“Who’s Gonna Do The Acting?” — Major K-Drama’s Casting Hit With Scathing Response

The casting decisions for an upcoming Netflix K-Drama have sparked a heated debate online.

The drama in question is Solo Leveling, an adaptation of a popular fantasy web novel.

The story takes place in a world full of deadly monsters intent on annihilating humanity, and human warriors with supernatural abilities, called “hunters,” who protect mankind from them. The novel tells the story of Sung Jin Woo, a notoriously weak hunter, who finds himself in an endless struggle for survival. One day, a near-death experience gives him extraordinary abilities, allowing him to level up his powers and become the unexpected hero the world needs to fight evil.

According to recent reports, some big names have been confirmed for the K-Drama, including Byeon Woo Seok as Sung Jin Woo…

Han So Hee as Cha Hae In…

Kang Yoo Seok as Yoo Jin Ho…

And Kang Mina in a role that is yet to be revealed.

This casting news has been met with some brutally scathing responses from netizens, who felt that the acting skills of most of the cast were not up to the huge expectations for the project. Some also complained that the actors selected didn’t even visually match the webtoon versions of their characters.

• “No, but he can’t use his body well, though…”
• “I keep thinking about Lim Si Wan.”
• “Huh? Even the faces don’t match.”

• “Who’s gonna do the acting?”
• “It all went wrong, starting with Seong Jin Woo.”
• “Wow, I’m not looking forward to this even a little bit.”
