Remake
My Dear Heart was remade by Myanmar's partly state-owned broadcaster MRTV-4 as Chit Hla Swar Thaw (ချစ်လှစွာသော), which began airing on September 19, 2023. Despite the Philippine government's role in ABS-CBN's loss of its broadcasting franchise, Philippine Embassy in Yangon Chargé d’Affaires Enrique Voltaire Pingol attended the press launch of the adaptation and portrayed it as “part of people-to-people diplomacy and soft-power approach.”
