Tension ran high in episode 6 of Si Sol at si Luna, titled Meet the Family, which left viewers on the edge of their seats. The hit digital series from Puregold Channel followed Sol (Zaijian Jaranilla) spending time with Ara and her family as a favor, while Luna (Jane Oineza) reminisced about her joyful memories with Andy—how he always managed to lift her spirits even during the darkest times.

Netizens were unsure if Sol would make it to his long-overdue meeting with Luna. But in a surprising twist that tugged at viewers’ emotions, Sol finally arrives, and Luna is there waiting for him as the episode closes.

Moments like these are exactly why fans—especially from the Gen Z crowd—are hooked. The series, streamed on Puregold’s official YouTube Channel, delivers emotional beats and plot turns that resonate deeply with today’s youth. They see their own stories mirrored in the highs and lows of Sol and Luna’s complicated romance.

Zaijian Jaranilla, Jane Oineza go daring for love in bold new series ‘Si Sol at si Luna’

Here are five reasons why Gen Z viewers are hooked on Si Sol at si Luna:

1. Flawed but genuine characters. Sol is not perfect—he makes silly mistakes, like choosing Luna over an important responsibility and hurting someone in the process. But Sol owns up to his errors, and fans are quick to forget.

This authenticity touches young viewers who are grappling with messy friendships and relationships themselves. 

2. Grief is treated with honesty and nuance. Luna’s grief in the series is not simply a backstory; it is raw and real, like how we experience it in real life. She tries to function, to laugh, and to feel alive again, but her grief comes and goes, often unexpected and overwhelming. 

Luna’s story depicts how people process loss—in quiet moments, one day at a time. 

3. It’s a love story, but not the usual kind. Aside from its intriguing and provocative theme—an age-gap relationship—Si Sol at si Luna is not for the wide-eyed romancevjunkie. It’s slow-burn, with crippling doubts, wrought by past wounds, new responsibilities, and personal battles that won’t magically go away. 

Si Sol at si Luna is a love story with a reality check, resonating with how we truly experience love. 

4. It understands how Gen Zs think and feel. From quiet anxiety to emotional burnout, the show captures the internal struggles that young people feel—the pressure to move on, connect, and feel something again. 

Si Sol at si Luna is a cathartic passage for people who see their own journey in the show’s leads. 

5. The show appeals to different generations. While Si Sol at si Luna has racked up a huge fan base among Gen Zs, Puregold’s Senior Marketing Manager Ivy Hayagan-Piedad believes that the show cuts across demographics with the life lessons it offers. “We’d like to think that viewers of different ages see themselves depicted in the narratives of Si Sol at si Luna. Whether people are dealing with their first heartbreak, reliving a past love, or learning to let go, we are sharing this story so they will know they are not alone.” 

In Episode 7 of Si Sol at si Luna ‘The Interview’, we finally see more of Sol and Luna together as Sol begins his heart-to-heart interview with Luna for his film project. 

But will this newfound intimacy spark thoughts of romance?
