Production

The series was first unveiled in May 2013 as an adaptation of Dominador Ad Castillo novel Cofradia. — The story, which had film adaptations in 1953 and 1973, that centers on Cofradia, a young woman who is afraid to fall in love because of her dark complexion. With the help of a magic candle, she eventually transforms into a beautiful lady.

However, due to criticisms over the material's alleged racism, Dreamscape announced in July 2013 that it had re-worked into a new series to feature an original story that is "equally exciting and equally beautiful."[5]
