While Puregold Channel’s digital series “Si Sol at Si Luna” keeps viewers riveted by its
soulful storytelling and cinematic touch, fans of romantic dramas are fascinated by how
it deals with the complex nature of love and relationships. Is right timing essential to
romantic happiness? Will a strong attraction between two disparate personalities suffice
when complications arise?
In its fourth episode, “Signs,” “Si Sol at Si Luna” finally brings Sol (Zaijian Jaranilla) and
Luna (Jane Oineza) together in a moment that feels both familiar and momentous. After
days of quick glances and missed connections aboard their daily commute, the two
finally speak and something shifts. Luna tells Sol she will agree to be part of his film
only if fate intervenes again. No numbers. No social media. If they meet again, and only
then.
Episode 4 ends with a cinematic moment: they meet again. And with that, viewers are
left breathless with anticipation, their hearts set for what could be not just a creative
partnership, but a slow-burning, unexpected love story.
Still, viewers wonder, can love bloom when you're a decade apart?
The Highs:
New POVs: You learn from each other. Different life stages = totally fresh perspectives.
Exciting contrast: One brings stability, the other spontaneity. And that push-pull? Chef’s
kiss.
Emotional depth: Being challenged by someone older or younger often compels us to
reflect, grow, and feel more deeply.
The Hurdles:
Different priorities: One is chasing career goals while the other wants to settle down.
Clashing ideals: Ideas on commitment, timelines, or what “forever” means can get
tricky—or downright messy.
Pop culture gap: Yes, even your meme references might fall flat.
For Gen Zs like Sol, love can be fluid, hopeful, and idealistic; for older millennials like
Luna, love sometimes comes with heartbreak, hard lessons, and vulnerability.
Joao Constancia, who plays Ben in the series, agrees that there are advantages and
disadvantages to dating outside of your generation. “For the pros, an older partner may
offer maturity, flexibility, and stability. They know the importance of having more quality,
rather than quantity, time together. However, misunderstandings may also ensue as you
come from different perspectives in life.”
Meanwhile, Joao says “a younger partner would have more energy and willingness to
learn and experience new things. But immaturity and financial instability may complicate
matters.”
Cheena Crab, who plays the snarky and fun character Bridgette, chimes in: “Age isn’t
the main factor; it’s the mindset, values, and connection that matter. Dating someone
older might offer maturity and stability, while someone younger might bring fresh energy
and spontaneity. In the end, what really counts is mutual respect, clear communication,
and being aligned with what you both want.”
Marnie Lopez, the loving Manang Boneng, is grateful to be part of “Si Sol at si Luna”
because she feels that this narrative on love imparts lessons that should be shared.
"Hindi ako na-awkward sa topic. Noong nabasa ko ang script at kinukuwento ni Direk
Dolly, I already felt very close na to the character of Luna kasi napagdaanan ko lahat
'yon. And I also feel for Zaijian kasi all my relationships talaga have been with younger
men. Alam ko ‘yung pakiramdam nila. I want to tell this story to the world, at i-share
‘yung learnings natin from this kind of relationship—that whatever happens, you may
choose who you love, and you may choose if you stay or leave.”
In the next episode, ‘A Good Story’, watch for the promise and pitfalls of pursuing a
relationship outside of your generation.
