Netflix is bringing a live-action version of the hit webtoon and anime Solo Leveling, and excitement is building around its casting news. Rising star Byeon Woo-seok, best known for Lovely Runner, has been confirmed to play the lead role of Sung Jin-woo. The series will be co-directed by Lee Hae-jun and Kim Byung-seo, the filmmakers behind the blockbuster Ashfall, with production led by Kakao Entertainment and SANAI Pictures.
Adding to the buzz, Han So-hee is reportedly joining the project as Cha Hae-in, the only female S-rank hunter in Korea. Known for her impressive performances in My Name and Gyeongseong Creature, she is seen as a perfect fit for the strong yet graceful Cha Hae-in. While Netflix has not officially confirmed her casting, multiple reports and industry insiders suggest it is highly likely.
The pairing of Byeon Woo-seok and Han So-hee has already been called a “dream casting” by fans. Their chemistry and action skills are expected to bring Sung Jin-woo and Cha Hae-in’s dynamic relationship to life in a way that honors the original story. Anticipation is high not only among K-drama fans but also in the global anime and webtoon community, who see this adaptation as a major crossover moment.
With a powerful production team, a story loved worldwide, and casting choices that have already set social media on fire, Netflix’s Solo Leveling live-action drama looks poised to become one of the most talked-about series in the coming years.
