The highly anticipated fantasy action film opening this summer, ‘Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint ‘starring Ahn Hyo-seop and Lee Min-ho, has released character posters and a teaser trailer that are raising curiosity.

‘ Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint ‘depicts the story of a novel that has been serialized for over 10 years becoming reality on the day it ends, and the only reader, Kim Dok-ja(Ahn Hyo-seop), struggles to survive in the destroyed world along with the novel’s main character, Yoo Jung-hyuk(Lee Min-ho), and his colleagues.

The released character posters capture the charm of the characters with strong personalities, and the actors ‘perfect synchronization and overwhelming presence catch the eye.First, the intense gaze of Kim Dokja(Ahn Hyo-seop), the only reader of the novel serialized for over 10 years, catches the eye.Kim Dokja’s line, “I am the only reader who knows the ending of this world,” arouses curiosity about how he will utilize the development in the novel that only he knows.

The line “Why has the world become like this?” by Yoo Jung-hyuk(Lee Min-ho), the main character of a novel that has been serialized for over 10 years, raises expectations about how the world in the novel that has become reality will unfold on the screen.

Yoo Sang-ah(Chae Soo-bin), a colleague who encountered the moment when the novel became reality with Kim Dok-ja, cannot hide her bewilderment, saying, “Do we have to fight like this every day here?” The world of the novel unfolded before her eyes like a lie, and the bewilderment was only momentary, and soon she began to fight enemies she had never imagined together with the reader in order to survive.

Kim Dokja’s colleague Lee Hyun-seong(Shin Seung-ho), who has strong power, wonders, “How do you know all that, Mr.Dokja?” but gradually comes to trust Dokja and becomes a strong shield for the group.Kim Dokja’s colleague Jeong Hee-won(Nana), who fights for justice, also has an unusual expression.”There’s still one left.The one who gave up being human,” she says, glaring at someone with intense eyes, making us anticipate what she’s been through and how she’ll deal with it in the future.

Ji-hye Lee(Jisoo), a high school student who follows Yoo Jung-hyeok and calls him her master, appears in front of the group of readers and says, “In this world, only the strong survive.” The story of Ji-hye, who has a cold face that makes it impossible to read her emotions, makes readers curious about her story.

The released teaser trailer draws attention with its fresh worldview and unmissable plot development.Kim Dok-ja, an ordinary office worker, suddenly encounters a moment when the world of a novel becomes reality on his way home from work on the subway.When he hears the announcement that the paid service will start from this time, he immediately realizes what has happened to him and says, “Isn’t it just like the beginning of that novel?” Then, out of nowhere, a goblin Bi-hyung appears and says, “All humans will be given a scenario.Kill at least one living being,” and the subway is engulfed in chaos.The ordinary world has disappeared, and a completely different world unfolds where you have to kill and kill to survive.
