Following the official announcement, the lead duo quickly became a trending topic across social media platforms.
Many viewers are excited about the fresh concept, which combines romance, mystery, and rescue operations in some of China’s most challenging natural environments.
Based on the novel of the same name by Tao Tao Yi Lun, “The Landing Stars” is jointly produced by iQIYI and Stellar, the production company behind several successful hit dramas.
The project is directed by Chen Zhoufei, with Fu Liye serving as screenwriter and Wang Xiaohui as chief producer.
