Plot & Cast
The movie is expected to follow the same plot as the web novel by Sing Shong of the same name or at least be based on it.
According to Naver Webtoon's description of the novel,
Dok-ja was an average office worker whose sole interest was reading his favorite web novel 'Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse.' But when the novel suddenly becomes a reality, he is the only person who knows how the world will end. Armed with this realization, Dok-ja uses his understanding to change the course of the story and the world as he knows it.
Lee Min-ho will be playing Yoo Joong-hyuk, the protagonist of 'Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse,' a regressor known for possessing exceptional fighting skills with many talents in a ruined world, becoming the only survivor at the end of the novel. On the other hand, Ahn Hyo-seop will make his big screen debut, playing the role of Kim Dok-ja.
The BLACKPINK member plays the character of Lee Ji-hye, who tackles difficult situations besides Yoo Joong-hyuk with her strength.
Chae Soo-bin will play the character of Yoo Sang-ah, Kim Dok-ja’s co-worker, who starts this web novel journey with him. At the same time, Shin Seung-ho will display his defensive skills as military soldier Lee Hyun-sung, and Nana will play the role of Jung Hee-won, a character who can not stand injustice.
Park Ho-san will play Gong Pil-doo, a wealthy figure who wields power over people's lives. Choi Young-joon will play Han Myung-oh, Kim Dok-Ja's senior colleague caught up in a mission in the web novel while approaching Yoo Sang Ah.
The film is garnering attention as it is helmed by director Kim Byung-woo, known for The Terror Live and Take Point. Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint is produced by the company behind Along with the Gods.
