Production
Development began as early as 2017, as a television drama series of the same name by GMA Network, when it was announced during New Year's Eve as part of the network's yearly tradition of announcing new projects on the beginning of a year. However, beyond the announced title and theme, virtually almost all information regarding the series remains unknown, leading to assumption that the project was most likely abandoned and scrapped.

Sometime after 2021, development restarted when it was conceptualized as a spinoff to the Justice for Love duology, following the cancellation of the second Justice for Love Presents series due to unknown reasons. However, by May 2022, GMA Pictures' three-year license to the Justice for Love trademark expired, and GMA Network allowed their rights to revert back to Toho, abandoning plans for further installments or spinoffs to the Justice for Love duology.
