As Puregold’s hit digital series heads toward its most daring episode yet, the story of Sol (Zaijian Jaranilla) and Luna (Jane Oineza) rises to a new level of emotional and narrative complexity.
In the previous installment of Si Sol at si Luna, titled “Missing Person: Luna,” Luna appeared to distance herself after an electrifying kiss with Sol in the office elevator. Much to the delight of viewers, the ultimate kilig moment seemed to foretell the start of something deeper, but before they could hold their breath, Luna began to pull away.
Visibly shaken after a confrontation with Ara (Karina Bautista), who asserted that Luna should leave the much younger Sol alone, Luna was even more confused by a revelation from her team leader, Ben (Joao Constancia): he harbors feelings for her.
Episode 9 ended with yet another unexpected twist: Ara admitting to having fallen for Sol.
The characters are caught in a web of desire, doubt and hesitation, and unspoken grief that leave audiences wondering if Sol and Luna—clearly drawn to one another—can ultimately withstand the pressures coming from all sides.
Things get even more real in the upcoming episode, as Si Sol at si Luna shows Zaijian Jaranilla’s first-ever onscreen love scene.
Known to multitudes of fans for his roles as a stellar child actor, Jaranilla’s performance in the next Si Sol at si Luna marks a significant turning point in his career as he explores more mature and emotionally layered material.
Hinted at in trailers, the love scene is expected to be both tender and bold, featuring two characters who are confronting societal expectations about age, grief, and compatibility.
Adding another layer of controversy to the show’s narrative, the intimate scene will bring Sol and Luna’s age gap, a point of strain and unease in the series, to the fore. At its core, the moment is not about shock, but about asking difficult questions: Can love grow between two people in vastly different emotional places? Will this moment of intimacy begin healing, or will it only add to or deepen wounds?
As the series continues to push the boundaries of what local digital storytelling can achieve, the coming episode may prove to be its most talked-about yet.
Catch Si Sol at si Luna’s tenth episode, ‘The Eclipse’, on Saturday, August 2 at 7 PM, only on Puregold Channel.
