Full interview: Kim Chiu, Paulo Avelino on 'Secretary Kim' adaptation | ABS-CBN News

Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino are thrilled to be paired anew in a second consecutive series, this time with a lighter story that has a touch of comedy - Viu and ABS-CBN's adaptation of the hit South Korean title "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim?".
"Ito kami ulit!" Chiu said, referring to her back-to-back projects with Avelino, with whom she first co-starred in the romance drama "Linlang."
"Makakatawa na tayo!" Avelino quipped, noting the switch of genres between the two series and his rare casting in a romantic-comedy.
In their joint interview with ABS-CBN News, Chiu and Avelino also spoke of the "pressure" from doing a local version of a well-loved K-drama, their working relationship, and the support for their tandem that ultimately led to their pairing in "Secretary Kim."

[@crisguia]

Paulo wanted to work with Kim Chiu since he became a Kapamilya in 2011. It's amazing that he had to wait almost 13 years for it to happen. Maybe he saw then that they would have such a strong chemistry.

[@wilybesumampong8662]

tagal na din pala ni Paulo sa ABS as Kapamilya.

[@crisguia]

Do you know what the Vice Chairman's name will be in the adaptation? I think it's Lee Yeong Joon in the original. Paulo's top executive roles had names that suited him, like Teddy, Lance, Carlos, Simon and Andrei.

Same! Naging fan nya din ako dun. Hanggang ngayon
