Production

Filming for The Promise of Forever began in May 2016, with majority of the scenes were shot in Eastern and Western European countries; it was also the first Philippine drama to be filmed in Czech Republic.[1][5] The series was fully pre-produced, filmed more than a year before airing, with a total of less than 13 weeks of airing were confirmed.

Timeslot

In the first media announcement of upcoming telenovela Victims of Love (now known as Asintado) on March 15, 2017, Paulo Avelino mentioned that The Promise of Forever will premiere in summer season.[6] It was originally supposed to replace the Korean drama Love in the Moonlight on a late evening timeslot, but was postponed by the management due to requests and appeals by the Koreanovela fans.

After the long delay, The Promise of Forever finally premiered on September 11, 2017 but became part of the Kapamilya Gold afternoon block, replacing The Better Half. The drama switched places with The Good Son which is now moved to Primetime Bida block.
