A Rom-Com Recipe for Fun

Meet Sari, played by the one-and-only Kim Chiu. She’s got a wild theory: every guy she loves disappears—poof, gone! Then there’s Jolo, portrayed by Paulo Avelino, a landlord at Tahanan Homes who’s had it with heartbreak. When he hears about Sari’s “curse,” he thinks it’s his golden ticket—get her to fall for him, then vanish from his troubles. Spoiler alert: love doesn’t play by the rules, and what unfolds is a mix of laughs, swoons, and unexpected twists. Directed by Chad Vidanes, this film serves up romance with a side of comedy and a dash of mystery. It’s no wonder it’s already breaking records and winning over moviegoers! 

Fans Can’t Stop Talking

The hype kicked off on premiere night, March 25, when My Love Will Make You Disappear climbed the trending charts on X. “KimPau chemistry is unreal!” one fan tweeted. “Laughed so hard, then cried—10/10!” another posted. From the witty lines to the feel-good ending, netizens are calling it a rom-com that hits all the right spots. If your group chat’s been quiet, this movie might just give you something to rave about! 

Kim and Paulo’s on-screen magic—honed from past hits like Linlang and What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim?—is the secret sauce here. Their fans, aka “KimPau Nation,” are out in full force, and it’s easy to see why. 

Surprise Cinema Visits

Opening day was next-level, thanks to Kim and Paulo pulling a fast one on fans. The duo crashed block screenings across the metro, thanking moviegoers in person and snapping selfies with lucky viewers.

Star Cinema says 224 block screenings are set worldwide, so keep your eyes peeled—you might just get a star sighting with your ticket. 

A Crew Full of Gems

Kim and Paulo shine bright, but the supporting cast is a total win. Melai Cantiveros delivers her trademark giggles, while Wilma Doesnt and Lovely Abella keep the energy up.

It’s a squad that feels like a big, fun family reunion! 

What’s the Deal with the Story?

Here’s the scoop: Sari’s love life is a disappearing act—every crush she’s had vanishes, so she’s sworn off romance. Jolo, meanwhile, is drowning in heartbreak and desperate for an out. When their worlds collide, he bets on her curse to erase his pain—make her love him, then disappear. But as they tease and tumble into something real, the plan unravels. Will love stick around, or vanish like the rest? Hit the theater to see how it plays out!
