The massively popular web novel series 'The Omniscient Reader' (also 'The Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint'), written by singNsong, is finally coming to theaters as a live adaptation.
Earlier on February 15 KST, 'The Omniscient Reader' released its first launching trailer, announcing its premiere for July of this year.
Following the teaser release, fans of the web novel series shared their thoughts on how well the live adaptation actors and actresses synchronized with the web novel or webtoon characters.
1. Ahn Hyo Seop as Kim Dok Ja
2. Lee Min Ho as Yoo Joong Hyuk
3. Chae Soo Bin as Yoo Sang Ah
4. Shin Seung Ho as Lee Hyun Sung
5. Nana as Jung Hee Won
6. Jisoo as Lee Ji Hye
Some netizens commented,
"Jung Hee Won and Lee Hyun Sung are spot on."
"So far, the movie looks like it's gonna turn out pretty good."
"All of the other characters fit, but Yoo Joong Hyuk should be more sharp and charismatic."
"Chae Soo Bin is literally Yoo Sang Ah."
"Whoa Ahn Hyo Seop really transformed for this role."
"I can't wait to see Nana as Jung Hee Won."
"They only came out for a few seconds so it's hard to be sure, but Shin Seung Ho, Nana, and Jisoo look real close to the actual characters."
However, others were more critical of the live adaptation "deviating" from the original story, saying,
"That is not the Yoo Joong Hyuk I imagined."
"The two main characters aren't doing it... the side characters are pretty close. Yoo Sang Ah especially."
"Why is Lee Ji Hye using a gun instead of a sword??"
"Lee Ji Hye isn't Lee Ji Hye without her sword."
"I'm really hoping it's the camera angles being funky here because the two main characters look ugly and unnatural."
"If they take out the story about Lee Soon Shin, I'm gonna flip."
"Lee Min Ho looks so chubby here..?"
"If they altered the story to appeal more to global audiences a.k.a Japan, I'm boycotting this."
"I don't think they got Kim Dok Ja and Yoo Joong Hyuk right..."
"Ji Hye using a gun just feels so wrong."
Are you looking forward to the live adaptation of 'The Omniscient Reader'?
