The drama is produced under the unit of Laurenti Dyogi and directed by Katski Flores whose first work on television was headwriting Cruz and Alonzo's first drama together titled, Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay back in 2002. It is scheduled to run for 22 weeks. Filming began in May 16, 2012 in Vienna and Salzburg, Austria.
