“From Linlang tapos dinirecho namin sa What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim? masaya naman akong kasama si Paulo, katrabaho,” said Kim. “Sobra siyang dedicated sa trabaho so nahahawa na rin ako.”
The actress remarked that she feels elated to star in an adaptation of a hit K-Drama.

When asked what job title he would give Secretary Kim if he would promote her, Paulo responded: “Hindi ko alam kung promotion ang tawag dun, pero housewife.”
He then asked Kim: “Nag-TESDA ka na ba?”
Kim quipped: “Nag-TESDA na ako.. Marunong na ako magluto, mamalantsa, maglaba. Alagaan kita.”

In a previous interview, Kim expressed her admiration for Paulo’s comedic performance in the series.
“Sobrang funny siya dito. Hindi na siya si Paulo Avelino. What’s right with Paulo? Everything is going well din sa kanya. He’s very professional. He’s very funny now. What’s right about Paulo is he’s being himself and that’s what makes him right,” she relayed.
