Gabbi added that there were a lot of challenges that almost led her to believe that she will not be part of the film but in the end, it was really destined for her. It was a dream come true for both of them simply because both Gabbi and Khalil are from two different networks, Gabbi is from Kapuso Network who headlined television series like, “Pamilya Roces”, “Sherlock Jr.”, and “Encantadia.” She was also part in the 2017 film, “Meant to Beh.”

According to the people behind the film, Gabbi and Khalil are perfect for their roles and they once they started filming, everything went smoothly. They added that it was also a dream to make another film that is like a tribute to OPM music and Ben & Ben's music created a big impact to a lot of people, it's relatable and this is how they want people to relate to the film as well.
Both Gabbi and Khalil shared that they can somehow relate to their roles, they're both dreamers but they never waver in pursuing their dreams. “There were a lot of rejections, a lot of no’s and self-doubts. For the family side, I am also family-oriented,” Gabbi answered on how she can relate to her role.
