The movie 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint' is generating anticipation for the bromance between actors Ahn Hyo-seop and Lee Min-ho.
On the 1st, the movie 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint' (directed by Kim Byung-woo, provided by Lotte Entertainment, Smilegate, distributed by Lotte Entertainment, produced by Realize Pictures, co-produced by MYM Entertainment, Smilegate Realize, The Present Company, abbreviated as 'ORMV') released still cuts of Ahn Hyo-seop and Lee Min-ho.
'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint' is an adaptation based on the popular web novel of the same name, and it's a fantasy action movie in which the world of the novel becomes a reality on the day it concludes after more than 10 years of serialization, and the sole reader 'Kim Reader' survives in a ruined world with the protagonist 'Yu Jung-hyuk' and his companions. In this, Ahn Hyo-seop and Lee Min-ho play the roles of the only reader Kim Reader, and the protagonist Yu Jung-hyuk, whom the reader has admired since childhood.
Thus, 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint' draws attention by foreshadowing the intriguing chemistry between Ahn Hyo-seop and Lee Min-ho along with their unpredictable relationships. On the day the novel 'Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World,' serialized for over 10 years, concludes, 'Kim Reader' cannot hide his disappointment at the ending where only the protagonist 'Yu Jung-hyuk' survives. The world of the novel becomes a reality before the eyes of the only reader 'Kim Reader,' who knows the conclusion of the novel, and he meets the protagonist 'Yu Jung-hyuk.'
Although he faces the protagonist of the novel he has admired since his school days, 'Yu Jung-hyuk,' who has undergone repeated regressions, treats him with a cynical attitude. 'Yu Jung-hyuk' also, unable to trust 'Kim Reader' who suddenly appears and leads the story in a different direction than he knew, throws a challenge at him to come to Chungmuro Station alive.
'Kim Reader,' who must join hands with 'Yu Jung-hyuk' to write a new ending instead of the one where only the protagonist survives, and 'Yu Jung-hyuk,' who cannot trust anyone. Audience anticipation for the direction of the story these two will create and how their chemistry will gradually unfold is hotter than ever.
Ahn Hyo-seop commented on the relationship between 'Kim Reader' and 'Yu Jung-hyuk' by saying, "For 'Kim Reader,' 'Yu Jung-hyuk' is a symbolic figure he wished to become, so he must have deeply supported and admired him." However, he added, "'Yu Jung-hyuk' has a solidified mindset developed through numerous regressions, and from this point, conflicts arise between the two characters. If the audience considers the larger context of what 'Yu Jung-hyuk' and 'Kim Reader' think, work for, and how they strive, they will be able to immerse themselves in the film much more."
Lee Min-ho explained, "When the curious character 'Kim Reader' appears, testing him was the most 'Yu Jung-hyuk'-like aspect." Regarding their relationship, he added, "'Yu Jung-hyuk' becomes intrigued by seeing 'Kim Reader' navigate this world, and the two develop a unique relationship where they observe each other," adding more curiosity to the story they will create.
'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint' will be available in theaters nationwide on the 23rd.
