Ang ganda ng LOVE YOU STRANGER! Interesting ang kwento. Nakakakaba, na nakakakilig, then may comedy. Halo-halo! Ang perfect ng cinematography and color grading, and okay din ang scoring! Congratulations @GMA_PA! Quality talaga gumawa ang GMA Public Affairs!#LYSWorldPremiere

Love You Stranger failed to sustain its predecessor, the drama anthology Mano Po Legacy: Her Big Boss, which concluded on June 2 with a 7.6% rating, ranking 6th on the leaderboards of AGB Nielsen.
Love You Stranger was expected to release on GTV in the first quarter of 2021; however, GMA Network opted to postpone its airing due to a rise of COVID-19 cases in the country.
Following the cancellation of their series, Garcia and Ramos starred in the three-week mini-series Stories From The Heart: Love On-Air.
Love You Stranger is Ramos’ first full-length project since joining the GMA Network.
The series revolves around LJ (Gabbi), a film production designer, and Ben (Khalil), a director. They filmed in Sta Castela; an ancient town said to be haunted by a shadow demon known as Lilom.
Love You Stranger airs after Bolera every Monday to Thursday at 9:35 p.m.
