The complexities of love and life arise in the trailer for the Puregold Channel’s latest digital series, “Si Sol at si Luna.” The series features former child stars Zaijian Jaranilla and Jane Oineza in their most challenging roles yet as they depict the ups and downs of an age-gap romance.
In “Si Sol at si Luna,” Sol is a film student working on his thesis whose life changes when he meets the heartbroken Luna. As their paths meet, they navigate their conflicting feelings about attraction, love and loss that are amplified by their age difference.
The trailer gives a glimpse of the vibrant visuals coming straight from the eye of director Dolly Dulu.
Direk Dolly initially pitched the story as an entry to the 2025 Puregold CinePanalo Film Festival. Despite making it to the shortlist of 16 best entries, the project did not end up in the final lineup for the festival. Still, the story showed so much promise and depth that Puregold has greenlit the project, which takes on an expanded form as a weekly digital series.
Direk Dolly spoke on the opportunity to bring her story to life. “I’m deeply grateful for the chance to bring ‘Si Sol at si Luna’ to screens,” said Dulu. “Ang saya saya ko lang, especially since viewers have free access to YouTube, giving the material a wider and more expansive reach. Siyempre happy ako na ito ang first series ng Puregold na medyo mag-didig deeper ‘yung tema at ‘yung feels ng narrative.”
Best known for her feature film “The Boy Foretold by the Stars” as well as her TV directorial work, “Si Sol at si Luna” is Direk Dolly’s vision come to life. Between glimpses of the first intimate scene for lead actor Zaijian and the plot involving an age gap relationship, “Si Sol at si Luna” promises to be the most boundary-pushing series yet.
Puregold’s senior marketing manager Ivy Hayagan-Piedad affirms her trust in Dolly Dulu’s vision, saying, “Great stories have a way of finding their audience — no matter the path. Direk Dolly’s pitch moved us from the start, and we’re proud to finally give it the spotlight it deserves and share it with viewers through Puregold’s retailtainment platform.”
“Si Sol at si Luna” follows in the wake of several Puregold Channel digital series such as “My Plantito,” “52 Weeks” and “Ang Lalaki sa Likod ng Profile.”
The series is set to premiere on the Puregold Channel on YouTube on May 31, 7 p.m. Subsequent episodes will drop weekly every Saturday at the same time.
Over the years, Puregold has led the charge in supporting local culture and artists, making major waves in series creation, OPM and even the film industry.
