Home Sweet Home is a Filipino family drama and fantasy-adventure television series created by RJ Nuevas and produced by GMA Network. It premiered on April 22, 2013 on the network’s pre-primetime slot and on April 23, 2013 worldwide via GMA Pinoy TV. The series concluded its 13-week run on July 19, 2013 with a total of 64 episodes, and replaced by Binoy Henyo on its timeslot. The show headlines Raymart Santiago, Roxanne Guinoo, Jake Vargas, Bea Binene and Jillian Ward as the main cast. Gil Tejada, Jr. directed the show while Joy Lumboy-Pili serves as the executive producer for the entire run of the series.
The forty-five-minute scripted drama revolves around the Caharian family and their magical adventures and misadventures as they explore and unravel the mysteries behind an old and abandoned house. In the story, whoever enters the old house will be trapped inside and a fake version (a doppelganger with opposite personality of the real one) will come out.
Home Sweet Home features a number of notable guest characters every "adventure". Below, in order of appearance, are the recurring characters who have appeared in at least five episodes.
The series was conceptualized and developed by RJ Nuevas in early March 2013. The show's working title was "Bahay na Bato" (literally means House of Stone) before being changed to Home Sweet Home. The show's key target demographic were children (6-12 year old age) and preteens to adolescents (13-19 year old age), and aimed to entertain in a positive manner, at the same time inculcating traditional Filipino values and practices, such as importance of honesty, respect for parental authority, importance of a strong family and sportsmanship.
The series is executive produced by Joy Lumboy-Pili and directed by Gil Tejada, Jr. Although predominantly a family drama, the program does have some fantasy-adventure, comedic and thriller overtones. The story revolves mainly around the Caharian family, and their adventures and misadventures inside an old enchanted house—the most significant aspect of the series, both the main setting and the focus of the story's themes. Every door in that house leads to a new world (reminiscent of The Chronicles of Narnia). There, they will meet some lovable mythical creatures, as well as ferocious fiends, that will either help them or keep them from getting back into the real world. The show also highlights several characters [such as relatives, friends, neighbors of the core family] and their personal and background stories.
