Pulang araw

This is one of the best Filipino shows I've ever watched. - Seeing how the story unfolds makes me want to see what happens next, and the plot is also well written. I am SO proud of everyone who has contributed to this series.

Another positive aspect of the show is how true to reality the beginning of the Japanese war and colonization of the Philippines is. I really commend the team for their researches.

The visuals, the story, the characters are amazing, just like the people who have tried their best to make this show a reality.

The beginning already got me hooked, as I saw how all the characters matured one by one.

The chemistry, different relationships and various interactions between the characters are all skillfully done. The scenes either make me want to laugh or cry.

I am pleased and satisfied to have come across this series, and I am very content.

One of the greatest Filipino series in our generation showcasing the battle for life and freedom of our ancestors during colonization of Imperial Japan. This show open our younger minds of how critical history is in our daily lives. It shaped who we are today. Our culture, our tradition and our character. Hands up to the creators, producers, all staff and actors who make this series move our hearts and feel from deep within how to be a Filipino which is very relevant to these days. Mabuhay Pilipinas kahit ang hirap mong mahalin. This kind of series sometimes reminds me of why I am a Filipino and why we should love the Philippines.

Pulang Araw had potential, but one actor's (you know which one, I'm not gonna name him) ridiculously awful fake Japanese accent destroyed the whole thing for me. It's so bad, I half-expected him to apologize mid-scene for butchering the language. Every time he speaks, I'm pulled out of the drama and into a bad comedy sketch. I don't know if the character is supposed to be menacing or if he's just really confused about where he's from. The plot could be gripping, the cinematography stunning, but nothing can overcome the trainwreck of an accent that steals the spotlight-in the worst way possible.

Great actors (except for the actress who plays Adelina. She is way too much and I hate her facial expressions and outburts of emotions, and gestures. OVERACTING!!!!) and I would've given it a perfect score had the CGI been good and the Japanese language more convincing. Philippine production still has a long, long, long way to go but this is truly an entertaining and educational show. I hope they didnt change the song intro though. This is just one of the only two shows where I never skip the intro. But since episode 39, when the song intro changed, I started skipping it. I dont like the new song intro. If it is a part of the same song, then I dont like that part at all. Anyway, overall, this show is just one of the very few Filipino shows that entertains me. I rarely watch pinoy shows coz they are all just the same but this one is okay. I just hope someone would tell that actress to tone it down. She is freaking me out. Her character isnt a crazy woman but she's acting CRAZY with too much energy that she has become too annoying to watch.

It's too early to say it definitively, but I am already in awe of this masterpiece. The production team's dedication and the creator's vision have truly brought something special to life. I can't express enough how proud I am of everyone involved in making this series a reality. The storytelling, the visuals, the attention to detail - everything is top-notch. I sincerely hope that we get to see much more of this incredible work in the future. Kudos to the entire team for their outstanding efforts!

I am incredibly excited to see the next episodes and discover what more they can offer to elevate the quality of this show even further.
