Luna Mystika is a Filipino fantasy/romance drama created by RJ Nuevas, directed by Michael Tuviera and Gil Tejada, Jr., produced and aired by GMA Network. The series starred Heart Evangelista in the title role, with Mark Anthony Fernandez as the leading man.
The series premiered on November 17, 2008 replacing Codename: Asero and concluded on March 6, 2009 (with 80 episodes overall). It was aired internationally with a two-day delay on GMA Pinoy TV.
Three years after the series ended, GMA Network makes its sequel entitled Luna Blanca. It is a three-generational drama which featured three generations of actresses for the title roles. On its first book, child stars Jillian Ward and Mona Louise Rey play the roles of Luna and Blanca respectively. On the second part, teen stars Bea Binene and Barbie Forteza will play the roles respectively. On the third book, which will covers the womanhood stage, actresses Bianca King and Heart Evangelista will play the roles of Luna and Blanca respectively.
In Barrio Mausok where the town folks still believe in the presence of engkantos, there lives the affluent Sagrado Family, Don Joaquin (Dante Rivero) and Dona Benita (Chanda Romero) and their two beautiful daughters Alice (Sheryl Cruz) and Diana (Rita Avila). But Diana apparently attracts more suitors than Alice causing the latter to harbor enmity for the favored one.
Surprisingly, regardless of her countless suitors, Diana gives her heart to Simon (Ariel Rivera), a beastly-looking young man with a distorted face feared to have descended from the Engkantos. Soon the news spreads about their relationship and Diana's parents try to end their romance. However, it's too late since Diana is already with child.
