To me, Evan Rachel Wood will always be one of the best young actresses ever. She had such a mature and vulnerable essence to her. It never felt like acting.
This is without a doubt one of the most honest, well written and acted lesbian storylines I've ever seen. I can't believe this existed in the early 00s and it's never mentioned? It should be an important part of lesbian media history, they were treated as another couple not just the token gay story, I'm so overwhelmed. I'd like to thank Evan Rachel Wood for this, she always gives herself completely to her performance since she was a kid, she's phenomenal.
I first discovered these two when I was 15... 12 years later they still get to me, they're so cute. Shame the show was cancelled after it's third season, would have loved to see their relationship develop
I watched it last year. I really like how Jesse discovers her sexual. Just be yourself! Furthermore I really appreciate how theirs society accept who they are! I really appreciate their parents and siblings encouraging them
this is the most RAW & REAL depiction of what it is like to go through such feelings. the internalised homophobia. the mixed emotions. the supportive & unsupportive side of society. chefs kiss for this 2000s production.
Hahahsh so true, and Jessie looks with so much adoration to Katie's energetic or crazy side, melts my heart... and the way they can match each other's energy (like Katie becoming more calm and relaxed when Jessie is around, and Jessie getting all excited and bubbly when Katie is in her "puppy mood") makes it even more special.
I was exactly their age during 1999 and 2000 and I never saw or heard of this and it reeks of Canadian influence and highly efficient early WB spin off of 7th heaven
@@matthewwalsh3399 How does it "reek of Canadian influence"? Your comment makes no sense. And this show is worlds away from 7th Heaven (which started out good but sank into cliché, unbelievable story-lines and stupid dialogue).
I was 16 when i had my first girlfriend. It was a lot like this. Innocent, nervousness, internal and external fear, did i mention nervousness?? Haha we both were each others first girlfriends, so we didnt really know....how to act or what to do around each other. I just remember a lot of silence. And intense stares. She has these big greenish blue eyes and id get lost in them. It was like we spoke without even speaking to each other. I remember standing in her room leaning and against her wall and she was on her bed and she asked, "are you okay?" And i looked at her and then looked down embarrassed and she got up, walked over to me, and with those big green eyes looked straight into my soul and said, "its okay, im scared too..." Im 28. Its been well over a decade. Ill never forget her. There was something just so...mesmerizing about her. This movie brought back fond memories of a person who til this day has a special place in my heart. :) and she has a piece of mine, and its hers to keep.
Wow, Jessie and Katie are pure love. Their first kiss is very precious, it melt my heart and also the kiss in the fridge, so cute. I want to see more of them, please! How I wish Evan Rachel Wood and Mischa Barton would have another movie together. Or contuination of this story 20 years later or something.

She started to feel something for her not like when she got kissed by a boy and didn't like it, she thought she would never have that feeling but for Katie she does and it's so cute
Almost 20 years later, and i´m still here, i was so little when i watched it. I had a huge crush on Rachel, and i still have! She is such a great actress. My babe Mischa, after this show made O.C, and i was so happy to see her again, and playing a bissexual character there too!
This show is precious. Not only it made me fall in love for Evan Rachel Woods but also made me be a big fan of Billie Holiday. And I watched Lost and Delirious to many times to count. Mischa was amazing and the movie is to tear your eyes off 😭❤
I had seen this video years back and I always end up watching it over and over because this story relates a lot and that innocent school love is so genuine. I want every straight people to know that we fall in love just like them and that we are not some horny people.
this video is really close to me and I rewatch it from time to time if I get the chance, it's like youtube just shows this on my recommended, and that's a sign for me to rewatch. I really think that this storyline is beyond it's years. jessie and katie were portrayed perfectly, it just shows the innocent and bittersweet feeling of experiencing love with a girl as a girl at a young age. their love is so raw and innocent and I'm really glad we have this type of representation in this media ❤
I saw this in 2021 and it brought back a lot of memories of when I was an insecure girl and I used to think I was dirty and impure, I felt guilty about liking girls and it was bc religious impositions but when I saw this video it gave me a lot of peace to think that their love was pure that it was not true what they told me. This video helped me a lot in my process to accepting myself.
I really like the series, is so beautiful and so sweet :3 Today, it is difficult to find this love. Where gradually they fall in love and the relationship really works. And above all, that the family accepts it, this is very complicated, most people do not accepts it. Most people are homophobic, and I understand that they do not share the belief of same-sex love, but at least should respect :( Remember: "Respect the rights of others is peace"
Two of my all time crushes how have I never seen this! They are so sweet. What a lovely storyline and so well performed by such young actors. Just wow.
I fucking love those lines "I can't throw it away, I wanna keep it forever"🤧🙂🌹,this is the most incredible short film I've ever watched, it's so inspiring and I was just crying, laughing, smiling while watching the whole scenes I wanna watch more of this..... ♥️🎀
am actually amaze that people still watch this, I remember watching it when it first air and then staying up until 2 am to watch again (this was before youtube or even free stream)I always thought they were the cutest things ever
I genuinely believe around the turn of the millenium, was the peak time for emotionally involving storylines, with real heart. Directors and writers really seemed to know how to play things then
God the interaction with her mom makes me so emotional because if I could’ve had a talk similar with my mom about how boys didn’t spark anything within me, I’d have done it. Although it wasn’t really an option on the table.
they dont make movies like this anymore this was the best and most relateable story for many lesbian, or who are still trying to find themselves, the chemistry they had was so real and they are the most pretty couple perfect match.
Please sign the petition to have once and again put on streaming services! The third season was never released in dvd and that's where Jessie X Katie's relationship takes place, it's an amazing series and it would be amazing to have access to the full thing
Oh my god lol. I thought this aired between somewhere 2009++ at least, I'm shocked that it was 1999-2002! Such a brillant show omg I wasn't even born when this first aired then!
About the first page of the letter that Katie gives to Jessie ,what I could managed... "Dear Jessie... I... this letter because it seems like...but i´m not sure forgive me but i can´t think of why and i think you should tell me because...if you are my (friend?) maybe things are so (weird/hard).

CAN'T STOP WATHING THIS, I CANTTTTTTTTT I FEEL LIKE ITS ALWAYS THE FIRST TIME EVERY TIME I WATCH THEM KISS. I LOVE THE LONGING & THE DESIRE OR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER, PLS
I haven't seen any of O&A in 15 years, and watching this brought back how good it was. It was constantly on the verge of cancellation, despite the acclaim and awards. We were very lucky to get three seasons. I was most interested in the stories of the adult characters (Lily, Rick, Karen, Judy, and even Jake), but Evan Rachel Wood was such a precocious talent. The other young actors in the edit above are great as well. What I had remembered most through the years (briefly touched on in the edit) was Susanna Thompson's portrayal of Karen's depression, and then recovery from the accident. It's so cool to me to find out that another story that was going on at the same time stayed with others the same way. Every character on O&A was written and acted with sensitivity and fullness. It was proof that great dramas had not ALL gone to cable by 1999-2002. A shame not enough people were watching one of the few good ones left.
Still my favorite, Jessie and Katie love story ❤️ I really ship them so much. So happy that its a happy ending for them 💕Their chemistry in this show is so great. Wish they had more tv shows/movies together. I miss them 😢
I miss Misha Barton on my screen. The ever so well dress, sexually fluid beautiful roles that she played. I mean, the girl made me realised I wasn't straight! Thanks The OC, Misha, and the gorgeous Olivia Wilde 😍 Yep, I've been pretty queer ever since and I love every minute of it! Back in those days we didn't have a lot of representation. I think their kiss was the firs girl on girl kiss I ever watched and oh boy, did I feel something! 💃🏻🌈
I'm so jealous of whoever got to live a story like this, an innocent and pure love in your teenage years, i feel like nothing compares to it.

A : Omg
B : What
A : I just ... ehm
B : I know
sense? 😂
lol
me when i kissed my first girlfriend 😂😂
terlik 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂you r soooo funny
That's right.
She started to feel something for her not like when she got kissed by a boy and didn't like it, she thought she would never have that feeling but for Katie she does and it's so cute
“Tad why don’t you get a life while we’re gone” 😂😂😂gold
Lol 🤣🤣
Almost 20 years later, and i´m still here, i was so little when i watched it. I had a huge crush on Rachel, and i still have! She is such a great actress. My babe Mischa, after this show made O.C, and i was so happy to see her again, and playing a bissexual character there too!
Mischa Barton had that way of really looking into people's eyes
Exactly they have amazing chemistry but I can only really look at her and see marissa cooper and ship malex
I've always had a giant crush on Evan Rachel Wood 😍
omg they both pretty....
Was aw-ing the whole time. My heart stopped when they kissed. These 2 gets me all the time, just adorable😍
Mischa Barton, is fantastic in everything she does. I think she's fantastic.
I TOTALLY agree!!
A shame she doesnt act anymore
This show is precious. Not only it made me fall in love for Evan Rachel Woods but also made me be a big fan of Billie Holiday. And I watched Lost and Delirious to many times to count. Mischa was amazing and the movie is to tear your eyes off 😭❤
My favorite short film of all time.
cyberageal it's a series lol
She-Rex She was just kidding. Because it is almost an hour she called it a short film lol
@@SnapszDuhh they didn’t phrase it like a joke
Found this last year in 2023 but i still come back here!!!! This is just everything. Much love from Uganda ❤❤
Can’t get over how baby Evan and Mischa are in here. They’re so adorable 🥰❤️

13:25 I love the cheers of support when she stands up for herself
I had seen this video years back and I always end up watching it over and over because this story relates a lot and that innocent school love is so genuine.
I want every straight people to know that we fall in love just like them and that we are not some horny people.
me too
amen to that!!
Same this like my comfort video
Yeah but if they were fat it wouldn't be as great
this video is really close to me and I rewatch it from time to time if I get the chance, it's like youtube just shows this on my recommended, and that's a sign for me to rewatch. I really think that this storyline is beyond it's years. jessie and katie were portrayed perfectly, it just shows the innocent and bittersweet feeling of experiencing love with a girl as a girl at a young age. their love is so raw and innocent and I'm really glad we have this type of representation in this media ❤
Jessie and Katie are a good couple ever in the whole world
I love when two beautiful girls fall in love, so sweet....romatic secret...
me toi
me too

Dwi Sulistiorini Me too... Where r u from? I'm Indo?
I never get tired of watching their scenes like I totally memorized some script lol
GIRL SAME😭! It’s like I know who both of them r inside and out. I could just look at the script and tell if Jessie or Katie said it!
I CANT STOP LAUGHING AT UR PFP
I saw this in 2021 and it brought back a lot of memories of when I was an insecure girl and I used to think I was dirty and impure, I felt guilty about liking girls and it was bc religious impositions but when I saw this video it gave me a lot of peace to think that their love was pure that it was not true what they told me.
This video helped me a lot in my process to accepting myself.
I really like the series, is so beautiful and so sweet :3
Today, it is difficult to find this love.
Where gradually they fall in love and the relationship really works.
And above all, that the family accepts it, this is very complicated, most people do not accepts it.
Most people are homophobic, and I understand that they do not share the belief of same-sex love, but at least should respect :(
Remember: "Respect the rights of others is peace"
Ditha Quintanilla what is the name of this serie?
But of course, you're right!
Amen!
@@ValeriaMartinez-vo7fh The series is called The OC
Two of my all time crushes how have I never seen this! They are so sweet. What a lovely storyline and so well performed by such young actors. Just wow.
DOLORES, i didnt even recognize her, she looks so differnt as an adult, but gorgeous.
chevon1920 is she the one from mean girls
shit i thought i was the only one hahaha that's why Dolores looks so familiar to me
Omg they’re both gorgeous and I love their chemistry
That fridge scene is just 🥰🥰🥰 it’s so pure and so cute ❤️❤️❤️
And Evan Rachel Wood is such a good actress since forever...
I fucking love those lines "I can't throw it away, I wanna keep it forever"🤧🙂🌹,this is the most incredible short film I've ever watched, it's so inspiring and I was just crying, laughing, smiling while watching the whole scenes
I wanna watch more of this..... ♥️🎀
It’s a tv show luv
Called once and again
am actually amaze that people still watch this, I remember watching it when it first air and then staying up until 2 am to watch again (this was before youtube or even free stream)I always thought they were the cutest things ever
I genuinely believe around the turn of the millenium, was the peak time for emotionally involving storylines, with real heart. Directors and writers really seemed to know how to play things then
i want a girlriend :(
I understand the feeling :(
too girls
a love
Same :(
lucy kittel hi,where are you from??
I want to watch this video for the first time again. I watched it for the first time years ago and the feeling I got can never be replicated!!
God the interaction with her mom makes me so emotional because if I could’ve had a talk similar with my mom about how boys didn’t spark anything within me, I’d have done it. Although it wasn’t really an option on the table.
Wait why is their acting so good tho and Jessie is actually so pretty I can’t get over it
Do you know the name of the series, movie?
@@lohanasilva860 Once and again
Shit got me all emotional at six in the morning.
Queen B du
Queen B 😂😂😂you get me😂😂
Fr
It's 2am and I just started yelling and chanting "kiss, kiss, kiss!"
saaaaame xD
Still the gold standard for all other TV storylines of young, first time, same-sex love stories to be measured by.
they dont make movies like this anymore this was the best and most relateable story for many lesbian, or who are still trying to find themselves, the chemistry they had was so real and they are the most pretty couple perfect match.
TV series - not movie. Ran for three seasons.
The kiss was so cute 😍
Please sign the petition to have once and again put on streaming services!
The third season was never released in dvd and that's where Jessie X Katie's relationship takes place, it's an amazing series and it would be amazing to have access to the full thing
This is better than many recent wlw shows, the acting is so on point 👌 Kudos to the actresses 👏
Oh my god lol. I thought this aired between somewhere 2009++ at least, I'm shocked that it was 1999-2002! Such a brillant show omg I wasn't even born when this first aired then!
About the first page of the letter that Katie gives to Jessie ,what I could managed...
"Dear Jessie...
I... this letter because it seems like...but i´m not sure
forgive me but i can´t think of why and i think you should tell me because...if you are my (friend?)
maybe things are so (weird/hard). And maybe this is because of me and I don´t know maybe its because of everything and if it´s ..
I really sorry for even getting this...
see,the... i want to cry is.... "
(following there is a part that is crossed out that said "because i think about us". Then i can managed "miss you")
And i just got blind for so much ZOOM *_* Sorry for my english
THANNK YOU FOR THIS :"") lol i can see how hard you tried to read the letter XD
LOL.. What an effort. 😄 I tried to read it also when I paused the video but i give up in 2 seconds. 😆😆😆
Celes Reinoso 😁😁😁
Celes Reinoso THANK YOU SO MUCH 😃 I have been looking for this so hard 😂
I tried! Lol ;)
this is honestly one of the more beautiful stories about a lesbian relationship i've seen in a long.. long time.. this is just.. oh my god..
They were guys or just girls?
the way I've watched this like a hundred times now...
I come back to this at least twice a year and watch the whole thing every time
Me too- THEYRE my comfort ship🤞
@@AppofNOBLELY it seems oddly realistic, not live other more recent movies and tv shows
@@tammynguyen2373 IKK I remember finding this video about 5 years ago and I think abt it often. It’s such a good storyline, it’s not forced like some others and others are like rlly sexual. This will always be #1 tbh
@@AppofNOBLELY YES! I remember first finding this when I was about 14 and it was so different from other lgbt relationships portrayed on screen and I just fell in love with it
I’m here again :D
I love graces reaction in 38:00 when she is knowing on the door to get into the bathroom. And the mother knocks on the door saying Jessie's on the phone and she opens the and graces look was classic 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you. I've been waiting a long time for a high quality version of their story. It is unmatched, in my opinion.
I remember what a big damn deal this was at the time. People could not wrap their minds around the storyline. This show was ahead of its time.
43:47 - I'm just enchanted by her beauty and how the sunlight emphasizes it even more 💖
She's simply beautiful 😍
I don’t know how I got here or what Once and Again is really about but this was amazing. Their story felt so real. Im definitely checking out the show.
I have watched this like 20 times and loved it everytime 😊
CAN'T STOP WATHING THIS, I CANTTTTTTTTT I FEEL LIKE ITS ALWAYS THE FIRST TIME EVERY TIME I WATCH THEM KISS. I LOVE THE LONGING & THE DESIRE OR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER, PLS
This video is never gets bored like they both are soo good and perfect for each other
I haven't seen any of O&A in 15 years, and watching this brought back how good it was. It was constantly on the verge of cancellation, despite the acclaim and awards. We were very lucky to get three seasons. I was most interested in the stories of the adult characters (Lily, Rick, Karen, Judy, and even Jake), but Evan Rachel Wood was such a precocious talent. The other young actors in the edit above are great as well. What I had remembered most through the years (briefly touched on in the edit) was Susanna Thompson's portrayal of Karen's depression, and then recovery from the accident. It's so cool to me to find out that another story that was going on at the same time stayed with others the same way.
Every character on O&A was written and acted with sensitivity and fullness. It was proof that great dramas had not ALL gone to cable by 1999-2002. A shame not enough people were watching one of the few good ones left.
Still my favorite, Jessie and Katie love story ❤️ I really ship them so much. So happy that its a happy ending for them 💕Their chemistry in this show is so great. Wish they had more tv shows/movies together. I miss them 😢
"I WANT MY MOMMY" I'm sorry but that cracked my so bad!
M0nst3r _bunny i thought i was the only one 😂😂😂
😁 same
M0nst3r _bunny you ass
OMG...
I had to skip it cause when she walked down them stairs I knew she was fixing to do something I was gone laugh at😭
I miss Misha Barton on my screen. The ever so well dress, sexually fluid beautiful roles that she played.
I mean, the girl made me realised I wasn't straight! Thanks The OC, Misha, and the gorgeous Olivia Wilde 😍
Yep, I've been pretty queer ever since and I love every minute of it!
Back in those days we didn't have a lot of representation. I think their kiss was the firs girl on girl kiss I ever watched and oh boy, did I feel something! 💃🏻🌈
