This summer, the one-and-only fantasy action movie ‘Omniscient Reader: The Prophet’ (directed by Kim Byung-woo, presented by Lotte Entertainment and Smilegate, distributed by Lotte Entertainment, produced by Realize Pictures, co-produced by MYM Entertainment, Smilegate Realize, and The Present Company, abbreviated as ‘Omniscient Reader’) has released a duo poster hinting at the unpredictable chemistry between Ahn Hyo-seop and Lee Min-ho.
‘Omniscient Reader’ is a fantasy action film where the world of a novel, serialized for over 10 years, becomes reality on the day the novel is completed, and the only reader, ‘Kim Dok-ja’, must survive in a world that has been destroyed alongside the main character, ‘Yoo Jung-hyuk’, and his companions.
The recently released duo poster captures ‘Kim Dok-ja’ (Ahn Hyo-seop) and ‘Yoo Jung-hyuk’ (Lee Min-ho) exchanging sharp glances against a backdrop of a fading sunset sky, which leaves viewers breathless. It depicts the first moment ‘Kim Dok-ja’, the only reader of the novel [Three Ways to Survive in a Destroyed World], faces the main character ‘Yoo Jung-hyuk’, a figure he has long admired in the novel. The intriguing atmosphere from their first meeting hints at the story they will write together, and ‘Kim Dok-ja’s expression reveals a determined resolve to join forces with ‘Yoo Jung-hyuk’ to write a new ending where not just the main character survives alone. On ‘Yoo Jung-hyuk’s face lies a complex tension, as curiosity and suspicion about ‘Kim Dok-ja’, who suddenly appears and leads the story in an entirely different direction from the plot he knew, intersect. As ‘Kim Dok-ja’ finally meets the fictional character he has long admired and ‘Yoo Jung-hyuk’, who has become cynical after enduring repeated cycles, audiences are left eagerly wondering what new story their fateful encounter will unfold.
Anticipating an unprecedented chemistry between Ahn Hyo-seop and Lee Min-ho, the movie ‘Omniscient Reader: The Prophet’ will be available in theaters nationwide on July 23.
