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.
Lee Min-ho said "I'm very nervous because it's the first movie in 10 years. It seems that I unintentionally do a lot of works with original works. It seems to be one of the natural phenomena. The most important point when making the much-loved IP into a movie seems to be putting on the emotional lines and emotions I feel while not damaging the direction the IP aims for and the emotions of the characters. I didn't approach fantasy. I worked alone and lonely enough because I started with Yoo Joong-hyuk's situation."
'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.
