K-film Adaptation of Hit Webtoon Omniscient Reader Viewpoint Finalizes Cast with Leads Lee Min Ho, Ahn Hyo Seob, Jisoo of Blackpink, and Nana

Well this is as trendy of a main four cast as it can get in K-ent at least with the younger gen. The two male leads of the movie adaptation of Omniscient Reader Viewpoint has long confirmed Lee Min Ho and Ahn Hyo Seob but this week rounded out the entire full cast starting with the two female leads who will be played by Blackpinkโ€˜s solo actress branch out Jisoo and Nana who is also an idol turned actress. Also in the cast are Chae Soo Bin, Shin Seung Ho, Jung Sung Il, and Park Ho San. This is a sprawling series and will have multiple arcs and the movies are also slated to be I believe a trilogy. I have high hopes and I think the CGI will be fine in this day and age and honestly Along with the Gods turned out so well in movie form.

  • Jung Sung Il! ๐Ÿ˜

    Also, poor Jisoo. I like her as an idol, but let's be honest, Nana will eat her alive in both visuals and acting ๐Ÿ˜‚

  • The ORV fandom has been in mourning since lmh was announced lmao The new jisoo addition has basically killed them and any hopes for this la to be even remotely decent.
    Jisoo's crazy fans otoh have been attacking anyone who says anything about their acting genius unnie's casting, who according to them was almost certainly snubbed for a best actress Baeksang for snowdrop due to some anti blackpink conspiracy! Anyone who is less than ecstatic about the casting is a bitter anti jealous of their actress/singer/dancer/model prodigy's fame, wealth and natural good looks!

  • Wow, what a cast. The secondary leads are amazing. I am reserving my opinion on the main leads, but I am certainly interested to see how they will do. I haven't read the original source but its description sounds amazing. As to its fans, well, I rarely pay attention to fan woes when it comes to adaptations. Let me remind you how much people bitched about the casting for The Untamed before watching the actual show. When one reads a novel, well, it's only normal to imagine the main characters according to one's own preferences, but this is highly subjective. I am sure that if the casting director thought that Lee Minho is a fit, then it is quite possible that he can cut it, and the same goes for the rest of the cast, with the possible exception of Jisoo, who may have been casted partly because of her top idol status. However I personally think she's not bad and also absolutely gorgeous, so, let's just watch before judging.

    • How did novel fans bitch about the casting for the Untamed? I only know that almost everyone in the key cast auditioned for the role of Xue Yang. LOL. Xiao Zhan was also going to audition for Xue Yang. But the moment he walked in, the producer Yang Xia knew he's the right one for Wei Wuxian.

      What are fans complaining about LMH? I personally like Ahn Hyo Seop better though.

      • Don't you remember all the complaints regarding Yibo? There were even people claiming that XZ was too green to play WWX.
        Both did great and this is why we tend to forget it, but there are always ott fans that yell because the actor chosen does not fit 100% the mental image they have of a certain character.

  • Apparently, the actual female lead hasn't been announced yet.

    I think Jisoo is just stunt casting to get some coins from the Blinks. She is pretty but can't act. Chae Soo Bin, Nana, literally everybody else in the cast will act rings around her

  • must be good to be Jisoo. Girlie canโ€™t even shoot a single scene properly but still getting big offers.

  • To be honest I care more about the two main actor, lee minho was disappointmen choice and I was fine with ahn hyoseop, but after watching a time called you, I donโ€™t know if he could play this role. It was underwhelming performance compared to the actor in original version.

  • Koala. Your new mobile platform is absolute horrendous. All the pictures are distorted. Is anyone else having the same problem?
