Actress and TV host Kim Chiu recently shared her thoughts on the much-talked-about kissing scene with co-star Paulo Avelino in their series ‘What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim,’ adding a humorous twist to her experience.

In an interview on Friday, May 17, Kim revealed that she felt nervous and shy about filming the intimate scene, which became a trending topic.

“Syempre nakakakaba gawin ‘yong eksena na ‘yon. Saka para nahiya rin ako as dalagang Pilipina. Medyo nahihiya ako,” Kim said.

Adding a lighthearted comment, Kim joked that if they kept repeating the scene, it might lead to a real-life romance.

“Pero inano ko na lang sa kung ano ‘yong…para hindi na kami ulit-ulit. Baka ‘pag inulit-ulit ‘yon kami na. Joke lang,” she said with a laugh.

“Parang one time big time na natin. Ibigay na natin ‘to para mas maganda naman na mag-edit ng bawas kaysa kulang,” she added.

The Philippine adaptation of the South Korean hit series ‘What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim?’ gained renewed attention after the iconic kissing scene between Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino inside a cabinet was aired.

The scene is a fan favorite from the original Korean series, and many netizens were curious about how many takes it took for Chiu and Avelino to perfect the romantic moment.

On Friday, Chiu and Avelino also unveiled the latest poster of their series, which will begin airing on free television starting May 25.
