Development

The series was conceptualized and developed by R.J. Nuevas in early March 2013. The show's working title was "Bahay na Bato" (transl.house of stone) before being changed to Home Sweet Home. [13] 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 cast came first before the concept of the series. The first actor to be cast was Raymart Santiago who played Reden Caharian. [14] In an interview, Santiago—who has previously starred in the network's family-friendly series Bantatay and Futbolilits — revealed that he contributed creative input to make series even better. He also asked his children to help him decide on the kind of role he would take in the [new] show. [15] Roxanne Guinoo was chosen to play Dulce Caharian. She said she easily accepted the role because, first, it's a mother role and "I want to explore the idea of having grown up kids. And it's very light. My kids will also get to see the show." [16]

Reception

Ratings

According to AGB Nielsen Philippines' Mega Manila household television ratings, the pilot episode of Home Sweet Home earned a 10.5% rating. [17] While the final episode scored a 15.3% rating. [18]

Critical response

Aside from ratings, the series, as well as its actors were well received by critics. Mario E. Bautista of Malaya praised Raymart Santiago's acting performance, stated that "Raymart has become a very good actor as shown in his dual roles in Home Sweet Home. He plays two different characters as the real Reden (imprisoned in the haunted house battling dragons) and the fake Reden (who can be mean to people around him but pretends to be harmless in front of wife Roxanne Guinoo). We think he deserves to be nominated as best actor in the coming TV awards for his performance in this show." [19]
