Promotion
To promote the series, the casts held a back-to-back caravan at Vista Mall in Bataan along with the cast of Nag-aapoy na Damdamin.[7] The official full trailer of the series was released on July 10, 2023.[3]
The show is co-produced respectively by ABS-CBN and TV5, but TV5 discontinued their blocktime simulcast agreement with It's Showtime on June 30, 2023 and was eventually moved to GTV a day later, meaning that the cast of the new shows were not allowed to appear on the said show to promote them. As a result, they promoted both of these new afternoon teleseryes on E.A.T., TV5's new noontime show.[8]
Production
This series was produced by Dreamscape Entertainment, the creators of Doble Kara, Kadenang Ginto, Sandugo and Love Thy Woman and also this series is directed by Raymond B. Ocampo and Roderick P. Lindayag, the directors of Wildflower.
Broadcast
Alongside Nag-aapoy na Damdamin, the series premiered on a Tuesday (July 25, 2023) instead of a Monday (July 24, 2023) due to the second State of the Nation Address of President Bongbong Marcos, which necessitated the networks to pre-empt their afternoon programming to air special coverage of the said event.
This is the first ABS-CBN series to air 6 days a week, which also airs on Saturdays at 2:30 PM, after It's Showtime on ABS-CBN channels and platforms and E.A.T. on TV5, while since 2017, GMA Network already aired certain afternoon dramas 6 days a week.
This is also the first drama series to air on the first timeslot of Kapamilya Gold since Bagong Umaga, which concluded on April 30, 2021, after airing its final episode and the first ABS-CBN original series that aired on an afternoon timeslot to air on TV5.
Prior to the show's premiere, the iQIYI series Hello Heart had a 2-week special premiere along with Saying Goodbye occupying their intended timeslots on Kapamilya Channel and A2Z, with the finale episode of the latter airing on Monday on the aforementioned channels, while Studio5 Presents occupied their intended timeslots on TV5.
The series had a marathon of its pilot week on July 29, 2023, it occupied the timeslots of KB Family Weekend (Kapamilya Channel), Zinema sa Umaga Saturday edition (A2Z), and Cine Cinco Hollywood Edition (TV5) on that day.
Timeslot change
On September 30, 2023, the show changed its Saturday timeslot from 2:30 to 3:00 pm. On October 23, 2023, the show changed both timeslots from 3:00 pm to 2:30 pm on TV5's online airings. The following changes were made to other platforms (except for its Saturday timeslot) on October 30, 2023.
