Kim Chiu & Paulo Avelino: Conquering Fears, Manifesting Dreams, and Unveiling Chemistry in ‘My Love Will Make You Disappear’
MY LOVE WILL MAKE YOU DISAPPEAR
Directed by Chad Vidanes from an original screenplay by Patrick Valencia and Isabella Policarpio, My Love Will Make You Disappear continues ABS-CBN Films’ legacy of bringing Filipino storytelling to a global audience. With its universal themes of love, resilience, and fate, the film embraces kilig – the uniquely Filipino feeling of romantic exhilaration—as a cultural export, inviting international audiences to experience the magic of Pinoy romance.
Sari (Kim Chiu) has spent her life believing she is cursed – every man she loves mysteriously disappears. To protect herself from heartbreak, she has sworn off romance – until she meets Jolo (Paulo 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. Will she risk everything, even if it means Jolo might disappear too?
Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino have captivated audiences together in two major television hits, Linlang and What Happened to Secretary Kim. While both have starred in highly successful films individually, My Love Will Make You Disappear marks the first time they are headlining a movie together, making this one of the most highly anticipated Filipino film pairings of the year.
Kim Chiu, one of the Philippines’ most beloved actresses, has a track record of box-office hits across genres, from romantic comedies (Bride for Rent), to drama (Etiquette for Mistresses), and horror (The Ghost Bride). She brings Sari’s vulnerability, humor, and strength to life with her signature charm and depth.
Paulo Avelino, acclaimed for his intense and layered performances (Heneral Luna, Fan Girl), plays Jolo, a man at a crossroads. His ability to blend brooding charisma with humor and heart makes him a compelling romantic lead.
Their proven on-screen chemistry and combined social media following of over 40 million have already fueled enormous excitement for their big-screen debut as a tandem.
As with its mother company, ABS-CBN, ABS-CBN Film Productions, Inc. is committed to being in the service of the Filipino worldwide. For more information, please visit https://ent.abs-cbn.com/starcinema
