Production

Initially, Muling Buksan ang Puso was originally planned to be premiered back-to-back with Got to Believe on July 8, 2013, replacing Apoy Sa Dagat and Missing You. But due to the request of Koreanovela fans and the postponement of Got to Believe in favor of Korean drama That Winter, the Wind Blows, it was first premiered in the 8:30-9:15pm timeslot instead, taking over the timeslot previously occupied by Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala. On August 26, 2013, the series later moved to the original 9:15-10:00pm timeslot to give way for Got to Believe.[6][7]

Casting changes

Amalia Fuentes was initially part of the cast to play Elvira,[8] but due to misconception of her role, she later dropped it[9] and she was replaced by Pilar Pilapil. After dropping her role on the said TV series, she had a special participation role in the critically acclaimed TV series Huwag Ka Lang Mawawala top billed by Judy Ann Santos.[10]
