After his hit Korean dramas, South Korean star Byeon Woo-Seok is set to portray Sung Jin-Woo, the protagonist of the popular web novel.
His character starts as an E-rank hunter but eventually acquires extraordinary powers, transforming into humanity's final line of defense against the deadly creatures coming from the mysterious Gates.
