I saw the first one. Time flew by so quickly, but the feels stayed the same. I love how it seems like the show grew as I did. Awesome job as always!

As a 22 year old, this makes me feel scared that I might still have to keep dating until my 30s😂😂😂 nevertheless THE EDITING AND SCRIPTWRITING IS AMAZING 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 like this is HBO Max/Netflix worthy

Watched this after my first real break up in my mid twenties. And now I am married, with a baby and this got me thinking of THOSE days. I remember watching this and crying my eyes out and watching it again a and again. Almost like putting more salt on the wounds. Watching the projection part cut so deep in ways I never thought. Thank you for this gift

this is so crazy that when the original was first released, i had recently gone through a breakup. my first love. it hit me hard for years. and now, i'm in my 30's, and i'm in the same situation as the new series. single, just broke up, and going through mediocre dates and just going through the motions. it's so surreal. for only $10, i gladly purchased the entire series to watch it. the ending was well executed and made sense, even though it's not what i expected, but that made me appreciate it even more. this channel and the videos has helped shape my adulthood, and i can't help but regret not supporting sooner. going to do the highest tier on patreon now, it's the least i can do to support.

Seriously, the cinematography in this video is 10/10! Amazing job guys!

It was 10 years ago when I watch "Strangers, Again". This brings back the greatness and ideology of what matters most vs reality. I appreciate this.

My heart!! I could not stop crying throughout all 3 chapters. Thank you for sharing your vision and giving me perspective

I already bought and finished the series (I won't spoil anything of course), and I just have to say that the sequel was beautifully written and does justice to the original. Phil really has a way of putting so much meaning in simple dialogue. Looking forward to watching it over again on KZread :)

Your channel as well as your amazing thought-provoking clips helped me and my family get through the darkest time in 2020. Thank you guys, thank you Wang fu. I’ll be your forever fan ever.

Phil’s monologue breaking that fourth wall, talking about dating in the 30s…. Ouch, felt that personal attack bro. 😳

I love that David Choi is in this too! I was hoping to see him. I love the flashbacks, although I've never really experienced this situation as I married my high school sweetheart. But Wong fu has always ALWAYS provided such beautiful relatable stories. Can't wait for Chapter 2!!

It’s crazy how the first one helped me get through my break up with my high school sweetheart (1st relationship ever). Now I’m sitting here at 25 watching this trying to get through a recent break up (3rd relationship).

Aw, finally! This is so strangely bittersweet for me. When the first one came out years ago, my husband and i just started dating and i would always watch it and wonder why people become strangers again. Now almost a decade later, we have gotten married and are separating...this is such an odd feeling, i want to cry.

There is so much I loved and could say about the whole series, but to not spoil anything for anyone all I’ll say is I’m so glad I decided to purchase the 3 chapters!

Brings back so many memories.

I watched strangers again 6 years ago on repeat when I broke up from my 4 years relationship. Just like Josh, I am in my 30s now, going from one bad date to another not-so-bad dates. still relatable til now, still so special.

I’ve been a subscriber and fan since I was a young middle schooler. Now that I’m in my 2nd year of college rewatching your old videos and seeing new ones definitely brings me comfort and good nostalgia. Wongfu shaped my perspectives on love and relationships but for the better 💕
