Actors Ahn Hyo-seop and Lee Min-ho talked about why they chose the movie ‘Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint ‘.

‘ Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint ‘, which will be released on July 23rd, is a fantasy action film about a world in a novel that has been serialized for over 10 years becoming reality, and the only reader, Kim Dok-ja(Ahn Hyo-seop), trying to survive in the destroyed world along with the novel’s main character, Yoo Jung-hyuk(Lee Min-ho)and his colleagues.

At the production report meeting held at Lotte Cinema Konkuk University Entrance in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul on the 17th, Ahn Hyo-seop, who plays the main character Kim Dok-ja, said, “When I first read the script, I was most curious about how it would be realized on film.It was a scale that had never been seen before in Korea.” He continued, “More than anything, I was interested in the philosophy of the film.I liked the message contained in the film that we should all live together, not alone.”

Lee Min-ho, who played Yoo Joong-hyuk, said, “As I’ve been working as an actor for a long time, I’ve become more interested in social issues and somewhat minor stories as I’ve gotten older.” He added, “I came across this script when I thought that society was becoming more individualistic and isolated.I thought that the story of humans finding hope and overcoming adversity thanks to other humans in a destroyed world would resonate quite a bit with today’s generation of audiences.”
