Social media was abuzz on Wednesday (May 8) as viewers finally witnessed the swoon-worthy first kiss of Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino in ABS-CBN and Viu’s “What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim†and scored multiple trending topics online.
Fans were left lovestruck over KimPau’s overflowing chemistry as #WhatsWrongWithSecretaryKimPH, KIMPAU WWWSKEP26, #KimPauOnViu, and #KimChiu immediately trended on X as the episode dropped at midnight on May 8.
After multiple attempts in previous episodes, Sec. Kim (Kim) and BMC (Paulo) finally gave in to their lingering emotions and sealed a tender kiss while they were alone at a work function.
The sweet moment also included a confession of feelings as the two ultimately decided to make their relationship official. But the ‘kilig’ didn’t stop there as BMC gave Sec. Kim a good night kiss and reassured her that he will always be by her side no matter what.
Netizen @tyrielle commended the dreamy scene and said, “I couldn’t breathe the whole time. It was tasteful, classy, gentle and full of emotions.â€
“I was so anxious to see if they would finally lock lips. KimPau’s chemistry is so strong that it makes me crazy over them. Even though I’m already a senior citizen, watching them makes me feel like a teenager all over again! I can\’t wait for the next episode,†said @nprangelo.“There\’s something about this pairing that even scenes like this are just too cute for me at their age. #KimPau remains wholesome, it wasn\’t sloppy the way I perceived it but the love still reflected on the screen,†commented user @kimpau8890.
Fans were also treated to more heart-fluttering moments of Sec. Kim and BMC after Viu posted behind-the-scenes photos and videos featuring the lead stars.
