The upcoming film 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint' (directed by Kim Byung-woo) is generating buzz with its stellar cast, including Ahn Hyo-seop, Lee Min-ho, and Nana, as fans eagerly anticipate their on-screen chemistry.
Based on the popular Naver web novel of the same name, 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint' has surpassed 200 million views since its 2018 serialization, gaining significant international popularity as well.
As news of the film adaptation spread, curiosity about the cast grew, with Ahn Hyo-seop, Lee Min-ho, Chae Soo-bin, Shin Seung-ho, Nana, and BLACKPINK's Jisoo joining the ensemble, raising questions about how these diverse actors will blend in the story.
Ahead of its July 23 release, 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint' unveiled its first look at a production briefing on June 17.
Ahn Hyo-seop, playing Kim Dok-ja, the only one who knows the ending of the novel 'How to Survive in a Destroying World,' and Lee Min-ho, portraying the endlessly reincarnating protagonist Yoo Joong-hyuk, both expressed their excitement, saying, "This is a film of a scale never before seen in Korea."
The event also featured Chae Soo-bin as Yoo Sang-ah, Kim Dok-ja's former colleague who starts the journey in the ruined world with him; Shin Seung-ho as Lee Hyun-sung, a soldier with formidable strength and defense; and Nana as Jung Hee-won, who fights for justice after being saved by Kim Dok-ja.
The atmosphere was lively as the popular actors, known for their unique characters in various works, gathered. During the photo session, they were asked to form a group heart pose. While individual and pair hearts were effortlessly completed, the five-person heart pose was not as polished. Host Park Kyung-lim joked, "Practice until the press screening and show us again then."
Before the press screening, the five actors reunited at a showcase on July 2, engaging with fans and encouraging interest in the film.
During the photo session, they quickly found their positions and successfully completed a large heart, making up for the incomplete heart from the production briefing.
The actors shared, "We felt your love during this time. We hope to gain courage and motivation from meeting the audience in various forms until the release."
They have also confirmed stage greeting schedules to connect more closely with the public.
On the release day, July 23, and the first weekend, July 26 and 27, the 'heart-making members' Ahn Hyo-seop, Lee Min-ho, Chae Soo-bin, Shin Seung-ho, and Nana will all attend, showcasing their vibrant chemistry both on and off the screen.
