Based on a web novel of the same name by writer Sing Shong, Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint follows the story of Kim Dok Ja (Ahn Hyo Seop), whose reality transforms into that of the web novel he once read, with Yoo Joong Hyuk (Lee Min Ho) as the central character. The film, directed by Kim Byung Woo of The Terror Live and Take Point, is being produced by REALIES Pictures, known for the Along with the Gods series, and Smilegate, a global entertainment group, marking its first Korean film investment through this project, reports Soompi.
In the film, Lee Min Ho takes on the role of Yoo Joong Hyuk, a character granted the chance to relive his life endlessly after death, endowed with striking looks and formidable combat skills, surviving in a post-apocalyptic world.
Ahn Hyo Seop makes his big-screen debut as Kim Dok Ja, the sole individual aware of the web novel’s conclusion, an ordinary office worker deeply engrossed in Yoo Joong Hyuk’s narrative.
Chae Soo Bin portrays Yoo Sang Ah, Kim Dok Ja’s colleague, offering vital support in a world where survival is a daily struggle. Shin Seung Ho and Nana assume roles from the web novel, with Shin Seung Ho becoming Lee Hyun Sung, a former military soldier with robust defensive abilities, and Nana portraying Jung Hee Won, a justice-seeking goddess endowed with extraordinary strength.
Park Ho San embodies Gong Pil Doo, wielding control over people’s livelihoods with his wealth, while Choi Young Joon takes on the role of Han Myung Oh, Kim Dok Ja’s company superior entangled in unexpected mission scenarios alongside Yoo Sang Ah. Additionally, Jisoo portrays Lee Ji Hye, overcoming numerous crises with Yoo Joong Hyuk through her formidable strength.
With Kim Byung Woo at the helm, Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint promises to captivate audiences with its blend of fantasy, suspense, and human connections.
