We were joined on the Popternative show by Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino who star in rom-com, My Love Will Make You Disappear. The film opens in theaters across the U.S. and Canada on March 28, and was released in theaters in the Philippines on March 26.
Kim and Paulo have captivated audiences together in two television hits, Linlang (2023) and What Happened to Secretary Kim (2024), but My Love Will Make You Disappear marks the first time they are starring in a feature movie together.
Directed by Chad Vidanes (What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim) in his feature debut from an original screenplay by Patrick Valencia (Etiquette for Mistresses) and Isabella Policarpio (Teen Clash), My Love Will Make You Disappear continues ABS-CBN Films’ legacy of bringing Filipino storytelling to a global audience.
The film follows Sari (Chiu) who has spent her life believing she is cursed since every man she loves mysteriously disappears. To protect herself from heartbreak, she swears off romance until she meets Jolo (Avelino), a brooding landlord weighed down by personal failures and the burden of inheriting a struggling apartment complex. As Jolo and Sari work together to save the community from being displaced, their bond deepens. But for Sari, love has always come at a price and contemplates risking everything even if it means Jolo might disappear.
Watch the full conversation with Kim and Paulo below where they discuss reuniting on screen, working in the rom-com genre, and more.
My Love Will Make You Disappear is now playing in theaters in U.S. and Canada.
