Anticipation Builds for 'Omniscient Reader' with New Poster and Trailer Release

The film 'Omniscient Reader' is set to premiere on July 23, promising a spectacular cinematic experience with the release of its main poster and trailer.

Scheduled for release on July 23, 'Omniscient Reader' is a fantasy action film where the world of a novel, completed after over a decade of serialization, becomes reality. The story follows Kim Dokja, the sole reader, as he teams up with the novel's protagonist, Yoo Junghyuk, and other allies to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. The film stars Lee Min-ho, Ahn Hyo-seop, Chae Soo-bin, Shin Seung-ho, Nana, Jisoo, and Kwon Eun-seong.

The newly released main poster captivates with its overwhelming presence. Kim Dokja (Ahn Hyo-seop) and Yoo Junghyuk (Lee Min-ho) gaze directly at the viewer, drawing them into the novel's world with their extraordinary aura. Behind them, Yoo Sangah (Chae Soo-bin), Lee Hyunsung (Shin Seung-ho), Jung Heewon (Nana), Lee Ji-hye (Jisoo), and Lee Gil-young (Kwon Eun-seong) add intrigue to the impending epic tale. The tagline, "The novel only I know has become reality," piques curiosity about how the reader, who alone knows the novel's ending, and the protagonist Junghyuk, along with their allies, will navigate the unpredictable scenarios. The fresh premise and gripping narrative promise an exciting journey.

The main trailer, also released, begins with Kim Dokja's line, "The story that was my everything has become reality," heightening immersion. As a subway train suddenly halts on the way home, the novel's world becomes reality, and the goblin 'Bihyung' assigns scenarios. The ensuing chaos among humans unfolds spectacularly, sparking interest. The trailer showcases a vast, unseen universe with vivid visuals and dazzling action scenes, rapidly elevating the atmosphere. Signature actions like silk threads, shields, and swords for each character promise to set a new standard for fantasy action. Additionally, Kim Dokja's determination to rewrite the ending so that everyone survives, rather than just the protagonist, adds intrigue to the epic journey with his companions.

'Omniscient Reader' will be available in theaters nationwide starting July 23.
