Casting
The triathlon soap opera directed by Dan Villegas was first announced on April 27, 2016 as Because You Love Me, and was supposed to be topbilled by Jake Cuenca, Gerald Anderson and Yen Santos. After the filming postponed for many reasons, Santos was later pulled out from the cast and the scenes already shot in Bulalacao, Oriental Mindoro will not be used anymore. Cuenca and Anderson remained part of the series. ABS-CBN tapped Kim Chiu to play the role previously given to Santos. During a press conference on October 24, 2016, Dreamscape revealed the project Ikaw Lang Ang Iibigin and its cast, and will serve as Chiu and Anderson's reunion project. "Kimerald is Back" trended on Twitter for several hours after the announcement.
Chiu, Anderson, Cuenca, and veteran actresses Helen Gamboa and Gina Pareño will be reunited together in this project eight years after their respective leading roles in the critically acclaimed telenovela, Tayong Dalawa. It is also Gamboa's comeback project on ABS-CBN five years after the phenomenal Walang Hanggan, Chiu's reunion with Cuenca three years after Ikaw Lamang, and Cuenca's reunion with Coleen Garcia who he once worked with in Pasión de Amor, a Philippine adaptation of the Colombian Pasión de Gavilanes by Telemundo.
Filming for Ikaw Lang Ang Iibigin began in October 26, 2016.
