Both this and the original series are influenced by Sister Act (1992). Karin Hils (Sister Fabiana) was part of a stage version and was cast in this series on the weight of her performance.
Lucero's role in this series is symbolic: as a child, she starred Chispita (1982), another Mexican children-oriented TV drama with similar elements with this story. "Chispita" became a TV hit in Brazil in the 1980s.
