Directed by Dominic Zapata, it stars Jillian Ward, Mona Louise Rey, Bea Binene, Barbie Forteza, Bianca King and Heart Evangelista all in the title roles.

However, the story eventually develops into realistic drama that tells the sufferings of Rowena's family on raising the twins alone,[13] alongside Luna's quest in conquering her mother's love, care, and acceptance despite the discrimination she faces.

Camille Prats, who is part of the series' main cast was quoted: "The message of Luna Blanca is not all about social discrimination on the basis of skin color.

The characters Joaquin who was played by Kristofer Martin and Aki by Mark Herras in the second and third books serves as love interests (as well as the "intricator")[clarification needed] of Luna and Blanca.

[19] At the series' press conference held on May 15, 2012,[20] the producer presented six actresses to portray and breathe life to the characters of Luna and Blanca.

Chosen to play the lead roles in the first chapter are child stars Jillian Ward as Luna, and Mona Louise Rey as Blanca.

"[22] In the first and second chapter, Camille Prats, Raymart Santiago and Chynna Ortaleza[23] were cast as Rowena, Luis and Divine, respectively, the three prominent characters in the series.

Mark Herras taken over the role of Joaquin, the love interest of Blanca (Evangelista) and Luna (King),[27] while, veteran actors Lani Mercado, Christopher de Leon and Carmi Martin taking over the aged characters of Rowena, Luis and Divine, respectively.

It was not written in poetic style but the extended narrative, its press release called multi-generational story, and the development of an old folk tale qualifies it to be epic-based."
