Directed by Don M. Cuaresma and Jojo A. Saguin, it stars Kim Chiu, Maja Salvador, Xian Lim, Enchong Dee, Cherry Pie Picache, Janice de Belen, Ariel Rivera, Ronaldo Valdez, Eddie Gutierrez and Pilar Pilapil.

The drama follows the lives of Celyn (Kim Chiu), Margaux (Maja Salvador), Liam (Xian Lim), and Ethan (Enchong Dee) and their struggles for power, family and love.

The drama was the last female-headlined local series to rank as the highest-rated program on Philippine television in the pre-COVID pandemic era, when it held the top spot from June 14, 2013 until after the 2016-2020 duration of Ang Probinsyano, which originally ran from 2015 to 2022, took over the same position in the national ratings.

Celyn Buenaventura (Kim Chiu) is an ambitious and kind working-class girl living in Cebu with her widowed mother, Theresa Apolinario (Cherry Pie Picache).

Theresa decided to move to Manila with her father, Zacharias (Ronaldo Valdez), and was found by Julio, who confronted her and asked where she took his real child.

The original plan was that Beatrice and Julio raise the child after its birth, but Theresa refused, saying that she carried the children and was thus their mother.

It was revealed that Celyn and Margaux were the babies delivered of Theresa and Beatrice, and Zacharias admits to having engineered the exchange, adding he did so to keep the peace between the two half sisters.

Mio Buenaventura (John Regala), Theresa's late husband, is revealed to have faked his death and now seeks revenge.

Mio shot Julio, sending him into a coma, and while waiting on him in hospital, Celyn and Margaux reconciled and prayed for their father's recovery.

Beatriz then planned to flee to Singapore for their safety, and she finally reconciled with Theresa one night, amidst hugs and tears.

Angered, Mio tried to wrest the gun from Diego, and after a struggle pulled the trigger, shooting his son before a distraught Theresa.

They all hugged each other while Ethan and Liam ran to meet them, but Mio stirred and shot Theresa in the back before being killed by the police.

[8] The idea of the concept came from the success of previous ABS-CBN dramas, namely Iisa Pa Lamang and Magkaribal which both focused on characters of the high society.

According to several reports made earlier by the management, the drama was supposed to be Andi Eigenmann's comeback project as an actress after her pregnancy, she was to star opposite Jessy Mendiola.

Meanwhile, Enchong Dee remained part of the series as Ethan, as originally planned, although the roles previously given to Martin del Rosario and Joseph Marco were offered elsewhere.

[17] It is also Chiu's reunion with Dee[18][19] and veteran actor Ronaldo Valdez who she once worked with in the Philippine adaptation of the South Korean drama, My Girl.

Some viewers of the episode where Celyn and Margaux figure in a vehicular accident were surprised that the airbags of the Chevrolet Cruze used in the scene did not deploy despite the damage to the car depicted.

The automobile manufacturer issued a statement, reminding the public that they were watching a fictional series that did not depict a real event, and calling for such programmes to present factuality on technical matters.

A regular cast member of Ina, Kapatid, Anak had to apologise over the issue on behalf of the staff, the writers and ABS-CBN.
