Along with the confirmation of the cast, the film released behind-the-scenes stills of the cast working passionately at the script reading, raising anticipation for their portrayal and synergy.

“Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint” is based on a web novel of the same name and follows the story of Kim Dok Ja (Ahn Hyo Seop), whose world suddenly changes into that of the web novel he read starring Yoo Joong Hyuk (Lee Min Ho) as the main character. In addition to the web novel, the ongoing webtoon is also receiving much love from fans.

The upcoming film will be helmed by director Kim Byung Woo of “The Terror Live” and “Take Point,” and he will be working with REALIES Pictures, the production company behind the “Along with the Gods” series. Global entertainment group Smilegate will also be investing in their first Korean film through “Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint.”

Lee Min Ho will be taking on the role of Yoo Joong Hyuk, the main character of a fictional web novel that Kim Dok Ja read who endlessly gets another chance to redo his life after death. With great looks and powerful fighting skills, Yoo Joong Hyuk is a character who has survived until the end within a ruined world.

Ahn Hyo Seop will be making his debut on the big screen as Kim Dok Ja, the only person who knows the ending of the web novel “Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World.” An ordinary office worker, Kim Dok Ja becomes immersed in Yoo Joong Hyuk and his story, making him the sole person who finishes reading the web novel.

When the fictional story Kim Dok Ja reads becomes reality, he builds friendships with peers who journey together with him. Chae Soo Bin will be playing Yoo Sang Ah, Kim Dok Ja’s coworker who starts the journey of the fallen world together with him. She becomes great strength to Kim Dok Ja while quickly adjusting in a world where every day is a battle for survival.

Shin Seung Ho and Nana will be starring as characters in the web novel Kim Dok Ja reads and eventually meets in real life. Shin Seung Ho will transform into former military soldier Lee Hyun Sung and showcase strong defensive powers while Nana will play Jung Hee Won, becoming a goddess of justice with outstanding strength.

Park Ho San will be playing Gong Pil Doo, who controls people’s livelihoods with his wealth. Choi Young Joon will take on the role of Han Myung Oh, Kim Dok Ja’s company superior who suddenly gets swept up in mission scenarios while approaching Yoo Sang Ah. Furthermore, Jisoo will play Lee Ji Hye, who overcomes numerous crises together with Yoo Joong Hyuk through her great strength.
