HowSolo LevelingAnime Could Deepen Sung Jinwoo and Cha Hae-in’s Relationship
Crunchyroll unleashed another trailer forSolo LevelingSeason 2, teasing never-before-seen footage of the first two episodes.Solo Levelingis widely recognized as a standout title in the manhwa scene, even beyond the Korean webtoon industry.
Despite the manhwa’s immense popularity, the story’s heavy focus on the main protagonist dims the potential of other characters who could have been key additions. The journey of Sung Jinwoo, from a mere hunter to the strongest in the world is accompanied by a bundle of relationships that influence his decisions for growth.

I’m so impatient to see how the anime develops Jinwoo and Hae-in’s relationship starting from season 2!I’m gonna be the happiest man if they have more interactions than the original and if we get to see their thoughts and feelings more extensively in the anime 🥹pic.twitter.com/E3qIOztCJi
Though Sung Jinwoo steals most of the spotlight in the show, there are a plethora of side characters and some pretty fun female cast members are scattered throughout the series.

One of the more compelling characters often overshadowed by Jin-woo’s dominance is his fellow Hunter and future wife, Cha Hae-In. Cha Hae-in was introduced as the strongest female S-Rank hunter in Korea, who instantly emerged as a crown favorite for many manhwa readers.
Initially, Cha’s relationship with Jinwoo was somewhat one-sided. Over time, their bond deepens, eventually leading to marriage and delivering the happy ending fans had hoped for from the beginning.

Sadly, the relationship between Jinwoo and Cha Hae-in doesn’t play a major part in the overall manhwa story. Their romance is often shown as a secondary plot, which only serves to enhance their character growth and add a more emotional touch to the series.

Fans naturally worry whether the anime will stay true to the manhwa’s story, riskingCha Hae-in’s romanceby ignoring its original flaws. The anime promises fans it won’t follow the same path, adding more depth to the side character’s story, and Season 2 stands as a testament to that.
The romance that develops between Jinwoo and Cha Hae-In is gradual, building upon mutual respect and shared experiences. The manhwa gives it limited focus, leaving fans hopeful the anime takes a fresh approach, potentially boosting its popularity significantly.

Those two episodes are incredibly well produced, showing improvement even from the start of the series. However, it has also raised concerns among the manhwa fans about the rushed narrative, which they fearcould jeopardizeSung Jinwoo’s character over time.
As per theReAwakeningfilm, the first two episodes of Season 2 will cover the entire Red Gate arc of the manhwa, a move that is bound to surprise both manhwa readers and anime watchers alike.
While the anime pledged to grant more focus to supporting characters, the production studioseems to be fast-tracking the Jeju Island Arc.
This has left the manhwa fans concerned about the production studio compromising Sung Jinwoo’s character development, rushing his progression to become the strongest hunter.
