The highly-anticipated film adaptation of the web novel sensation, 'Omniscient Reader', has confirmed its star-studded cast, featuring Lee Min Ho, Ahn Hyo Seop, Nana, BLACKPINK's Jisoo, Chae Soo Bin, Shin Seung Ho, and Park Ho San.
'Omniscient Reader' weaves a gripping narrative that transcends time and reality. It follows Kim Dok Ja (Ahn Hyo Seop), the sole individual with knowledge of a world's impending demise. He embarks on a journey alongside the novel's protagonist, Yoo Jung Hyuk (Lee Min Ho), to alter the fate of this doomed reality.
The web novel, which has accumulated over 200 million views since its 2018 serialization on Naver, has captivated readers worldwide with its inventive fantasy world, blurring the lines between fiction and reality.
The exclusive reading of the script reportedly brimmed with enthusiasm as the talented ensemble, initially exchanging warm greetings, became fully immersed in their roles, infusing the scene with electrifying energy. The film aims to introduce viewers to an unparalleled cinematic experience within the realm of fantasy.
'Omniscient Reader' promises to redefine Korean cinema, offering an unprecedented and grandiose worldview that pushes the boundaries of imagination.
I wonder how they'll squeeze hundreds chapters of the novel into one movie. I don't think even dividing it between 3 movies will be enough.
