Ever since the launch of the love team KimPau in the series Linlang, fans have been going gaga over the chemistry between the show’s lead stars Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino.

Now, their fans are looking forward to the upcoming Philippine adaptation of What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim (WWWSK) starring Kim and Paulo because it shows another side of this love team not very much seen before.

So far, here are some of the sweet moments that make the fans go delulu (delusional) about the two ending up with each other someday.

Kim placing her hand on Paulo’s shin and knee

In what seemed to be a break from their shoots, they were spotted sitting close to each other, exchanging banters, and Kim casually placing one of her hands on Paulo’s shin and knee.

The shoot itself had a lot of sweet moments going on between the two, one of which required Kim to move closer to Paulo and pull his tie.

In another shot, they were sitting on a coach. Paulo projected the narcissistic aura of an executive as Kim comfortably leaned her head against his shoulder.

They were directed to move their faces closer in another shot and stare at each other.

It was an awkward moment but both lightly laughed about it afterwards.

Sino’ng gwapa?

During their show at the Dinagyang Festival in Iloilo on January 28, 2024, Paulo asked the audience “Sin-o na nga guwapa?” while pointing at Kim.

He repeated the same question, which got more cheers from the audience.

Kim seemed a bit flustered, but ended up holding hands with Paulo.

More relaxed song performance in Iloilo

Kim and Paulo were sweet to each other also during their appearance in ASAP Natin ‘To Milan in Italy last September 16, 2023, but it was obvious they were just getting to know each other then.

They’ve grown more relaxed around each other by the time they did their Iloilo show.

While Paulo was singing the first few parts of Habang Buhay by Zack Tabudlo, Kim, who was supposed to meet him halfway on stage, played coy and avoided facing him head-on.

Her playful gesture sent fans going kilig to the hilt, especially when the duo finally met halfway with Paulo placing his hand on Kim’s lower back.

Paulo’s surprise appearance

In one of Kim’s Fit Check events, fans spotted Paulo among the crowd despite his disguise. He was wearing a face mask and a cap to escape attention because he had no reason to be there as he was not part of any of the performances.

Paulo’s first vlog

Kim invited Paulo and JM De Guzman to her vlog as her way of getting a break from the Linlang intense scenes and lines they had to perform and deliver.

Kim introduced the two by explaining that being men of few words, Paulo and JM had not gotten used to vlogging.

She said, “Hindi sila sanay sa vlogging, wala silang vlog.”

But JM quickly corrected her,”May vlog ako!”

Kim’s response, “Ay, oo, vlogger ka,” and then she looked at Paulo to ask, “Ikaw?”

He said, “Ako… iniiwasan ko lahat ng mga vlogs, so na-corner ako ni Kim. So ito ang first vlog na makakasama ako.”

Kim, beaming, reacted, “Malakas ako sa iyo, yun lang yun,” which made Paulo laugh.

In one of the ABS-CBN interviews of the pair for their upcoming series WWWSK, Kim commented about Paulo not laughing that much.

She said while lightly nudging Paulo’s arm, “…mabibilang mo lang talaga sa kamay niya. Pero ngayon, dadami na yung tawa niya, ‘no?”

To which Paulo quipped, “Pina-practice ko na nga. Tawa na ako nang tawa para hindi na mahirap sa akin pag nag-shoot na.”
