Behind-the-Scenes Action Stills Unveiled for 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint'

The film 'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint' has released action-packed behind-the-scenes stills showcasing the dedication and passion of its cast.

'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint' is a fantasy action film where the world of a novel becomes reality on the day the novel concludes after over a decade of serialization. The story follows Kim Dokja, the sole reader, as he teams up with the novel's protagonist, Yoo Joonghyuk, and other allies to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. The newly released stills capture the actors' intense performances and the palpable atmosphere on set.

The stills vividly depict the actors' commitment and the authenticity of the scenes. Having undergone extensive training at an action school before filming, the actors skillfully executed complex wire stunts and wielded large weapons with ease, proving their hard work was not in vain.

Ahn Hyo-seop, who plays Kim Dokja, dedicated himself to wire action training for aerial scenes, impressing the crew with his remarkable focus and stamina. Lee Min-ho, portraying Yoo Joonghyuk, had to masterfully handle various weapons while wearing a heavy leather coat, adding to the challenge. Unlike Kim Dokja and his allies, who gradually grow stronger, Lee Min-ho had to showcase top-tier action from the start, which was a significant burden. However, he maintained a positive atmosphere on set and demonstrated exceptional concentration.

Chae Soo-bin, Shin Seung-ho, Nana, and Ji Soo, playing Yoo Sangah, Lee Hyunseong, Jung Heewon, and Lee Jihye respectively, brought their characters to life with unique action scenes that highlighted their distinct traits and weapons. In an early action scene where the subway flips 180 degrees as the novel's world becomes reality, Chae Soo-bin had to perform a challenging stunt hanging from the subway ceiling. To enhance realism, the production team flipped the subway set, requiring actors to perform while suspended by wires. Despite the demanding conditions, Chae Soo-bin delivered a steady performance. Shin Seung-ho exuded a strong protective energy, always at the forefront to shield his teammates, while Nana created dynamic and powerful action sequences by running extensively for her dagger-wielding scenes.

Stunt director Jung Yoon-heon expressed satisfaction, stating, "Working with actors who have great physical attributes allowed us to create more exhilarating and impressive action scenes than ever before." He added, "Discovering the actors' charms will make the movie even more enjoyable and thrilling to watch."

'Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint' is set to hit theaters nationwide on the 23rd.
