The series was originally set to air on MBC, but this plan reportedly fell through because the intended director, Kim Min-sik, was part of the union's executive leadership.

Before this drama, SBS had planned to air another series called 'Would You Love Me' in the same slot, but it was scrapped due to problems with the script development and filming schedule.

Originally planned as a 16-episode series, I Can Hear Your Voice was extended by two episodes to 18 episodes on July 17, 2013, due to its strong ratings.
