How Gen Z and millennials cope with love and loss in latest series

Manila Bulletin

|

August 11, 2025

In “The Eclipse,” Episode 10 of Puregold Channel’s hit digital series Si Sol at si Luna, the show delivered one of its most vulnerable moments yet, as Sol (Zaijian Jaranilla) and Luna (Jane Oineza) confronted their feelings against the cosmic backdrop of a lunar eclipse.

Indeed, the rare celestial event was truly symbolic of the doubts and uncertainties that plague two people who come from different perspectives in life.

As viewers continue to immerse in Sol and Luna’s love story, they come to realize that the narrative offers sporadic glimpses of life lessons, mostly bittersweet, such as love and loss and the pain of separation and breakups. These resonate with the youth of different generations, Millennials and Generation Z, in particular, mainly because Si Sol at si Luna’s lead characters Sol and Luna project contrasting responses to relationship issues. In the process, the digital series depicts how these age groups deal with heartbreak and healing.
