Rede Globo requested João Emanuel Carneiro to create the series as essentially similar as possible to Au coeur du péché (2004) after Bang Bang (2005)'s poor ratings.
Walter Salles complained that João Emanuel Carneiro copied the concept of Salles' script which later became Une famille brésilienne (2008). Both productions feature a motorcycle courier in love with a cellist.
Lázaro Ramos and Taís Araújo's daughter was born in the same day of the rerun's series finale, on January 23, 2015.
The Saara, a Rio de Janeiro trading district, was reproduced in the Rede Globo studios (known as PROJAC).
