Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino Reunite for the Remake of “What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim”

Kapamilya stars Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino are set to headline the adaptation of hit South Korean show What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim. ABS-CBN Entertainment and Viu partner for the Philippine remake of CJ ENM’s rom-com drama, catering to Filipino viewers and fans of the original. The offering, to be produced by Dreamscape Entertainment, is the third adaptation of a television format from South Korea following The Broken Marriage Vow and Flower of Evil. 

“We extend our heartfelt thanks to Viu for once again placing their trust in ABS-CBN as we embark on yet another exciting partnership. We are thrilled to bring the Philippine adaptation of a popular K-drama series to our viewers as we also showcase Filipino talent across the world,” said ABS-CBN COO for Broadcast Cory Vidanes in one of her statements.

After starring in the betrayal series Linlang, Kim and Paulo assemble again for another sought-after story, this time portraying the characters of Secretary Kim and Mr. Vice Chairman. Park Min Young and Park Seo Joon played the roles of the two in the Korean tale, respectively.

What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim navigates the life of a narcissistic executive of a highly-esteemed corporation, whose competent secretary suddenly resigns from her job. Rattled and baffled by the announcement, he does everything in his might to make her stay by his side. Eventually, he develops affection for his trustworthy and long-time assistant and finds himself falling for her. The show will air on screen in 2024, exciting Hallyu enthusiasts and avid Filipino fans alike.
