We’re still in the revving up phase of Pulang Araw. But we’re definitely getting closer to “the exciting part,” as Filipinos like to say with their teleseryes.
The second week of GMA Network’s Pulang Araw has wrapped. And it was an interesting week. Interesting in the sense that it really kind of highlighted the limitations of the Filipino teleserye format. But also interesting in how they are still planting the seeds and laying the groundwork for later when the heavier drama begins.
Talented young cast portraying the younger versions of our main characters highlight first week of GMA Network’s Pulang Araw.
GMA Network’s Pulang Araw premiered its first episode on Netflix yesterday and within the first couple of minutes, you will find yourself stunned by some breathtaking and heartbreaking visuals and emotional moments before sort of reverting back to familiar teleserye dynamics. That will be the biggest challenge for this ambitious series, as it is for any Filipino teleserye. How to have the writing and story maintain the momentum from its strong start and be able to match the obviously meticulous production.
