a reunion of two individuals who once lost their way
was this cliché? maybe. yes but also no.i liked the way the story was unfolded, how every object in the house symbolises a valuable memory for the leads and also how the camerawork and aesthetics matches well with the scenarios. the slight comedy fits as well and didn't feel over the top. the way everything was played out in this movie seemed to be carefully pieced together and properly showed how beautiful character development is.
it would've been really interesting for an alternate ending where the two completely part ways as they ended on a clean note. while the ending may seem cliché, it felt fulfilling or like a sort of relief. the chemistry between the leads honestly made this movie a joy to watch and i might start watching more of their work.
overall, what a wonderfully directed and written story of romance where a rough start brought about a hopeful ending.

Mostly, because of the terrific performances by Daniel Padilla and Kathryn Bernardo-the superstar on-screen (and off-screen) couple that continue to move thousand of heart all over the country,including mine.Although i am from Sweden. We get to follow a long time couple George and Primo who both love and struggle in their life together.What truly amazed me by both George and Primo is their need for each other,and how lost both were without each other.Both also knew it in their souls.George wanted to support Primo in his dreams of becoming a famous musician, she endured his temper and pride and stubborness in trying to achieve that dream...Primo saw that despite the cloud that consumed him. But a person can only take that much and it is clearly understandable when George exploded. My heart totally broke for these two.Their love and hopelessness...how they still loved each other with all their souls after all these years. How many unforgettable moments to treasure, i absolutely love the sexual tension that always sizzled between Primo and George-and it was easy to see why Daniel and Kathryn have stayed strong in their relationship for almost a decade.They easily convey the emotions their characters feel.We also get beautiful sets of Amsterdam,so happy they filmed there since i also want to travel there someday.

First of all, the trailer shows a little too much. I think you should watch around half of it, and if you are into these types of movies, you should definitely watch it.
This movie was really enjoyable. It tells the story of the two main characters from the start of their relationship to the end. While it does have some cliche's from rom coms, but the dialog really makes it much smarter and a little deeper. The comedy is not goofy, and pretty light, brought tons of smiles, yet did not make me laugh out loud. But I was not looking for that.
The music is great, as one of the main characters is a musician. There was a great scene where music triggers a memory, and it was pretty funny. I also really like the camera shots in this film. You'll notice the lighting is great even in dark scenes. For example, there was a dark scene in the kitchen where a character was in the foreground, but you could also see the 2nd character in the background, out of focus on purpose , but you could see exactly what they were doing because the lighting from the outside would silhouette the character. It was filmed real great.
The acting was great for the two main characters; you could feel the chemistry. There were so many scenes that were adorable, the cuteness overload is real. The supporting cast though, the acting was kinda meh, sometimes a little over the top. But it didn't detract from the movie as a whole. Overall a great movie that I would recommend to people that like romcoms where a couple is already established, but work to get over their problems with each other.

Just Your Typical Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla Movie
It is what it is... and well you get what you signed up for a bunch of cliches, a mediocre story but great chemistry an easy watch and puppy eyes.As the hows of us tell the story of the failed musician who may be good at writing lyrics and debating stuff but completely forgets how to use words when he actually needs them. And the women who tried so hard to make things work that she ended up completely exhausted, and without a diploma.
Though a bunch of flash backs here and there ewe get to see bickering, slight stalking, lovely umbrellas and the making of a disastrous relationship, it's good times, it's bad times all the way to We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together (Taylor Swift song not included). To wait will they get back together? or can they at leas be friends type of deal.
There is little to know consistency in this drama and the details are a bit off but when you are in the mood for a Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla movie with it's usual stuff this is a decent place to get it. As it is a movie you watch for those two and pretty much nothing else...

Being perfect with flaws is what makes the difference!
"It's easier to give up when it hurts, to leave when it gets tiring. But what you really need, is patience. If you only held on you would still learn those things."This is me finishing the last movie of KathlNiel with puffy eyes and heavy heart. And if you ask, "how's is it?" I would say, you need to watch this yourself to feel the emotions I felt.
It might be a cliche to some but someone out there will still enjoy this movie as it is.
This is literally a break-up story of a young lovers Primo & George, who went through ups and downs in life just to realise they belonged together forever. But their realisation was not easy as they ended their relationship in bad terms. The believe they had in eachother started fading with the each year and oneday the feelings outbursted, they were left scarred for life.
KathlNiel's acting once again was undoubtedly brilliant. You can not tell if they're acting or just being themselves. As they we know they were a real couple (currently they're not anymore) which really helped them to intensify their chemistry. The emotions were portrayed unfiltered, real and raw, so that you can put yourself in their place and judge the situation.
Now the only problem I have is, I expected it to be an open ending or a sad ending than a happy ending because that would give proper justice to FL and what she's been through. ML is not a jerk but still he left her when she needed him the most. I believe breaking up once shows how fragile that relationship is. It doesn't matter how many times you try to put it back together, the crack will be still there poking the old wounds.
But regardless of all the shortcomings I thoroughly enjoyed it and recommend it to all the happy ending loving romanticists. Make sure to have enough tissues.

Not communicating is not trusting
The guy is considered a dreamer and stuck to his dreams while with his live in girlfriend. The girl was very patient with him, but patience does not mean you won't explode.The time she had it with him, and told him to leave, he left and never gave an explanation not apologized to her nor console her. years later he showed up and his friend told her of the reason he left. Personally to me the girl is super loyal to their love that without knowing why the man she loved left after the fight they had still did not move on to find a new love is beyond me. They ended up together so it's a happy ending
