In the teaser, characters Joy and Ethan continue to love each other despite the distance between Hong Kong to Canada. It appears as though Ethan has flown to Canada to reunite with Joy, but things seem amiss as Joy reintroduces herself as Marie when having Ethan take her coffee order.
“Hello, Love, Goodbye” is about a Filipino domestic helper in Hong Kong with high hopes of practicing medicine in Canada. She unexpectedly falls in love with an aimless bartender, although separation is inevitable in opting for the path towards her dreams. The film bagged numerous accolades, such as the Box Office Entertainment and PMPC Star awards.
The highly anticipated sequel “Hello, Love, Again” is set to premiere on the 13 of November this year.
