    Pulang Araw: A teleserye revolves the Japanese occupation of the Philippines

    Not just a single episode ever watched, Pulang Araw proves a breeding ground, about a war. It shows the faith, the thrill, the agony and irony.

    Forteza and Licauco's chemistry can compare to Donny Pangilinan and Belle Mariano, and it shows the resemblance, from their predecessor, Maria Clara and Ibarra. The narratives prove how their on-screen chemistry grow.

    It took over twelve years to adopt this into a teleserye, it what goes like, in a teleserye that adopts a historical narrative.

    Regardless of who you are, either if you're a Kapamilya, Kapuso or Kapatid, it presents that how it went well and made this show, worth watching.

    CAPTIVATING SERIES!!

    The cinematography is striking, with rich visuals that capture the essence of the landscapes and the emotional weight of the story. The performances are heartfelt, particularly from the lead, who delivers a nuanced portrayal that resonates deeply with the audience. The supporting cast also adds depth, creating a rich tapestry of relationships that enhance the central themes. The series' spacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to immerse themselves fully in the characters' journeys. The use of music is particularly effective, underscoring key moments and enhancing the emotional impact. Overall, "Pulang Araw" is a poignant and thought-provoking film that lingers long after the credits roll. It's a must-watch for anyone who appreciates stories that delve into the complexities of human experience while celebrating the beauty of Filipino culture.

    Heartfelt Filipino Series

    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.

    Entertaining But Has Lots of Flaws

    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.

    The BEST Teleserye So Far!

    David Licauco (Hiroshi) is a revelation here! I would be expecting for him to win acting awards for this portrayal.

    Barbie Forteza (Adelina) has always been superb! Sanya Lopez (Teresita) portrayal of a comfort woman is flawless. No other artist could perform this.

    Alden Richards (Eduardo) is amazingly good as well. Dennis Trillo (Yuta) is the villain you will hate forever. The supporting actors, Rochelle Panginiban, and the others are also really great.

    Hands down because cinematography is great! Chemistry among actors is also evident. Although I am always on a crying stint every episode, it has always been purposeful. Watch it now!
