Shin Seung-ho met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 14th and said, ""Omniscient Reader's View" is a work that I am grateful for."
Released on the 22nd, Only God Knows Everything is a mystery-tracking thriller in which priestly ordained Dowoon hears a confession about the death of his missing mother and digs up a secret hidden in the dilemma between revenge and faith. Director Baek Seung-hwan of Double Patty took the megaphone. Shin Seung-ho played Jeong Do-woon, a priest who is in conflict between revenge and faith.
Prior to the release of 'Only God Knows Everything', Shin Seung-ho performed extraordinarily well with a movie based on a web novel 'Omniscient Reader's View' (hereinafter 'Preview'). He said "'Omniscient Reader's View' is a grateful work. It is now, and I think it will be in the future. I think it's a very courageous and challenging work."
In particular, 'Complete Poetry' has a break-even point of about 6 million, which has emerged as the most anticipated film this summer, but unfortunately, it has not captured the hearts of the original fans. Shin Seung-ho said, `Honestly, the score is not satisfactory.' `But it seems more important how hot he performed on the spot. In that respect, 'Complete Poetry' is a movie that made me feel alive, and it was a work that gave me a lot of strength.'
In the meantime, the fact that a work based on a large IP was made into a live-action seems to mean a lot about the virtue of only 'Commentary Poetry'"I think it was never an easy task to actually come out in a movie. There are some people who haven't seen the original work like me, and others who don't even know that there is an original work. My parents don't read webtoons or web novels. I thought it would be a choice to help those people understand."
