With his companions Yoo Sang-ah, Lee Hyun-sung, Jung Hee-won, and Lee Ji-hye, he must navigate this dangerous new world to change their predetermined fate and write a new ending .

Editor's Review

"What would you do if the world of a novel only you knew suddenly became reality? What if that novel ended in apocalypse? Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy, the film adaptation of a global phenomenon read over 2.5 billion times, asks exactly that . Bringing together stars like Ahn Hyo-seop (Dr. Romantic) and Lee Min-ho (Pachinko), with BLACKPINK's Jisoo in the cast , the film raises compelling questions. What happens when the novel's ruthless, powerful protagonist Yoo Joong-hyuk meets the one person who's been reading his story? Director Kim Byung-woo (The Terror Live), working with a massive 30 billion won budget, invites viewers to identify with the characters and question the true meaning of 'surviving together' . With its grand visuals and intriguing team dynamics, this fantasy action film is poised to be one of the most talked-about releases. Can Dok-ja and his companions rewrite their catastrophic fate?"
