Lee Min Ho as Jung Hyeok and Ahn Hyo Seop as Dokja Make Dream Dual Male Lead Casting for Big Budget K-movie Adaptation of Omniscient Reader Viewpoint

I don’t know if this is meta reality become real reality but the long rumored fandom casting for a live action adaptation of hit webtoon Omniscient Reader Viewpoint has come true. K-ent is reporting that Lee Min Ho and Ahn Hyo Seop are in talks for the movie(s) based on ORV with the former as webtoon within a webtoon male lead Jung Hyeok and the latter as the story itself male lead Dokja (his name means reader). There will be more than one movie with original concept doing 5 movies but it will all depend on how well it’s adapted and whether its a hit. There is more than enough arcs for multiple movies and while I loved ORV it did get a bit repetitive (rinse and repeat) around late last year and I’m still a few months behind on catching up. But bravo for the production company for landing this epic perfect visuals casting.

    • Hey if youve read the novel you will agree that lee min ho is not the suited acyor for this character

  • I think LMH is too old for this role despite fitting visually and acting-wise (especially if he acted like he did in City Hunter). I can't think of any younger actor who fits though. As for AHS, I don't think he suits Dokja at all.

  • AHS is a really good pick for dokja but LMH doesn’t really suit Joonghyeok at all though

    • Yep totally agree I think the chemistry of the characters are important. I don't hate actors cause of their acting but I don't like when they choose actors out of popularity. I hope they choose wisely. Also the height difference is a problem too. 😔 💢

  • IMHO as someone who's never even heard of the web toon, I hope LMH is the character in the poster with the sword. AHS can be the guy who enters the toon but I'd rather see LMH cast as a warrior-hero type.

  • I'm indifferent to both actors but actually think both fit their roles perfectly and so it makes me excited for this even though I usually don't like live adaptations. I just hope they don't ruin the story and other characters.

  • I'm indifferent to LMH although I like him in City Hunter. That's it. But I'll watch anything AHS in it. AHS may not be the best actor still with a lot to improve. But he is charismatic on screen and I enjoy watching him. LOL

  • Both are bland af and bad actors to boot. I'm shocked ahs keeps getting lead roles for his super basic acting skills whereas the other 98 born talents stay stuck in mediocre roles. He probably has a really good agency/manager that has an eye for roles that can boost his image. Lmh Is one of the most overrated actors of his generation.

    • Ugh! I thought the childish fan-wars had ended years ago dude we are 20 years into this and going soon 2 decades people have grown out of this and heck fandoms have grown out of it meaning they themselves have now become parents time is moving fast and this is not 2009-14 anymore.. LMH's notorious fandom are now parents themselves and you won't see them anymore and it has been like that for years time doesn't stop for anyone. LMH is a charming actor let him do his thing..

      Just enjoy what you can and let the past be the past and remember it for the good times. The dust has settled long time ago

    • Everyone has an opinion like everyone has an ass but you know what if you're an actor everyone buses their ass to act That's What actors do they try to do their best this is what these actors are doing they're acting that's their job good luck guys
