Kakao Entertainment has officially confirmed that Solo Leveling, the immensely popular Korean webtoon, is being adapted into a live-action series.
The announcement revealed that planning and scriptwriting are already underway, sparking excitement among fans worldwide.
Back in 2021, reports surfaced about a US-produced drama based on Solo Leveling. However, it is unclear whether this new project is connected to those earlier plans. As of now, no details about the cast or production timeline have been disclosed.
This news comes on the heels of Solo Leveling’s incredible success across various mediums. The recent release of Solo Leveling Season 2: Arise From the Shadow has been met with enthusiasm from fans.
Can it beat or match the level of One Piece Live-action by Netflix?
Given Korea’s history of producing cinematic masterpieces, there’s reason to believe that Solo Leveling could deliver a similarly impressive experience.
While matching or surpassing the level of One Piece will be no easy feat, the unique storyline and Korea’s expertise in crafting high-quality productions give fans high hopes for an exceptional adaptation.
Additionally, the Solo Leveling mobile game has gained significant traction globally, solidifying the franchise’s impact beyond its original webtoon format.
For those unfamiliar, the story follows Sung Jinwoo, the world’s “weakest hunter,” who stumbles upon a mysterious ability that allows him to level up in a world where no one else can. This unique premise has captivated millions of readers and viewers, making it one of the most beloved modern fantasy stories.
