iQiyi to Launch Korean Drama Shooting Stars

The streaming platform iQiyi is set to commence production on the original Korean drama series Shooting Stars, produced in collaboration with Studio Dragon.

Set against the backdrop of the Korean entertainment industry, Shooting Stars tells the story of a top star (Kim Young-dae) falling in love with the head of publicity of his talent agency (Lee Sung-kyoung). Production is to begin next month, with the series slated to launch on iQiyi in 2022.

Shooting Stars will be available exclusively in 191 countries and regions all over the world on www.iQ.com or via the iQiyi International mobile app.

Young Ming, senior VP of iQiyi, said: “Differentiated romantic themes continue to be deeply loved by international audiences. The global success of iQiyi’s first self-produced Korean original, My Roommate is a Gumiho, is a testament to that. We believe Shooting Stars will receive the same level of attention from Korean fans worldwide.”
