The movie 「Omniscient Reader's View」 has released a still of Lee Min-ho's overwhelmingly charismatic character playing Yoo Joong-hyuk, the main character of the novel that has been serialized for more than a decade.

Actor Lee Min-ho, who is driving global buzz in each of the dramas 'Ask the Stars', 'Pachinko1, 2', 'The King: The Monarch of Eternity', 'Legend of the Blue Sea', 'The Heirs', visits the audience with his irreplaceable character Yoo Joong-hyuk in 'Omniscient Reader's View'.

Yoo Joong-hyuk, the protagonist of the novel Three Ways to Survive in a Destroyed World, has overwhelming skills and toughness enough to clear all scenarios through a regression skill that starts from scratch even if he dies. From the beginning of his appearance, he grabs the play with his eye-catching presence and visuals, repeating numerous regressions, maximizing the audience's immersion with complex emotional lines and explosive actions. Everything he went through while breaking many scenarios made Yoo Joong-hyuk full of cynicism, but he meets Kim Dok-ja (Ahn Hyo-seop), who creates a situation different from the development he knew on the Dongho Bridge, and watches him. Yoo Joong-hyuk, who does not trust people easily even though the reader reaches out to join him, makes the reader take another test. The only reader who has admired him in the novel for more than a decade, the audience's expectations are heating up as to what kind of relationship Kim Dok-ja and Yoo Joong-hyuk will develop and what the ending will be for them to make together.

Lee Min-ho agonized a lot about the solitude of humans who survived alone in immortal life. As he is a character who constantly fights, he put a lot of effort into preparing for the action," he said, expressing his affection for the unrivaled character. "I had to show this world view through Yoo Joong-hyuk, and I thought that the process of coming into this world view and going through the crisis could be convincing only when he was real.", he said, revealing that he approached delicately to complete the character that is the center of the story. He also said "There were a lot of concerns about how to exist without excessive action movements, eyes, and facial expressions, and how to not be fake.".

Meanwhile, 'Omniscient Reader's View' is a fantasy action film in which the world of the novel becomes a reality on the day the novel, which has been serialized for more than a decade, is completed, and Kim, who was the only reader, will survive in a world that has fallen with Yoo Joong-hyuk, the protagonist of the novel, and his colleagues, will be released in theaters in July.
