I've seen this in rumour mill for a while, the casting wasn't particularly well received mhmmm. I'll note that there's a movie version that's done that's been thrown back into development hell due to apparently terribly produced. As for this version, the director (douban) can be decent, I've seen his The Red, which is a republican era slice of life slow burn romance disguised as a spy drama, but his more recent works have been pretty mixed. The scriptwriter (douban) also have similar issue, and the story will rely on pretty darn good special effects, so I'm hesitant. 

 

There's also an animated version slated for 2021, which should be earlier than the drama, the trailer look utterly fantastic. The production team have pretty long production time though, judging by their previous original series, which started airing mid 2019 and still haven't finished because they halted serialisation for half a year lol. Maybe the drama will come first mhm.

Oh they are making a drama from this trilogy? I am worried lol oh the animated series may actually work much better. This trilogy blew my mind when I read it and I consider them one of the best sci-fi books ever.

Wait so is this live action or animated? The poster fits and I need details!!
