Trailer Watch: Ali Wong Reconnects with Her Childhood Sweetheart in “Always Be My Maybe”

"Always Be My Maybe"

Sasha Tran’s life seems perfect. She’s a happily engaged celebrity chef who’s about open another high-end restaurant. But things go sideways when she returns to her hometown, San Francisco, to begin work on said restaurant. In a new trailer for Netflix rom-com “Always Be My Maybe,” Sasha (Ali Wong) is dumped shortly after seeing her childhood sweetheart for the first time in 15 years.

Sasha and Marcus (Randall Park) quickly become friends again and slip back into their old dynamic — minus the romance. “I guess I have to start dating again,” Sasha mentions to Marcus after her breakup. “Is there anything worse?”

Meanwhile, the exes’ friends and family wonder why they don’t just make a go of it already. “You and Marcus are so cute. Remind me why you never got together?” Sasha’s friend asks. “There’s way too much history there,” she replies.

Sasha and Marcus have known each other forever. Yet the clip suggests their history is exactly why they should be a couple.

Wong and Park wrote “Always Be My Maybe” with Michael Golamco. The former two’s “Fresh Off the Boat” collaborator Nahnatchka Khan directed.

You can catch Wong now as the voice of Bertie, an anxious songbird, in Netflix’s “Tuca & Bertie.” She’s released two stand-up specials, “Baby Cobra” and “Hard Knock Wife.” Her on-screen credits include “American Housewife,” “Black Box,” and “Inside Amy Schumer.” She co-star in Cathy Yan’s Harley Quinn blockbuster “Birds of Prey,” set to bow in February 2020.

“Always Be My Maybe” hits select theaters and Netflix May 31.
