Jung Chae Yeon and Lee Jin Wook vow to stand by the helpless in 'Beyond the Bar'
Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy, starring Lee Min Ho, Ahn Hyo Seop, Chae Soo Bin, Shin Seung Ho, Nana, Park Ho San, Choi Young Joon, Jung Sung Il, and Kim Ji Soo, has released fresh teasers.
Based on the web novel of the same Korean name, Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy follows Kim Dok Ja, a man trying to save the world that has suddenly changed to match the contents of the novel he was reading.
Kim Dok Ja (Ahn Hyo Seop), the only reader of a mysterious novel, expresses, "I am the only reader who knows what end this world meets."
Yoo Jung Hyeok (Lee Min Ho), the protagonist of the novel, asks, "Why has the world turned out like this?"
Yoo Sang Ah (Chae Soo Bin), who lives the moment the novel becomes reality, alongside Kim Dok Ja, cannot hide her bewilderment as she asks, "Do we have to fight like this every day here?"
Lee Hyeon Seong (Shin Seung Ho), a companion of Kim Dok Ja with formidable strength, wonders, "I wonder how you know all of this, Dok Ja."
Jung Hui Won (Nana), who fights for justice, says, "There's still one left. The one who willingly gave up being human," piques curiosity about what she has been through and how she will deal with what lies ahead.
Lee Ji Hye (Ji Soo), a high school student who calls Yoo Jung Hyeok her master, remarks, "In this world, only the strong survive."
Lee Gil Yeong (Kwon Eun Seong), a boy who communicates with insects and joins Dok Ja on his journey, screams, "I want to fight the monsters too!"
The teaser begins by showing Kim Dok Ja, an ordinary office employee, experiencing something unimaginable on his subway ride home — the fictional world of a novel coming to reality. When an announcement declares that a paid service is now starting, he immediately realizes, "This is exactly how that novel begins."
As a bizarre goblin appears and proclaims, "All humans will be assigned a scenario. Kill at least one living being," chaos erupts inside the subway car.
A new reality unfolds, one where you must kill or be killed to survive. Kim Dok Ja joins forces with Yoo Jung Hyeok, the protagonist of the novel, as well as Yoo Sang Ah, and others, including Lee Hyeon Seong, Jung Hui Won, Lee Ji Hye, and Lee Gil Yeong. With only him knowing how the story unfolds, the question of whether they can survive together heightens anticipation for Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy.
Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy is coming this July. Watch the teaser here.
