Actors Lee Min-ho, Ahn Hyo-seop, Chae Soo-bin, Shin Seung-ho, Nana, Park Ho-san, Choi Young-joon, and Jisoo are coming together for a fantasy blockbuster directed by Kim Byung-woo, known for 'The Terror Live.'

The movie 'Omniscient Reader' (Director Kim Byung-woo) revealed its casting board on the 24th after commencing filming in December of the previous year. The film is currently in production.

'Omniscient Reader' tells the story of a fantasy novel becoming reality. Kim Dokja (Ahn Hyo-seop), the only one who knows the ending, embarks on an epic journey to save the world with the protagonist of the novel, Yoo Jung-hyeok (Lee Min-ho).

It is based on the popular web novel of the same name, which has accumulated over 200 million views since its serialization in 2018.

Lee Min-ho takes on the role of Yoo Jung-hyeok, the protagonist of the novel, who possesses an unmatched appearance and formidable combat skills, along with the ability to continuously reincarnate even after death.

Ahn Hyo-seop plays Kim Dokja, an ordinary office worker who becomes infatuated with the novel's protagonist Yoo Jung-hyeok. He is the only person who has read and completed the unpublished novel, thus knowing the ending.

Chae Soo-bin plays Yoo Sang-ah, a colleague accompanying Kim Dokja on their journey in the novel's world. She used to be Kim Dokja's former workplace colleague, and together, they witness the beginning of the world's collapse.

Shin Seung-ho and Nana appear as characters from the novel. Shin Seung-ho takes on the role of former soldier Lee Hyeon-seong, showcasing powerful defensive capabilities. Nana portrays Jung Hee-won, embodying the goddess of justice.

Park Ho-san plays Gong Pil-du, using wealth to wield control over people's life and death. Choi Young-joon adds tension to the plot as Han Myung-oh, Kim Dokja's workplace superior who becomes entangled in the scenario.

Jisoo from 'BLACKPINK' also joins the cast as Lee Ji-hye, a comrade of Yoo Jung-hyeok in the novel, overcoming numerous crises with outstanding combat skills.

'Omniscient Reader' is directed by Kim Byung-woo, known for 'The Terror Live' and 'PMC: The Bunker.' The film promises a powerful immersive experience, with REALIES Pictures, the production company behind the 'Along with the Gods' series, also participating.

The production team stated, "The actors fully immersed themselves in their roles during the readings, filling the set with passion and energy." They added, "We will open new horizons for Korean cinema with a grand and unprecedented worldview."
