The movie 'Omniscient Reader' has released its second set of character posters, showcasing a striking visual display. The seven characters, each wielding their unique weapons and displaying intense gazes, capture the audience's attention.
'Omniscient Reader' is a fantasy action film where the world of a novel, serialized for over a decade, becomes reality on the day it concludes. The sole reader, Kim Dokja, teams up with the novel's protagonist, Yoo Joonghyuk, and other allies to survive in a post-apocalyptic world.
The newly released posters highlight the actors' intense portrayals of their characters. The vivid action moments of these characters breaking through the scenarios in a world where fiction has become reality add to the viewing pleasure. Kim Dokja (played by Ahn Hyo-seop), the only reader of the decade-long novel, is depicted with a determined expression and steely gaze, hinting at his epic journey to alter the novel's ending where only the protagonist survives. Yoo Joonghyuk (played by Lee Min-ho), the novel's protagonist who has become cynical after numerous deaths and regressions, contrasts with Kim Dokja with his transcendent expression, leaving a strong impression. The fiery first encounter between Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk raises curiosity about the scenarios that will unfold and the chemistry they will create.
Yoo Sangah (played by Chae Soo-bin), who faces the moment when the novel becomes reality alongside Kim Dokja, skillfully uses silk threads to mend broken bridges or bandage a comrade's wounds, showcasing her unique skills to navigate crisis situations. Lee Hyun-sung (played by Shin Seung-ho), with his formidable strength, becomes a reliable shield for his allies with his optimal physical condition. His impactful action scenes across the screen amplify the catharsis and deliver thrilling excitement.
Jung Heewon (played by Nana), one of Kim Dokja's most supported characters, exudes a unique mood with her confident yet cynical expression. She wields sharp daggers in both hands, delivering swift and spectacular action that leaves viewers in awe. Lee Jihye (played by JiSoo), holding a gun and looking through a scope, refers to Yoo Joonghyuk as her master. She coldly rejects the proposal offered by Kim Dokja during a tense situation. The audience is left wondering what choice Lee Jihye will ultimately make to connect with Kim Dokja's group.
'Omniscient Reader' will be available in theaters nationwide on July 23.
