“Ito ‘yung scenario na typical, ordinary Filipino family,” Marquez said of what to expect from the series. “Minsan aakalain nila, walang solusyon sa mga pang-araw-araw na problema. Dito, ipapakita namin na may soluyson sa lahat.”

“May mga eksena kami na tumatawa kami, pero paiiyakin namin kayo. Mayroon din kaming umiiyak kami, pero patatawanin kayo. Dadalhin natin sila sa iba’t-ibang klaseng emosyon,” Sanchez said.
