“No one goes through life or love completely alone.” 

This uplifting affirmation inspires many viewers who invest their time and emotions in Puregold Channel’s hit digital series ‘Si Sol at si Luna’.

Now in its third episode, ‘Si Sol at si Luna’ continues to captivate passionate fans of romantic drama with its rich and well-crafted narrative. The show immerses viewers in the lives of its lead stars, Zaijian Jaranilla (Sol) and Jane Oineza (Luna).

Si Sol at si Luna focuses on the developing relationship between a young, naive filmmaker and a stoic, emotionally wounded woman. At the same time, it captures the vibrant essence of their surroundings through the warmth, noise, and struggles of the people around them, brought to life by a lively supporting cast in true Filipino fashion.

Sol’s journey as a film student is characterized by his loyal friends, Claudine (Uzziel Delamide) and Rey (Lyle Viray), who are always ready to assist him with his thesis and provide lighthearted banter about his struggles. Additionally, the presence of his classmate and admirer, Ara (Karina Bautista), adds another dimension to Sol’s character.

Karina Bautista says she is very much the character she plays in the show. “Ara is unafraid to express how she feels. She’s very confident and she wears her heart on her sleeve. Nakaka-relate ako sa kaniya sa deep motivation to succeed para sa mga taong mahal namin, pero masasabi ko rin na mas matapang si Ara sa akin. (I can relate to her deep motivation to succeed for the people we love, but I can also say that Ara is braver than me.)

Karina views Ara's role as a refreshing contrast to Luna in the way it influences the relationship between Sol and Luna. She describes Ara as young, emotionally open, and unafraid to love. Ara's affection will push Sol to differentiate between a crush, admiration, a genuine connection, and true love.

Luna is not alone in her grief. At home, Manang Boneng (Marnie Lapus) provides her with quiet care. At work, her kind and patient team leader, Ben (Joao Constancia), offers gentle support. Even her officemates, Jana (Jem Manicad) and Bridgette (Cheena Crab), despite being sharp-tongued and often tactless, play a role in Luna’s personal growth.

As a real-life mother, Marnie Lapus intuitively portrays her character, Manang Boneng, with great skill. As Luna’s mother figure in the story, Manang Boneng is seen as immensely relatable—somebody na maalaga sa pamilya. She is Luna’s safe space, someone she desperately needs at a time of grief and emotional crisis, and a source of clarity amid confusion.

Then there is Cheena Crab, who plays office bully Bridgette, a character far removed from her team player personality.

“In real life, wala naman talagang easy and perfect life; laging may struggle,” she says, pointing out that the character of Bridgette is a really fun addition to the story. “Yes, pinapahirapan niya si Luna, but then again, Luna will learn to fight back. Matututo siyang bumangon at ‘wag magpaapi.” (In real life, there is no easy and perfect life; there is always struggle), she says, pointing out that the character of Bridgette is an enjoyable addition to the story. “Yes, she makes Luna suffer, but then again, Luna will learn to fight back. She will learn to stand up and not be oppressed.)

Joao Constancia, who plays Ben, upholds how the series succeeds at showing the importance of togetherness and support from people around us.

“Si Sol at si Luna is meaningful because it is about love, empathy, and understanding one another. It’s about being kind to people around you—and this is always relevant no matter what age you are, or where you are in life.

”Episode 3, titled “Chasing the Girl,” will bring fans even closer to the two leads, with more scenes that build anticipation for where their connection is heading.

Directed by seasoned filmmaker Dolly Dulu, ‘Si Sol at si Luna’ is a digital series from the Puregold Channel, following Sol, a film student, who becomes intrigued by Luna, a woman profoundly affected by the loss of the man she loved. Since their first encounter on a bus trip, Sol has been trying to find her again, hoping to feature her in his thesis documentary about love.

Will Luna agree to be part of Sol’s film . . . and will she eventually become a bigger part of his life?Don’t miss the next episode of 'Si Sol at si Luna', showing this Saturday at 7 p.m. on the Puregold Channel on YouTube.
