Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Krystala arrived during ABS-CBN's 'fantaserye' boom, directly competing with GMA's Mulawin and carving space for female-led superhero narratives in Philippine primetime.
Judy Ann Santos reportedly filmed while juggling her iconic film Sabel, making Krystala her 'I can do TWO unhinged protagonists' era. The crystal costume weighed enough to require multiple stunt doubles for action sequences.
