Yet, Carlos Miguel and Cecilia's love for each other proves strong enough to motivate the former to back out to the designed commitment and pursue his newfound bliss.

Origin
Main article: Sana ay Ikaw na Nga (2001 TV series)

Sana ay Ikaw na Nga (lit. Hope It's Really You) was a television series originally created by RJ Nuevas on GMA Network. The series ran for two years. It premiered on December 3, 2001 and concluded on April 25, 2003.[14]

The original version starred Dingdong Dantes[15] and Tanya Garcia[16] as Carlos Miguel Altamonte and Cecilia Fulgencio/Olga Villavicer respectively. It was under the direction of Gil Tejada, Jr.[17]

Production and development

On August 3, 2012, the network announced that they had decided to remake Sana ay Ikaw na Nga. The same date, the production team introduced the actors that would portray the two main characters, Mikael Daez and Andrea Torres.

While there are many similarities to the original version, many changes were made. Headwriter, RJ Nuevas, whose concept gave birth to the original series, further stated that compare to the original series, the new version's storyline is more matured and daring. "We had to make the story more contemporary. This is a great challenge for all of us. After a decade, one of the most-loved teledramas in Philippine television will be given a different touch that is appropriate for today's times. We’re speeding it up a little bit [because the series is good only for one season] and putting some more interesting twists and turns", he added.[18]

Casting

Andrea Torres and Mikael Daez were chosen to play Cecilia and Carlos Miguel, respectively. The two are very happy and beyond grateful that their mother studio is trusting them with their own drama series.[19][20]

Torres underwent several acting workshops as her preparation for her role.[21]

Prior to this project, Torres once got so depressed at work that she even thought of quitting show business. She stated: "There was a point when I asked myself if I really had a future here. I gave myself until age 24 or 25. If nothing happened, I'd start looking in another direction". Until her big break had finally come. "I waited for this for so long! It's a good thing I didn't lose hope or just decided to quit. I'm glad I still believed this would happen to me. And now I’m feeling the pressure. I'm working twice as hard to prove that I deserve it", she added.[22][23]

Music

The series uses the song "Ikaw na Sana", a Vehnee Saturno original piece.[24] Mark Bautista and Rachelle Ann Go performed the song.

Ratings

According to AGB Nielsen Philippines' Mega Manila household television ratings, the pilot episode of Sana ay Ikaw na Nga earned a 16.4% rating.[25] While the final episode scored a 22.2% rating.[26]
