Lead cast

Works in a furniture shop owned by the Ramirezes, the simple, uneducated but kind-hearted, Andrea falls in love with her boss's son, Justin Ramirez. Despite their diverse social backgrounds and the obvious opposition of the latter's parents, the young lovers are determined to fight for their love and happiness. On her way to her wedding with Justin, an accident strikes which renders her into a coma. Andrea is found pregnant. The more that Justin shows his care, love and attention for her. Another twist of fate comes to a worse when fire breaks out in the hospital. Miraculously, Andrea wakes up and finds herself in a mansion not knowing who the owner is, and even forgetting her name and her past. [2]

Supporting cast

Born from a prominent family, Justin is the sheltered heir of the Ramirezes. He falls deeply in love with their lowly worker, Andrea Manalo, much to his mother's dismay. Out of extreme love, he braves all the obstacles just to be with the woman he loves. Tragedy strikes and fate takes a sudden twist and destroy their dreams of having a simple and happy family life together. [3]

Development

Series' creator, Liberty Trinidad stated that the series presents an interesting take to a seemingly perfect love story, as it explores the moral dilemma of the protagonist and how she must decide between the two men who love her. "The show is very current and viewers will be able to relate to Andrea's [the main character of the story] predicament because even though their situation may be different, everyone has to make tough decisions especially when it comes to love," she added. [8]

Casting

Lovi Poe played the titular character, Andrea Manalo. Poe described her role "the most quiet role I have ever played" and far different from the strong-willed and independent characters she did in television series, Legacy and movies, Temptation Island and My Neighbor's Wife . [9] "It looks easy but it is a lot harder for me. I am used to playing independent and strong women. This time around, it is more about falling in love and becoming martyr. It is something new to me," she said. By far "It's challenging because there will be adjustments in my attack. Coming from strong female characters, it’s not that easy to create nuances for your new role. But this is where the excitement lies. It will definitely test your range as an actress," she added. [10] Rocco Nacino cast as Justin Ramirez, one of the two leading men of the protagonist. Nacino stated that it's his "first mature role". Nacino and Poe first worked together in 2010 mini-series Mistaken Identity . Luis Alandy and Karel Marquez, on the other hand, played Celso Ramirez, the other love interest and Sabrina Torres, the series' main antagonist, respectively. [11]

Production

The series' plug, teasers, as well as the opening title sequence were filmed in a studio at GMA Network Center, in Quezon City. Production started filming the series on October 12, 2012. Many of the series' scenes were shot on location in Angeles, Pampanga. [12]
