“It was pitched to me upon finishing the script, I don’t know, it just made me smile afterwards. Para siyang “good vibes” yung movie, but then again, parang may puso (It has heart),” Paulo said.
“When I first read the script, para siyang kinakausap niya ako (it felt like it was speaking to me) as a 30s womanโas a girl na maraming sentiments on her 30s,” Kim revealed. “So parang it tackles about love, being afraid to fall in love, just like me.”
She added: “This role is really close to my heart, gusto ko rin maging voice ng mga babaeng natatakot magmahal ulit (I also want to be the voice of women who are afraid to love again).”
The popular love team also talked about how they prepared for their roles.

In the film, Pinoy Big Brother winner plays Sari, a woman who believes she is cursed because every man she has ever loved has disappeared from her life. Meanwhile, the 36-year-old actor portrays Jolo, Sari’s troubled landlord.
“Ako kasi, kapag nag-aaral ako ng isang character, parang nire-relate ko siyaโkahit kontiโsa personal life ko para hindi siya ganon ka-iba… Para kahit papaano, relatable siya (For me, when I study a character, I try to relate themโeven just a littleโto my personal life so they donโt feel too different. That way, they become more relatable),” she shared.
Meanwhile, the I’m Drunk, I Love You star admitted that it was the other way around for him when it came to preparing for his character: “It was a process. I had to discuss a lot of things with the creatives [and] with the directors.”
With the film’s release fast approaching, the 34-year-old actress shared her excitement and gratitude for the project.
