Through My Window: Across the Sea

After the first part which was ok (classic teen love story with few plots, not a masterpiece but decent), this was is such a disappointment.

The relationships between people are confusing, the dialogue is weird and unrealistic, no story was actually covered deeply - is this a story about struggles of long distance relationships? Faithfulness? Friendship? They tried to have several points, but the realisation is just weak.

The 'event' in the end - so so unnecessary. It is like they have created a movie for us to watch something while we wait for the final plot in the 3rd part. This could have been done so much better.

We all know, that the whole story was kinda toxic since the beginning.. but the first film was interesting, exciting, there was stuff happening.. in the second part alas, nothing really happens. The film is long nearly 2 hours and all you will see are lame montages like it's a music video.. i hate when netflix do that.. we don't want to see a music video, we want to be able to relate to the story.. So literally, it was so boring, nothing happens, even their acting was a lot worse than the first film.. the actress lost some weight in this one, but charisma is also missing... I was waiting for this second part for so long and i was so disappointed.. the plot is missing, the ending is depressing and honestly I don't get how it's helping the whole story.. the chemistry between them was so much in the first film, now is literally gone? What happened.. why they ruined the series? You can't even follow the storyline because there is no storyline at all, it is a hot mess... it's so dull, lacking in every aspect.. I am sad they ruined the potential this series had.. you will see only sexually suggestive scenes where they eat ice-cream lol like we care... no passion, no love..

The writers of the sequel did a great job in terms of pushing the story of Raquel and Ares forward and focused on dramatic character development. The great thing about this movie is that the sequel is not a replica/repeat of the first movie. It grows beyond the first one, moving out of teenage puppy love into adulthood

The first movie is a teen rom-com while the second movie expands into what it means to be a grown-up, the weight of your actions and dire consequences of making wrong decisions as an adult. The movie deals with growth post the couple's "honeymoon phase" where things are no longer rosy. With adulthood comes struggles, growth for each of the characters and the lessons they learn from their mistakes

The best part of the sequel is the storyline of Ares. He is the one who endures the most change, faces struggles and holds the most responsibility. He is no longer the alpha male in his protected high school environment but ventures out to the next phase in his life where stakes are higher. The movie ends with a renewed dedication to his cause (saving lives) and determination to make a difference. We also see his love for Raquel deepening in the second movie. He truly loves her in a mature manner. He is no longer a teenager but is transitioning to a mature intelligent responsible alpha adult. The actor Julio Peña who plays Ares did a greath job in this sequel showing Ares struggles and eventual maturity

I also love the movie pace. The challenges and problems are built in an ascending crescendo with each problem in Raquel and Ares relationship piling up on top of the previous, culminating in a disastrous event

This sequel is well-thought out in terms of characters, relationships and dramatic development, significantly much better than the sequels of other sagas (which are largely repetition of their first movie)

Through my window - a Spanish romantic teen drama based on a book with the same title, hit Netflix like a storm last year, as another Kissing Booth wanna be. Now it tries to flare up the flame by bringing a sequel.

The story continues where it was left by Ares studying in Stockholm while Raquel stayed behind with all their friends and family. It is a big adjustment for both of them. Can their relationship survive the test?

I must say that the beautiful beaches of Costa Brava made me feel like I was too on a holiday, and the drama between the friends gave just enough entertainment to keep on watching. But do they must force these makeshift problems and hilarious intimate scenes on the viewers?

The story line doesn't feel realistic and by the end of the movie it stretches too far into trying to be serious and dramatic with a tragic ending.

I must say I liked the first movie better, because it didn't want to be anything else than it is, while the second one was just trying too hard.

Fans will be happy to know that a third part of the trilogy Through My Window: Looking at You should arrive in 2024.

I do understand that this story was a watt pad story but being as it was made into a movie if should have been way better. The movie could have had a great continuation of the story but it was not. The movie was very poorly executed, all over the place and did not make sense for half of the movie. If you watch the first like I did you would be very disappointed how rushed and poorly made movie was. As well as a lot of the so called "plot" was not made understandable by really anyone in my opinion. For someone who has watch made movies similar to this and has not really likened those, this movie falls even under those movies. I would still recommend you watch it to get your own opinion but this was mine..
