Helmed by Cathy Garcia-Sampana, the story picks up where the two beloved characters left off following the events that unfolded in the 2019 box-office hit "Hello, Love, Goodbye."

Ethan follows Joy in Canada only to break up when life's challenges arise.

Years later, he returns to fix things in his life and reunites with Joy, who now resides in Canada with her housemates. She makes a living for her family and continues to chase her dreams.

The movie shows the characters' love for their family and willingness to make sacrifices for their loved ones.

Aside from the prevalent issues on the struggles and challenges of an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) that are tackled in the film, there are several love lessons that can be gleaned from the flick based on their characters. (This article contains spoilers ahead).

One such lesson is not to give up on love so easily.

When problems on personal and family issues emerge, at a difficult time during the COVID pandemic, these all took a toll on Joy and Ethan's relationship.
