On the morning of the 17th, a production briefing session was held at Lotte Cinema Konkuk University branch in Jayang-dong, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, on the production of the action fantasy film 'Omniscient Reader's View' (directed by Kim Byung-woo, produced by Realize Pictures). The production briefing session was attended by Ahn Hyo-seop as Kim Dok-ja, the only reader of the novel that has been serialized for more than a decade, Lee Min-ho as Yoo Joong-hyuk, the protagonist of the novel that has been serialized for more than a decade, Chae Soo-bin as fellow Yoo Sang-ah, who faced the moment when the novel became a reality with Kim Dok-ja, Shin Seung-ho as Kim Dok-ja's colleague Lee Hyun-sung, who has strong power, Nana as Kim Dok-ja's colleague Jung Hee-won, and director Kim Byung-woo.
Director Kim Byung-woo said, `When I first started, I had a lot of thoughts about how to make this original film into a movie. I met this work at the beginning of a series of web novels. Nevertheless, the most interesting point was that the realistic part and fantasy were well mixed. Fantasy comes naturally in the real world. The keyword 'The novel that only I knew became a reality' came to be the biggest attraction. As I participated in it, I thought the audience could watch the movie. It means that you can see it while thinking about what would I do if it were me. Therefore, there is an attraction that the audience can easily participate and see from the starting line. "However, the difficult point was that I had a lot of worries about how to distribute reality and fantasy and adjust it. It was the part that the staff thought was the most tricky. "The start is real, but I think I found a good answer as I thought about what etiquette to go to as I gradually went to fantasy."
'Omniscient Reader's View' is a work about the world in the novel becoming a reality on the day a novel that has been serialized for more than a decade is completed, and the struggle to survive in a world where the only reader is the protagonist of the novel and his colleagues. Ahn Hyo-seop, Lee Min-ho, Chae Soo-bin, Shin Seung-ho, Nana, and Ji-soo appeared, and director Kim Byung-woo of 'The Terror Live'PMC: The Bunker' took the megaphone. It will be released on July 23.
