Writer, director and GMA Entertainment TV head, Jun Lana began conceptualizing the series early 2012 and intended to be the initial offering of the network's for their coveted Afternoon Prime block for 2013. The series is, somewhat, based on the 1980 classic film Somewhere in Time and in 2006 GMA Films' Moments of Love, because of its fictitious "Love knows no boundaries" and "time warf" plot.[15] The network’s entertainment TV department approved the concept and found the story "something new" for an afternoon show to feature a period piece.[16]
