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

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.
