The movie 'Omniscient Reader: The Prophet' has unveiled a special poster that offers a glimpse into its unparalleled universe.
'Omniscient Reader: The Prophet' is a fantasy action film where the world of a novel, which has been serialized for over a decade, becomes reality on the day it concludes. The story follows 'Kim Dokja', the novel's sole reader, who, along with the novel's protagonist 'Yoo Joonghyuk' and their allies, strives to survive in the now apocalyptic world. Produced by Lotte Entertainment, this tentpole film boasts a budget of 30 billion won.
The special poster released on the 3rd features a subway platform backdrop and showcases 'Kim Dokja' (played by Ahn Hyo-seop) and the novel's protagonist 'Yoo Joonghyuk' (played by Lee Min-ho), along with 'Kim Dokja's' allies 'Yoo Sangah' (played by Chae Soo-bin), 'Lee Hyunsung' (played by Shin Seung-ho), 'Jung Heewon' (played by Nana), 'Lee Jihye' (played by JISOO), and 'Lee Gilyoung' (played by Kwon Eun-sung), all facing a newly bestowed scenario amidst chaos, sparking curiosity about the unfolding story.
The addition of the tagline "A novel only I know has become reality" intensifies the sensation of reality suddenly transforming into the world of the novel. It heightens anticipation for how 'Kim Dokja' and his companions will strategize and what conclusions they will draw in the face of unpredictable scenarios.
Moreover, the intense synergy among the characters is explosive. Notably, the fierce expressions of 'Kim Dokja', the only reader who knows the ending of the decade-long serialized novel, and 'Yoo Joonghyuk', the protagonist who survived the novel alone, are striking. The attention is focused on the new journey that the cynical 'Yoo Joonghyuk', who has undergone numerous regressions, and the admiring 'Kim Dokja' will embark on.
Curiosity also surges for the skills that the uniquely individual characters will display. 'Yoo Sangah', catching eyes with her colorful coat earned as a reward, showcases her skill of freely manipulating silk threads, while 'Lee Hyunsung' uses his formidable strength and a defensive skill involving shields to navigate through dire situations.
'Jung Heewon' and 'Lee Jihye', heralding the arrival of action heroines with their powerful combat abilities, will display their signature actions, fully utilizing their respective powers. 'Lee Gilyoung', with his special skill of communicating with insects, will shine with a unique presence, captivating the audience.
As each scenario unfolds, the characters grow stronger and upgrade their abilities, fueling fans' excitement for the intense synergy and thrilling story within this overwhelming universe.
