REVIEW: Hello Stranger The Movie

Fresh from the success of the first season of this well received BL Series, Hello Stranger The Movie wants to continue the momentum of the series into a full-length movie to be streamed via KTX. Hello Stranger stars Tony Labrusca (Xavier) and JC Alcantara (Mico), the first season has 8 episodes and due to the reception of the public, the need for a new season or a movie.

Hello Stranger The Movie is different from the series as it is not just an online meeting but rather a complete movie that takes place outdoors. Production did follow health and safety protocols to have a more intimate and personal interaction between the characters.

The story continues after the events of the first season. Personally I’ve not seen the series but the premise shows that they went back to square one which they did not end up being a couple. They meet again in beach camp together with their friends. The unexpected meeting stirs up feelings, awkwardness, and mixed experiences between the two.
