With season 2 of the anime series now in full swing, South Korean production company Kakao Entertainment has just announced plans for a live-action adaptation. Solo Leveling originated as a South Korean web novel, exploring a portal fantasy adventure story about a monster hunter.

Based on a manhwa by author Chugong, Solo Leveling revolves around the story of Jinwoo, a hapless hunter struggling through dungeons full of monsters. One day, however, he stumbles upon 'The System', a program that allows him to level up and tackle increasingly fearsome threats.
