Fábio Assunção was originally cast to portray Eugênio but later backed out before production started to star in an upcoming television series.Dan Stulbach was then cast. Leopoldo Pacheco was originally cast as Junqueira but he and Chay Suede preferred Novo Mundo. Suede was the first option to portray Ruy. Daniel Rocha also auditioned for the role of Ruy but Fiuk was preferred over him.Vera Fischer was also part of the cast but due to personal differences with the showrunner, she was replaced by Betty Faria.
The role of Juliana Paes Bibi, is inspired by real life Fabiana Escobar, infamously known as "queen of pot". The showrunner Glória Perez initially wanted to center the plot sorely on her character in a separate miniseries altogether but decided to include it in the plot.
Since her role is inspired by a siren, Isis Valverde was prepared for three months in readiness for her role by Mirella Ferraz a professional in that part.
Promising lawyer, Caio (Rodrigo Lombardi) is considered for administering Garcia, one of the largest companies in the country, however, when Bibi (Juliana Paes) decides to end their relationship, he leaves everything behind and relocates to United States. 15 years later, returns to Brazil with more experience in the judiciary and meets once again with Bibi, who failed to complete College and is married to Rubinho (Emilio Dantas). Rubinho goes through a delicate financial condition, as he and Bibi struggle to make ends meet which will force him to enter the world of crime.
