Emerging from a terrible event that changed the course of his life, Emman finds a stable job and lives a simple life in the province of Alcala with his loved ones. Blessings continue to come Emman's way when he reunites with his son, Robbie, for the child's birthday celebration and finally buries the hatchet with his ex-girlfriend, Celine. However, Celine's fiancé Anton cannot help but burn with jealousy despite his partner's continued reassurance.

Production
The project was first unveiled on February 11, 2020 as Burado. Julia Montes, Nadine Lustre and Thai actor Denkhun Ngamnet were initially cast for the leading roles. Initial scenes were already shot in Thailand.[3] On March 2020, production was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. In spite of the shutdown of ABS-CBN due to the expired franchise,[4] production has reportedly been pushed through. On June 9, 2020, Julia Montes and Nadine Lustre backed out of the project. Arci Muñoz took over one of their roles, with Angelica Panganiban filling the gap a month later.[5] On August 10, 2020, Dreamscape stated that Burado was cancelled due to pandemic restrictions, taking the toll on its production and Denkhun Ngamnet is unable to travel to the Philippines.[6] Instead, the project was renamed to Walang Hanggang Paalam.[5][7]
During the drama's media conference on September 25, 2020 via Zoom and YouTube, Angelica Panganiban announced that Walang Hanggang Paalam will be her "final project" and declares her retirement from television dramas.[8]
