It featured one of the biggest and brightest stars in Philippine showbiz: Sarah Geronimo, Sam Milby and Coco Martin as the lead characters. The show was cancelled on October 22, 2010, garnering only 35 episodes in total before being replaced by the 2010 remake of the longest-running soap opera of the 90s Mara Clara, topbilled by Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes.
Sarah Geronimo makes her comeback project of the musical drama series after the success of Bituing Walang Ningning (2006) and Pangarap na Bituin (2007).
