On the afternoon of the 15th, a press and distribution preview was held at Megabox COEX in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, for the action fantasy movie 'Omniscient Reader's View' (directed by Kim Byung-woo, produced by Realize Pictures). The premiere 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 main character 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 fighting for justice, and director Kim Byung-woo.
"When I first encountered the script, I didn't know it was this big IP," said Ahn Hyo-seop. The scenario itself was so attractive. Expectations for live-action were high. If you get a lot of expectations, you can feel pressure. In that case, negative effects are inevitable. All I could do was do my best to stay true to the scenario. Every day on the scene, we filmed without shame. I tried my best to work on this work. My hope is that it will be a work that everyone can enjoy, not only for the original fans but also for those who are not fans of the original."
'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 the 23rd.
