With a not too large number of episodes, the shooting process is unlikely to take too long. However, the post-production process is expected to be the most time-consuming part.

This is because SOLO LEVELING is known for its many visual effects, especially for fight scenes and monsters. Therefore, the quality of CGI will greatly determine the final result of this live-action.

If everything goes smoothly, the series is predicted to be released in early to mid-2027. However, as of now, no official date has been announced by the production team.

In addition, Han So-hee has also been confirmed to join and will portray Cha Hae-in. She is known from several previous popular projects, so her presence immediately draws attention and raises expectations for the acting quality in this series.
