this was better than a hallmark movie
obviously
christmas prince who?
No, no it wasn't. It was awful and sad and just makes me feel bad.
"Hallmark and Lifetime..... Television for idiots" - Family Guy and South Park.
@@XionProductions Totally agree with you. Wong Fu has some pretty great short films, this was not one of them. Seems like they literally used a standard form "Hallmark movie plot point check list" during production. And I do not mean that in a good way at all.
The tradition of Chris Dinh narrating WF Christmas shorts continues
she looks like what i imagined Mulan to look like
AJ better than Liu Yifei if you ask me
psychedamike agreed. Liu Yifei is beautiful but not Mulan
Omg, can’t agree more
Actually she really does!
Not every asian is mulan
She said she's not broken but then we find out that he literally has the ability to restore what's broken :') I see you wongfu
That’s what he did - fixed her broken heart 💔
When she said “he said he never loved me, it was all a lie” I FELT THATTTTTTRRT
grace berlin sis me too!! 😭
I thought i could forget that until she mentioned it and my heart ache
that ending made me cry once again..the one that got away😭 people come into our lives to teach us lessons and even tho it may seem bad at the time..like getting to know someone and then getting rejected by them, or feeling like you've connected with someone so well that they have to leave...there's a reason and lesson for all the ache😭❤
The way she was looking around to find the elf when it snowed 😭😭
Lmao “Some stories don’t get tied up in a BOW” well she got herself a Bow in the end
wowwww i didnt even realize that
Always tie it up with a BOW 😜😜😜😜🎀🎀🎀
MikeBowShow omg Mike!!😝
Puns everywhere! Gotta love wongfu😆
WAIT THAT DUDE GOT SOME MAGIC, WASN'T EXPECTING THIS TURN
I thought he was going to say, “I’m a CEO.” Man, too much Korean dramas. 😂 BUT HOLY CRAP, I DID NOT EXPECT THIS TURN.
Same here, and I don't even watch Korean dramas lol
Woman: PLEASE PLEASE LET ME BUY YOU A NEW SHIRT
Man: No, really, not necessary
Woman: (does it anyway)
Strong Asian woman trait
That's just like my mom and her friends LOL
This is just like me
Or creepy weirdo? Imagine a man forcing a women he's just met to wait for him to buy her shirt. Romcom "meet cute" plots like this are so cringe.
Woah I felt that “love at first sight” with Peter. What the heck, did he get even MORE handsome?!!
I was not expecting the elf. I was not expecting the plot twist. I’m sad they didn’t work out, but I appreciated how it was relatable because life doesn’t always work out the way you expect it to. Thank you for this production - it was beautiful. 💝❤️😭
even if it was a brief time, it still meant something ❤️ thank you for watching!
That was the line that broke me into tears 😭
Well, we don't always get what we want, do we?
OHMYGOD LISA YOU CANNOT JUST ASK SOMEONE WHY THEIR EARS AREN’T POINTY 😤
How rude Lisa 😂
Sorry, Can I ask that why Lisa can't say that? (I', Vietnamese)
@@leluong4214 Elves are known to have pointy ears, so it's playing like elf society considers it rude to ask. Like how many places it's rude to ask a woman's age.
"rhyming is really hard okay" I feel ya dude.
😂 😂 😂
It feels so good to watch an Asian-American cast in my hometown. I feel so represented. Beautifully shot and edited, music was great.
Her: You’re fit
Me :Yes he is
*Narrator:* (In iambic pentameter)
_What's next for Lisa, we may never know_
_JK! One year later she's with Mike Bow_
A CLASSIC Christmas Carol 🎀🎀🎀
When you're a Wong Fu fan and you recognize the narrator immediately as well as the radio hosts. Lol.
I thought it was Benson..lol
And who wrote the script!!!
CHRIS
Right? As soon as the narrator started talking, "Chris!"
The most amazing thing ever
8:22 rhyming's easy:
"he was new to the city, she showed him around. they sat on a bench that was nailed to the ground."
Narrator: Some stories don’t need happy endings.
Me, trying not to cry: YES THEY DO!!!
or at least a sequel so Elliot can be happy, darnit!
Why did it take me so long to realize that Elliot, whose an elf that can fix/repair things, fixed Lisa's heart. Smh, it only took rewatching this a few times to figure it out.
the scene at the park where he touches her hand and the snow came down for the first time was probably it!
Thought : All elves are hot asians
more like you think all asian girls are hot..
He’s so hot fr
OH MY GAD AFTER ELLIOT LEFT I STARTED BAWLING IM SO EMOTIONAL RIGHT
WHY IS THIS SHORT SO K-DRAMA
me in the beginning: oh this is going to be cute. right in the feels.
me in the middle: ... What the frost?!
me at the end: ...damn it, mike bow!
I had a similar reaction to mike bow showing up hahaha
SAME! I was like Mike Bow not now!!! >.
Hallmark who? Wongfu’s coming to snatch the title of best cheesy romantic holiday movie. But for real this was so cute my heart literally melted 😭
It’s so perfect to have Chris around for Christmas again :) even if it’s just his voice. He’s definitely the voice of Christmas for me.
I can imagine chris’ facial expressions while he was narrating. The voice of Christmas
Damn it, like always Wong Fu's endings are the best. They are unexpected yet dont leave me hanging always the perfect and beautiful ending. Love you Wong Fu thanks for doing what you do and helping me get through so many stages in my life. Been a fan for over 10 years. Love you Wong Fu 💙
I am about the same as you but so opposite. Been a fan for years, probably about 10 as well, but this was awful to me. I want the beautiful perfect ending. That's why I watch movies and such. Life is crappy, not always, but you know what I mean. I get enough crap in life that when I watch something I want the happy ending. You said that Wong Fu has gotten you through so many stages in life. Yet I feel like Wong Fu hasn't grown up at all. All their stuff is about dating, and failed relationships, etc. Crappy endings. They give no hope to the future. I'm married, I have kids, life is so much more than these videos they make. I say all this to show how different two perspectives can be. I've grown a little disenchanted honestly with Wong Fu. I was really hoping this short was going to be the one that had the happy ending for once, but no, it's the same old thing. I suppose these are for someone, you seem to enjoy them, but I think they are stuck in a rut and the tragedies are becoming predictable now. I'll still watch, if only to hold out hope that someday they will give me a happy ending. A heartwarming happy ending.
Xion Productions ok
Xion Productions ok
@@XionProductions Huh? She wound up with Mike Bow. How is that not a happy ending?
Not even kidding i started crying. That was a roller coaster of a short 😭❤️😍
LOL omg I was scrolling through comments because I thought I was the only one who tear'ed up 😭 the feels...
You can't be an elf because you're hot 😂😂😂
Loved the pacing of this short film! Both of the leads’ acting felt natural. The narration wasn’t annoying or cheesy too.
The narrator is so hilarious! He went from calm to surprisingly loud! “Oh my god! Oh that’s bad!” 😆
Well done narrating! Comical and entertaining!
Keep up the great work, Wong Fu Productions!
"Why aren't you tiny?"
Whoa, stereotype. Hahaha good one.
They talked until the night , but by sunlight he was gone
But by that time Lisa had something to carry on.....
Poetry skills deserve appreciation. Too good 🙌
this is cute af
the beginning reminded me of a hallmark movie
all in all, very easy to relate to and marvelously wholesome. and very entertaining as well.
great job guys! thank you!
love Love LOVE everything about this!
dat bts was dope doe
love u mwf
I didn't realise how much I really enjoy hearing Chris' voice being a narrator (and miss him in videos)... it's absolutely everything!
To me, the elf in this short story represents someone who passed away and the snow is representing a certain moment of memory with a love one who has passed away. You remember about them and that special moment with that special someone but then you know you have to move on. Too dark for the holiday?
That's deep 😢
Reminded me of the movie Last Christmas
@@qb1120 ... without the George Michael reference hitting you over the head throughout the movie! :)
olivia is so pretty omg. i know that she’s been trying to grow out her hair again but she looks great with short hair too. beautiful inside and out. also this short really was the perfect timing to give myself a break from my final exams! ☺️
Oh Wongfu, even with it being an ending that isnt wrapped in a bow and “happy ending”, it still made me feel so warm inside with the snow and Lisa looking around for Elliot. 🥰 oh the feels
ending wasn't wrapped in a bow... but it ended with a Bow 😂
@@wongfupro 😂
“Holland has one of the largest populations of Indonesians living outside of Indonesia” “no not that”
“What the...FROST! NO FROSTIN’ WAY!” 🤣
😂😂😂😂
Him- "I'm not actually a delivery guy
Me as a joke- "I'M aN elF"
*He says the exact same thing*
Me: igduonvdzcsefhistswtgjohtdvji
OMG SAME!
The ending was the ending I expected Wong Fu to have. Realistic. I'm glad she moved on.
mm the last part when elliot makes it snow over lisa and her new bf made me teary
I can relate to this, this year. But not the elf part 😂
What comes after is not to be compared with the moment itself. This is what it felt like. Also I just love love love the name "Handle With Care". In a sense he was never meant to be with her. He was just there to mend her heart and to give her the courage to move on. Some people were just meant to do that. Nothing less, nothing more.
The park scene where they were sitting, looked like the scene from Stranger Again.
8:20 "He was new to the city and she was his guide". They found a bench where they could confide!
Come on Chris!
No One:
Literally no one:
Me: Yo!!! Is That A POWER RANGER?!?!?!
...this is the Wong Fu feels I grew up into. I missed this! I truly do! Please bring these kinds of shorts back!
Not gonna lie, was not expecting that
This gave me the bittersweet type of feels i loved this so much hallmark could literally never LMFAO olivia’s acting is everything I aspire to be, her and peter’s chemistry made my heart go uwu. Literally kudos to y’all at Wong Fu Productions for giving us asians representation with the best content possible for all these years. Y’all are frosting awesome
Such a nice short, nice to hear Chris Dinh narrate again! Wasn't expecting that plot twist tho
That intro, progress, plot twist and ending was just amazing!! Classic Wong Fu, man.
The narrator is being like Dr. Seuss.
Absolutely amazing. Forever pulling on our heart strings. Never change Wong Fu, it was so creative and touching please keep telling stories like these.
WongFu never fails to get me in the feels.
"I'm sorry Lisa, I didn't choose the elf life. The elf life chose me."
y’all didn’t need to make me cry like that😭
He reconstructed even her broken heart ❤
THIS DESERVES SO MUCH MORE VIEWS AND LIKES WTFF... i love y'all story outlines
corduroy button up on fleek
well placed earring aswell Peter.
That smile at the end from Olivia was full of peace and appreciation, i can dig that
"like at the mall?" 😂
Being heartbroken this holiday and watching with just took my feels to new heights.
*Big sighs*
I love Chris's voice!
That ILX brings back the feels. Like the TSX and RSX from past shorts. Love the dedication Phil has towards Acura 💙
Additional to making this beautiful skit, thank you for placing an asian into different career roles. This is the representation that Wong Fu always gifted me through my teenage years until now. I just graduated from nursing school, being the 1 of 4 asian peers in a 100 student cohort. Thank you 😊
No offense to Mike Bow but I would never pass up Peter Adrian
Yunakura OMG sameeee though
yasss
Probably the cutest film I'll see this festive season. Loved it! 😳👏
🥺this was a really beautiful story not cliché at all it made me happy sad. It was amazing you guys haven’t lost your touch I’m glad to be able to see your work❤️
i cant believe peter has an 8 year old daughter and is married... like he looks so young
8yr old?! 😱
His married and has a 8 yr old. no way he looks so young in his teens!!
His girlfriend has a 9-10 year old. It’s not his. But they’ve been co-parenting. They’ve probably broken up now. Not sure.
this short makes me feel all warm and cozy inside, that was frosting terrific!
Lisa: snow in LA?
Me: global warming impact? 😂
Eliot changing his shirt
Lisa: You don’t have to do that right now
Me: Yes he dose!
“My ex cheated on me. He said he never love me.” The exact line that my ex said to me! This video is so relatable!
Ahh man...when the snow falls in the end...in my feelings...... you guys went with the La La land ending..😢😭...👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾awesome as always!
Why hello peter haven’t seen you in a while
Most heartfelt Wong Fu short I've seen in a while 😭😭😭😭😭
1:59 When I saw the Bopomofo sign I thought like it's so convenient Phil has his own restaurant now, a lot easier to ask permission for a shooting location xD
18:04 Nice that you mentioned that the Netherlands has one of the largest populations of Indonesians living outside of Indonesia. I'm one of them!
And nice that Chris is back as a narrator!
Why did I suddenly cry when I saw Elliot come back and she was with someone else 😭 This was so cute! 💕
Thank you for producing this short and thinking of the plot and everything because somehow I have been having something similar in life as well and thanks for bringing the narration to life and know that I am not the only one who's gonna think of someone like this in life. And some people can be that one to change sth so important later in life and also not leave too much hurt in me.
Omg real sneaky WF with the "Santa's real" news in the beginning 😂
Also this is amazing as usual, it's been 10 years and I still get surprised by the plot twists and the story never fails to hit me right in the feels... 🎄
He brought the snow ;-; memories preserved-frozen, but not cold
Kinda didnt like this short at first. thought it was a bit stiff and another cheeky romance story with a predictable plot and happy ending, but they didnt give us the happy ending and instead left us with random snow. I ended up appreciating how wongfu captured the worth of remembering the specialness of that past moment in your life and being thankful and at peace in the present. It is sad to me that we share intimate moments with people and end up moving on... teaches me to guard my heart not out of fear, but a love for myself and others, out of a hope for my heart to be warmed in the right season. All in all, this short was very real and unexpectedly touching at the end. Thanks wongfu for handling a real-life circumstance through the lens of irony, random elf bringing random snow. It's important to recognize those we've moved on from have unexpectedly touched us, changed us, left deep or even brief impressions upon our lives that we can choose to let affect us negatively or positively. I choose to appreciate as much snow in my life as I can. What will you choose? I hope we can all find peace and contentment when we look back on the snow that's fallen and when the unexpected winds blow again in and into our lives now and for the future.
side notes: loved chris dinh being back in wongfu creations ;-; and grrr you opened up a whole realm of possibility for the elf backstory but didnt explain it much at all >< I get that's not the focus, but it felt weird the lady character and the audience isn't invited to think much of or feel for the guy's story much at all. It's just about oh maybe can we long distance? nah. your life. my life. different. and that's ok. snow. T-T message conveyed but unbalanced feel. AND ID CHOOSE PETER OVER MIKE BOW ANY DAY. ok done. peter acted very well though. very in touch with his sentimental side
This was beautiful. I cried at the end 🥺😔
I just discovered this lovely story... exactly now around Christmas time... i am obsessed like what a beautiful funny cute and touching story... it was crazy shocking to watch a story and actually enjoy it with all the bad mainstream storytelling you can get nowadays ... this was so refreshing and just awesome world to escape to. Bravo❤️
This is one of the cutest and most unexpected shorts! I love it so much😭❤️
When he said "I am an elf."
I felt that.
WAY TO MAKE ME FEEL THINGS WHEN I WASN'T READY
Why didn't she just send Santa a letter?
Dear Santa,
I just met this wonderful guy. Unfortunately, his boss wants to send him somewhere else and take him out of my life. Personally I think it's a rather inhumane thing to do at Christmas, since the Christmas season is bad enough for some of us. Any chance this isn't going to be a horrible, cruel memory that will be etched on my soul forever? Your move.
Yours truly,
I immediately assumed this was gonna go along JRA's song
As always, wongfu never fails to surprise us with their creativity ❤️ so thankful for you guys, really loved this short! Also thank you so much for making Peter the main character here and even mentioning Indonesia ☺️ sending love from your Indonesian fan ❤️
Sometimes in life you meet somebody and it doesn't really work out but that's the opportunity it takes to open up in love again
There are lots of definitions of the word gentleman. For me, what Elliot does at 11.36 encapsulates it. Being gentle can be the greatest show of strength :)
I’m cry. Ending make me cry. Dang they really did that
I love this ❤️ and I wish it would be longer than this 🥺🥺
Loving Meg & Dia’s new holiday song in this!!! Perfect for the video 💕✨
I didn’t think the ending would make me cry 🥺🥺
15 years later and Wong Fu still likes ripping my heart out
Ah how much I was missing this type of Wong Fu short movie! Just loved it, thank you for sharing such beautiful content with the world
