Welp, after a few solid weeks, we’re back to more wobbly footing with Pulang Araw. Dare I say it was quite a boring week, to be honest.
Definitely the strongest week of Pulang Araw yet. Obviously not perfect still. But this week’s episodes definitely delivered what I think many (myself included) came into the series for.
Pulang Araw thankfully continues the very slow upward momentum that started earnestly last week. Of course, still not without its shortcomings which I know I’ll be repeating every week. But nonetheless, we get to see more of what many viewers expected initially coming into the series.
A very interesting week for Pulang Araw on many fronts.
Alright. Here we go! Things are getting a bit more interesting on Pulang Araw. And of course it’s because the war has arrived in the Philippines. I think this week’s episodes did a good job of depicting the mix of chaos and uncertainty in the hours and days after the initial attacks by the Japanese forces.
More soapy family and romance drama takes away from the urgency of the arriving war.
The drama is at an all-time high as the war arrives.
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.
