    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.

    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!

    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!

    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

      Hang in there! It’s not your fault that she chose to fight the battle alone. We can never truly solve another’s issues for them, so don’t be too hard on yourself :’) it’s her demons to battle and I commend her for plucking up the courage to face them 1-v-1. I know it must suck for you right now, but I’m sure you two can always reunite when her battle is won and the timing is right. Good luck, friend!

      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!

    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 💕

    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

    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.

    WongFu has done a lot over the past few years with new producers and writers, but I feel like the ones that come out from WongFu themselves show so much "perfection" in storytelling. It doesn't leave the viewer stranded, which feels like happens with a lot of the new short films for some reason. This doesn't necessarily mean the short films are bad, but I feel like WongFu has so much know-how they could refine some of the short films a little bit more!

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.

    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

    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.

    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). I’ve now decided to seek therapy and God because I don’t want to end up in my 30’s repeating the same cycle over and over again ❤️‍🩹

    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!

    I watched the original 10 years ago right after a horrible break up with my ex. I resonated so much with the characters. Through out the years, I’ve learn more about myself and relationships. Now, that I am married, watching this.. I ask myself.. “why is the ending have to be marriage if you want to be together?, can’t we just grow old together? Do you both want to have kids?” Such a different view now. Obviously it’s not the standard but.. if both people agree with it.. why not add it as an option?
    Can’t wait for more.. Long time fan here. Please make more🥰 I really appreciate your work.
