<p>Ever since he first worked together with Kim Chiu in the 2023 drama thriller series <em>Linlang,</em> Paulo Avelino admitted he never imagined that they would be paired together in multiple projects consecutively after that.

Hindi ko in-expect na makakatrabaho ko si Kim. I wanted to work with her pero never ko talaga in-expect kasi after a while naging iba na rin yung tahak ng mga gusto kong gawin. So hindi ko alam na kay Kim pala ang bagsak ko (laughs),” he shared during the media day for their movie held last February 19 at the Dolphy theater inside the ABS-CBN compound.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-6" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DGP-ziQylAR/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A6%2C%22os%22%3A853102.400000006%2C%22ls%22%3A210922.70000001788%2C%22le%22%3A211505.40000000596%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="751" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-6" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/movies-series/2025/2/19/cast-ng-my-love-will-make-you-disappear-may-ikinuwento-tungkol-kina-kim-chiu-at-paulo-avelino-2048"><strong>WATCH: Cast ng &#x27;My Love Will Make You Disappear&#x27; may ikinuwento tungkol kina Kim Chiu at Paulo Avelino </strong></a></div><p>Having been paired with leading ladies like Janine Gutierrez, Maja Salvador, and Bea Alonzo as well as other top actresses throughout the years, Paulo shared why he thinks his team up with Kim is extra special.</p><p>“Actually, now that I think about it, parang never lumagpas ng dalawang beses kong katrabaho yung mga leading ladies natin sa series or sa movie sa pagkakaalala ko.
