Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy is the highly anticipated Korean movie of 2025, packed with amazing Korean stars. The movie is an adaptation of the famous Korean web novel Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint.
The story of Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy follows Kim Dokja, an ordinary office worker whose life takes an extraordinary turn when the events of a long-running web novel he has been reading for years begin to unfold in the real world.
In this new reality, humanity is forced to face series of deadly survival “scenarios” orchestrated by mysterious, otherworldly beings. As society crumbles, the protagonist of the original novel, Yoo Joonghyuk, appears as a powerful and relentless warrior, determined to fight through each trial.
While Dokja lacks combat skills or supernatural abilities, he possesses something no one else does: complete knowledge of the story’s events and its characters. Armed with this information, he becomes an unlikely key to humanity’s survival.
The movie explores how Dokja, with Yoo Joonghyuk and a team of allies, navigate through an unpredictable world where every choice could alter the course of the narrative.
