Hunters are graded by their innate abilities and thus are stuck in their ranks for life. Or so they thought. The story centers on Sung Jinwoo, who is described as a “weak" E-rank hunter at the beginning of the story, but who climbs his way up the ranks after gaining extraordinary powers following a near-death experience.

Netflix just officially announced a live-action adaptation of Solo Leveling, and with the perfect actor to play Jinwoo.

Netflix is producing a live-action series adaptation of 'Solo Leveling,' with rising star Byeon Woo-seok attached to lead the project.
