According to the entertainment industry on the 24th, Ahn Hyo-seop, Lee Min-ho, BLACKPINK’s Jisoo, Nana, Chae Soo-bin, Jung Sung-il, Park Ho-san, and others have decided to work on the movie “Omniscient Viewpoint” and are currently coordinating the details.

Based on the web novel of the same name, “Perspective of God” depicts the story of the protagonist, Kim Dok-ja, who finds himself in a world that has changed according to the content of a novel he was reading and tries to save the world. The web novel, which has been serialized on Munpia since February 2018, has received acclaim for changing the trend of the Korean web novel market with over 26 million cumulative views. The webtoon adaptation of the same name is also enjoying immense popularity.

The movie “Omniscient Viewpoint” is produced by Realize Pictures, the company behind “Along with the Gods,” based on the webtoon. It is directed by Kim Byung-woo, known for “The Terror Live.” Ahn Hyo-seop takes on the role of Kim Dok-ja, who fights to return the world to its original state in the changed world, just as in the novel he was reading. This marks Ahn Hyo-seop’s first appearance in a movie.

Lee Min-ho plays the role of Yu Jung-hyuk, the protagonist of the novel “Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World,” which forms the basis of the changed world in the film. Yu Jung-hyuk has the ability to constantly return to life, which burdens him with the responsibility of saving the world, but it also makes him emotionally distant due to the endless repetition of life. The appearances of Lee Min-ho and Ahn Hyo-seop are expected to be well-received by fans of the original work.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo is making her official screen debut with “Omniscient Viewpoint.” Jisoo previously made a cameo appearance as a fairy in the film “The Secret of the Heavenly Bead,” released in September. In “Omniscient Viewpoint,” Jisoo takes on the role of Lee Ji-hye, leading the story alongside Kim Dok-ja and Yu Jung-hyuk. It is said that Jisoo readily accepted the role as a fan of the original work. Jisoo’s participation in “Omniscient Viewpoint” is expected to garner worldwide attention, especially as BLACKPINK’s contract renewal became a significant issue in the global music industry.

Nana plays the role of Jung Hee-won, a strong and intolerant character. Nana left a strong impression with her acting in the movie “Confession,” produced by Realize Pictures, and continues her collaboration with the company in “Omniscient Viewpoint.” Nana’s high synchronization with the original character, combined with her global fan base from Netflix’s “The Glory” and “The Masked Girl,” raises expectations among fans.

Chae Soo-bin, Shin Seung-ho, Jung Sung-il, and Park Ho-san are also part of the cast of “Omniscient Viewpoint” Chae Soo-bin portrays Yu Sang-ah, a colleague of Kim Dok-ja at the same company who embarks on a journey with him. Shin Seung-ho, well-known through Netflix’s “D.P.” and other works, joins as Lee Hyun-sung, a military veteran with a strong sense of duty. Jung Sung-il, known for his role in “The Glory,” and Park Ho-san, famous for playing antagonists, will add a powerful atmosphere to the film.

“Omniscient Viewpoint” is gaining attention as a major production in the Korean film industry, which has been facing challenges. Notably, this film marks the first investment in the film industry by the domestic mid-sized game company Smilegate, known for “Lost Ark” and “Crossfire.” Smilegate, in collaboration with Lotte Entertainment, participates in the production of “Omniscient Viewpoint.” This investment is significant as it represents a bold move in the Korean film industry at a time when investments have been dwindling. The film also benefits from the appeal of a strong intellectual property (IP) and the entry of a new player from the gaming industry.

Realize Pictures has signed a contract to adapt “Omniscient Viewpoint” into up to five movies. If the first film is successful, it is expected to become a series like “Along with the Gods.” With the participation of leading actors, K-pop stars, and figures well-known internationally through Netflix, this lineup is designed with a global strategy in mind.

“Omniscient Viewpoint” has completed major casting and is set to begin full-scale production from December. It is anticipated that “Omniscient Viewpoint” may become a beloved film similar to the original work, “Along with the Gods,” and bring new life to the frozen Korean film industry.

Making Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint into a movie instead of a KDrama is certainly… a choice.

Casting news on Chusday iktr! 

What a lineup 🔥🔥

I mean stupid question: but does YG issuing the statement and reviewing the casting offer mean anything significant? Or is the BP and acting contracts two separate things?


Stack cast for great webcomic. Hopefully it’s 3hr + long kind with multiple part sequels haha

I’ve been looking forward to this movie series for so long. I hope the movies do the novel justice. Excited to see Jisoo in it,

Jisoo and Lee Min Ho reunion!
