both drama and film are about the history of the Philippines.
both are set during a war and how the Filipinos fight for the country.

Both are historical drama and tackles the lives of Filipinos during the occupation of foreign people in the Philippines. "Maria Clara at Ibarra" is set during the Spanish colonization while "Pulang Araw" is set during the Japanese colonization and World War 2.

It is a really good ph historical drama! The leads (Barbie and David) of MSKM 2023 were both part of this drama. Barbie and David's chemistry really stood out in "Maria Clara at Ibarra". If you want to see them in a romcom, angsty, and slowburn trope, you will surely like "Maria Clara at Ibarra".

This is the original film. The 2023 mini series is an adaptation of the 1991 film. In the mini series, they incorporated a "Gen Z" vibes.
