Yes! Netflix confirmed today that there will be a live-action adaptation of the popular webtoon Solo Leveling, which also has an anime version. Byeon Woo Seok (Lovely Runner) will play the main character, Sung Jin Woo, in the drama.
But first, let me tell you a bit about Solo Leveling (in case you’re not familiar with how big it is). Solo Leveling, a Korean webtoon series, is the No. 1 web novel and webtoon with 14.3 billion views worldwide. It was written by Chugong, illustrated by Jang Sung Rak, and adapted by Gi Si Ryeong. Its anime adaptation made history as the first Korean animation to sweep nine major categories at the 2025 Crunchyroll Anime Awards, including Anime of the Year, Best Action, and Best Character.

According to the webtoon, the premise of “Solo Leveling” goes like this:
In a world where Hunters, human warriors who possess magical abilities, must battle deadly monsters to protect mankind from certain annihilation, a notoriously weak hunter named Sung Jinwoo finds himself in a seemingly endless struggle for survival. One day, after narrowly surviving an overwhelmingly powerful dungeon that nearly wipes out his entire party, a mysterious program called the System chooses him as its sole player and grants him the unique ability to level up in strength, possibly beyond any known limits. Follow Jinwoo’s journey as he fights against all kinds of enemies, both man and monster, to discover the secrets of the dungeons and achieve his ambition of becoming the strongest hunter ever.
