Netflix is adapting Solo Leveling into a Korean series, and a star has been cast

This new anime, which is a hit around the world, has some big news. After winning the hearts of readers, it was a huge success when it was adapted for the screen. Now, Netflix is planning a live-action series adaptation, and a star has already been announced for the cast. 

Telling the story of Sung Jin-Woo living in an alternative modern Japan, Solo Leveling has a rather unique formula. The hero has virtually no special abilities, but over time, he quickly becomes the best and most powerful hunter. However, in a world where powers are not universally accepted, he must hide his abilities to avoid being spotted by the authorities. 

The live-action series announced by Netflix will be directed by Lee Hae-jun and Kim Byung-seo. And while this already promises a high-quality adaptation, there is more good news for fans. The actor who will play Sung Jin-Woo is none other than Byeon Woo-seok. If his name doesn't ring a bell, he rose to fame last year in the K-drama Lovely Runner. 

So Netflix may have found the right formula by adapting manga and anime into live-action films. But that doesn't mean that all adaptations are successful. Indeed, the film Death Note disappointed fans, who gave it a rating of 4.5 out of 10 on IMDB. On the other hand, there have also been successes, such as One Piece, which seems to appeal to millions of fans around the world.

As a result, opinions are mixed regarding the adaptation of Solo Leveling. Some fans think it will be a real success, while others fear a bitter failure and a series that strays too far from the manga. In any case, we will have to try to trust Netflix, which is capable of both the best and the worst, and wait for new information about this project, which is already generating a lot of buzz.
