Nasarapan Ba si Alden sa Pakikipag-laplapan kay Kathryn na Hindi Ginawa ni Daniel Padilla sa Ex-GF? Kathryn Bernardo’s Kiss with Alden Richards: Enjoyed or Just a Job?

There has been an ongoing debate about whether Alden Richards truly enjoyed her intense kissing scenes with Kathryn Bernardo in their latest film or if it was just another acting commitment. Their movie, Hello, Love, Again, the much-awaited sequel to the blockbuster Hello, Love, Goodbye, has kept fans buzzing with its jaw-dropping scenes—especially for the kiss that Kathryn never shared with her long-time on-screen and off-screen partner, Daniel Padilla.

For some fans, the five-year wait for a new KathDen movie was worth every second. They praised the chemistry and intense performances of Kathryn and Alden, noting how they both brought depth and new dynamics to the storyline. But there were others who felt slightly disappointed, as many loyal KathNiel fans simply couldn’t imagine Kathryn in such an intimate scene with someone other than Daniel.

One of the most surprising aspects of Hello, Love, Again was Kathryn’s willingness to go for a full-on kissing scene with Alden, something she hadn’t done in her past movies, even those with Daniel. Many fans took to social media, jokingly dubbing Alden as the “one who baptized” Kathryn’s lips on screen, a privilege that was never afforded to her previous leading man.

Interestingly, some audience members remarked that Kathryn seemed to enjoy her kiss with Alden, while Alden appeared somewhat more reserved in the scene. For others, it was merely an on-screen act, arguing that the real “first kiss” of Kathryn’s life belongs to Daniel in a genuine sense.

Kathryn’s father, Daddy Teddy Bernardo, was present at the premiere night. After the grand kissing scene, Kathryn was reportedly seen looking for her father, curious about his reaction to her daring performance. Attendees at the premiere night noticed that he seemed approving of her performance but playfully commented that he felt Alden’s energy was lacking.

As expected, the KathNiel fandom’s die-hard loyalists remain firm in their choice not to watch the film, voicing discontent at seeing Kathryn romantically paired with someone other than Daniel. Meanwhile, KathDen supporters urge fans not to spoil the film for others, especially vloggers who have turned the scene into content for their audiences.

The movie is sparking debates and making waves as Kathryn and Alden bring a unique dynamic to their scenes. Whether enjoyed by some or avoided by others, it’s clear that Hello, Love, Again has achieved what every good movie aims to do—leave audiences talking.
