‘My Love Will Make You Disappear’ is, without a doubt, the best romantic comedy I have ever seen.
It’s a breath of fresh air—offering an escape from the noise of everyday life. For two glorious hours, it made me forget about stress, anxiety, and the chaos of the outside world.
Kim Chiu has evolved into a powerhouse actress, delivering a performance so emotionally rich that every feeling resonates through her eyes. She embodies her character with such sincerity and depth, balancing vulnerability and strength effortlessly.
Paulo Avelino, long revered for his dramatic range, surprises with his natural comedic charm. Comedy may not be his usual territory, but he owns every moment with a quiet confidence that enhances his versatility as an actor.
Together, Kim and Paulo are magic. Their chemistry is electric—playful, tender, and grounded in truth. It’s a pairing that doesn’t just deliver on the expected kilig but elevates the genre entirely.
As someone who has watched both Kim and Paulo in various past projects, I couldn’t help but observe that there’s something noticeably raw and unfiltered in their performance here. Many of their scenes—especially the more intimate and emotionally charged moments, including their kissing scenes—felt so natural that I sometimes caught myself wondering: are they still in character, or are we catching glimpses of the real Kim and Paulo?
That level of authenticity is rare, and it speaks volumes about their connection and dedication to the story.
Director Chad Vidanes, in his directorial debut, shines with a confident, thoughtful touch. The film is visually captivating and emotionally textured, with pacing that keeps you invested even through its more whimsical detours. He’s clearly a filmmaker to watch.
Beyond the romantic beats, what truly makes this film stand out is its emotional resonance. It tackles themes of trauma, loneliness, and the glorification of resilience with surprising depth. The story reminds us that surviving isn’t the same as healing—and that real love doesn’t let us disappear into our fears, it gives us the courage to stay.
Yes, it leans into fan service. Yes, there are moments when the pacing could’ve slowed to let us breathe. But these are minor imperfections in an otherwise heartfelt and beautifully crafted film.
From the dreamy cinematography to the pitch-perfect musical scoring (Maki’s ballad version of Dilaw is a standout!), every element works in harmony to create a story that’s funny, moving, and ultimately unforgettable.
LionhearTV‘s verdict. This is more than just a rom-com—it’s a celebration of love’s healing power and the quiet bravery it takes to choose connection in a disconnected world. To the cast, crew, and everyone behind ‘My Love Will Make You Disappear’—thank you for giving us something so exceptional.
This film didn’t just entertain me. It moved me. And it reminded me why we still believe in love.
