Production

The series was first unveiled in May 2013 as an adaptation of Dominador Ad Castillo novel Cofradia. — The story, which had film adaptations in 1953 and 1973, that centers on Cofradia, a young woman who is afraid to fall in love because of her dark complexion. With the help of a magic candle, she eventually transforms into a beautiful lady.

However, due to criticisms over the material's alleged racism, Dreamscape announced in July 2013 that it had re-worked into a new series to feature an original story that is "equally exciting and equally beautiful."[5]

Cast changes

Diego Loyzaga and Kiko Estrada were originally part of the main cast,[6] but was later replaced by Enrique Gil and Sam Concepcion respectively.[7] Estrada returned to Annaliza, while Loyzaga later remained as part of the series in a supporting antagonist role instead. Liza Soberano was also reported to be part of the series, but later became part of Got to Believe instead.[8] Soberano was later replaced by Mika dela Cruz.

This is a second time of Julia and Sam to appear on the show, since Walang Kapalit in 2007.
