#1 "Immerse yourself completely in the movie"
What only I knew as a novel becomes reality, and
you are sucked into the screen as 'Kim Dok-ja'!
'Omniscient Reader: The Prophet' is a fantasy action movie where the world of the novel that had been serialized for over 10 years becomes reality on the day it is completed, and the only reader, 'Kim Dok-ja' (Ahn Hyo-seop), faces the situation where the story he alone knew unfolds before his eyes. The moment 'Kim Dok-ja' steps into the world of the novel, the audience also experiences an overwhelming sensation of being sucked into the screen. The story of clearing the mission of the scenario to survive flows thrillingly, making the audience feel as if they have become 'Kim Dok-ja', waiting eagerly for the next scenario. The unique setting of 'the world of the novel unfolding before our eyes' captivates the audience, who express their admiration with comments like, "The most new and intense film in the history of Korean cinema! It's insane." (Megabox se****), "A monumental fantasy that perfectly translates the emotions of the web novel onto the screen!"

The broken Dongho Bridge, the inside of a living dragon, the vast universe!
Dynamic visuals unlike anything experienced before!
The second highlight that captivated the audience is the gigantic and overwhelming visuals that complete a world view never seen before. The scene where the massive dragon attacks Dongho Bridge and 'Kim Dok-ja' is sucked into the belly of the dragon presents an overwhelming visual shock. Moreover, Chungmuro Station in the heart of Seoul becomes a battlefield under a creature's attack, and the intense battles for survival provide a vivid sense that keeps the audience immersed as if they were in a subway station. More than 1,300 out of 1,500 shots in 'Omniscient Reader: The Prophet' are realized with CG, portraying a world that only existed in writing limitlessly on the screen.

Separately yet together! A dazzling and overwhelming action full of character and style!
With 'Kim Dok-ja' wielding the sword of conviction, 'Yu Jung-hyuk' (Lee Min-ho) possessing regression abilities and a cold survival strategy, 'Yu Sang-ah' (Chae Soo-bin) using thread with ease, 'Lee Hyun-sung' (Shin Seung-ho) boasting powerful strength and defense, 'Jung Hee-won' (Nana) wielding the dagger of justice, 'Lee Ji-hye' (Jisoo) showing presence despite limited screen time, and 'Lee Gil-young' (Kwon Eun-sung) handling insects freely, 'Omniscient Reader: The Prophet' intricately weaves their individual traits and skills to create a unique action experience.
