The series debuted on ABS-CBN’s pre-noontime slot on July 9, 2012. It later on, cemented its legacy as one of the most groundbreaking daytime dramas to ever grace local television, having spearheaded the local light romcom craze and lasted fore more than two years of being on air. It starred prime drama actress Jodi Sta. Maria as Maya de la Rosa, and Richard Yap as Richard Lim aka ‘Sir Chief’.
The series is widely-credited to have spearheaded both Sta. Maria and Yap to massive popularity and becoming household name. Their success in the series eventually paved the way for subsequent projects for the two.

Twitter user @jodisupremacy said she doubted first whether or not Yap’s tweet was just a prank post.
She said, “due to seeing prank tweets multiple times, akala ko isa na naman ‘tong pakulo ! we love u ser chief and maya di makatulog sa gabi sa kaiisip sa diwa ko’y ikaw ang aking panaginip (I thought I was being pranked. We love you ser Chief and Maya…can’t sleep at night thinking of you, in my mind you are my only dream)” in a tweet, where she sang a line from one of the series’ soundtrack, Kaba.
