I have heard about this After series long ago and I want to watch it once . So I choose to watch it after my exam . I watched the 5 of them in one shot .
Only the first part is sort of good for me . Tessa who was thinking that she was leading a good life with her mother and her boyfriend yet to understand her own happiness . Hardin on the other hand despite being a mess yet he understand that Tessa is a special girl and he actually kindaa back off from the bet after their kiss although he said I Love you at the same time and I don't understand it was true or he did it for bet . Anyways he understand it's her first time ,make himself fall for her unknowingly and may be somewhat thinking that Tessa could possibly help him in his mess, he shares his story with her and their first time was beautiful that's what reflects love the gentleness . I like the first one actually . First Hardin was a mess and he thought he don't deserve love and he couldn't possibly believe getting love from a sweetheart like Tessa ..
Now for rest of the movies is more or less the mini version of Fifty shades series to me from the second part . I know many of you may not agree but yeaah all I saw they everytime they patch up having s_x and they don't talk to each other actually they can't talk to each other as everytime ,they open their mouth they have a fight and Hardin just run away . And the thing that somehow stuck in my mind in most of the intimate scenes (except the first part After ) they have got naked , smooch and have done s_x scenes only like putting his into her and do the up down thing which makes me realise this is supposed to be making love not just f_cking each other . Since I have seen all the parts together so again I just saw the same intimate scenes repeating over and over again .
I get it Hardin got a very bad abusive childhood so as Tessa got a bad childhood too , both of their father ran with Hardin's mother being more complicated and Tessa mother being so controlling but Hardin is toxic . He says he keeps on trying but cannot see much of his trying . He don't listen to Tessa's word and react just after hearing a single word , he don't even wait for a single minute and let her complete the sentence atleast .
And why the hell they include the whole Part that Tessa can't be pregnant and even if she it will end up being a miscarriage when they have to show her pregnant in the last part just like that . Had they won't have shown her pregnant it can still be taken that they adopt the girl and they are happy together .
In the last 4 series there are actually few emotional scenes between Hardin and Tessa bcoz more or less e everytime their screen times are filled up with intimate scenes and very little emotional touch in the beginning . Even they did the same in the last part where they reunite after 1-2 years or something and They just saw each other got one alone time and next thing I know Tessa start opening the buttons of his cloths .
I am sorry but for me Love has a language . It is not just having s_x . Don't make it plzz like that . The best intimate feeling one can ever get when they can communicate with their partner freely , can open up in front of them , can act stupid , can actually share stuffs , don't lie to each other , believe in them , listens to them . This series is better than Fifty shades I will say but still It lags emotion a lot atleast that's what I think .
