‘Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint ‘Director: “Concerned about how to make the original web novel into a movie”

Director Kim Byung-woo mentioned the points he had concerns about while adapting the web novel’ Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint ‘into a film.

At the production report meeting for the movie’ Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint ‘held at Lotte Cinema Konkuk University Entrance in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 17th, Director Kim confessed, “I thought about how to make the original web novel into a movie for a very long time.Since it was still in the early stages of serialization at the time, I had no idea how the story would unfold after that, so I had a lot of questions about how to make it into a movie.”

He explained, “The original work’s biggest selling point was that reality and fantasy were well-mixed.Since fantasy naturally comes into reality, the original work’s biggest selling point was that ‘the novel that only I knew became reality.’” He also said, “I thought it was a work that the audience could watch while participating more in the theater.I thought it was a work that asked itself, ‘What would I do?’ I thought that the audience could watch it while participating because it is a work where they are on the same starting line as the characters.”

Director Kim said, “All the staff in each department were picky and sensitive about how to appropriately distribute and readjust reality and fantasy.The same goes for the actors.Although it starts from reality, we talked a lot about what kind of attitude to have as the movie progresses dramatically.I think we found a good answer in the process.”

‘Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint ‘, a film adaptation of the popular web novel of the same name, is a fantasy action film about a world in a novel that has been serialized for over 10 years, becoming reality on the day it ends, and the only reader,’ Kim Dok-ja ‘, must survive in the destroyed world along with the novel’s main character, ‘Yoo Jung-hyuk’, and his colleagues.It will be released in theaters on July 23.
