Is Pulang Araw Worth the Watch? The Internet Says Yes

Populated by rich characters and suffused with emotion, the ensemble cast, production, and story of Pulang Araw beautifully convey the spirit of our history—and the internet seems to think so as well

When Japan annexed the Philippines in the 1940s, the occupation became one of the deepest wounds in the country’s history. This political reality, whose impact on the Filipino people still reverberates in the present, forms the backdrop of Netflix and GMA’s Pulang Araw. Just after a week of its runtime, it’s quickly becoming a staple in the Netflix cabal of dramas to binge. Here’s what the internet has to say about Pulang Araw.

On the Story

Despite certain fictional elements, Pulang Araw is heavy, illustrious, and thoroughly researched. But both the material and the fictional points seem to have resonated with the audience.

On the Production and Cinematography

Pulang Araw is Netflix’s number one series in the Philippines today. One of the reasons why? Its meticulous, intentional, and big screen-worthy set designs, production, and shots.

On the Strong Cast

While it was the star-studded quartet—Barbie Forteza, David Licauco, Sanya Lopez, and Alden Richards—that the nation was most anticipating, some unexpected performances enthralled the audience. Case in point: Rhian Ramos and child actress Cassy Lavarias.

The premise in itself is a huge pull—and being able to excellently execute on all fronts is a feat in Philippine cinema. Though the series is still on its first week, fans eagerly find themselves anticipating more episodes to watch Teresita’s, Eduardo’s, Adelina’s, and Hiroshi’s story unfold—and witness an intriguing epic of Philippine history in the process.
