Pero right now may mga bagay si Ethan na hindi niya kayang gawin pero kaya ni Alden gawin,&quot; he added.He also noted how his dynamics with co-actor Kathryn Bernardo as she reintroduced herself as Marie.&quot;With his approach in life right, I think nakita na rin natin &#x27;yun sa trailer eh. Ano &#x27;yung dumating sa kanya, ano &#x27;yung naging event sa buhay niya para sabihing &#x27;Joy, I don&#x27;t want you back&#x27; bakit niya sinabi &#x27;yun?&quot; Richards said.&quot;To think na nung first film parang gusto niyang ibigay &#x27;yung buong mundo kay Joy bakit ngayon may ganoon? Kakaiba po &#x27;yung magiging dynamics ni Ethan and Marie in this film,&quot; he added.Richards is grateful to director Cathy Garcia Sampana for helping him connect with Ethan again.&quot;Once na nalagay ko &#x27;yung sarili ko roon sa ganoong setup, same team, same people, same faces while doing the first film, mabilis bumalik si Ethan eh,&quot; the actor said.  &quot;I think Ethan never really left me, andito lang siya. Nahirapan lang akong kunin &#x27;yung kamay niya but with the guidance of Direk Cathy doing this project nahila ko siya ulit,&quot; he added. &quot;Hello, Love, Again,&quot; the sequel to the 2019 blockbuster film &quot;Hello, Love, Goodbye,&quot; will hit cinemas on November 13.The blockbuster film ended with Joy leaving Hong Kong to pursue a career in Canada, while Ethan opened his own business. Viewers were left hanging whether they ended up together or not.&quot;Hello, Love, Goodbye&quot; was the highest-grossing Philippine film of all time until January 2024, when it was surpassed by &quot;Rewind.&quot;
