TV’s famous Santino is ready for mature roles. It’s a key takeaway from the enticing trailer for the upcoming Puregold Channel digital series ‘Si Sol at si Luna.’ The trailer features former ‘May Bukas Pa’ and ‘Goin’ Bulilit’ child star Zaijian Jaranilla stripping down before locking lips with co-star Jane Oineza.
Already, the trailer has beguiled fans who are eagerly anticipating the first-ever love scene from Zaijian. Even more intriguing is the pairing of Zaijian with an older leading lady in Jane Oineza. Throughout the trailer, his boyish charm and her sensual beauty attract more than detract, lending allure to their age gap.
The series’ director, Dolly Dulu, spoke on working with Zaijian to project this air of intimacy for the show. “Nakakatuwa na pinagkatiwalaan niya ako to do this big transition from his image as Santino to his coming-of-age portrayal of Sol,” said Dulu. “Yung ganung klase na eksena is a major step na kailangan gawin at bigyan ng justice.”
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 converge, they must navigate the complexities of attraction, love, and loss that are only amplified by their age gap.
With the lead characters’ intense onscreen intimacy, ‘Si Sol at si Luna’ promises to be Puregold Channel’s most boundary-pushing digital series yet.
Stressing on the significance of the company’s latest project, Puregold’s senior marketing manager Ivy Hayagan-Piedad disclosed that they wanted an unconventional but authentic story for Puregold Channel’s latest retailtainment offering. “It’s a story that means a lot to everyone involved,” Piedad said. “It’s a deeply felt one for our director Dolly Dulu, and a real test of the emotional maturity of our lead actors Zaijian and Jane.”
This latest dramatic offering directed and conceptualized by Dolly Dulu follows in the wake of Puregold Channel’s hit digital series such as ‘My Plantito,’ ’52 Weeks,’ and ‘Ang Lalaki sa Likod ng Profile.’ In the last few years, Puregold has been leading the charge in uplifting local culture and artists, making major waves in series creation, OPM, and even the film industry.
‘Si Sol at si Luna’ is set to premiere on May 31, Saturday, at 7:00 PM on the Puregold Channel on YouTube. Subsequent episodes will drop every Saturday at the same time.
