Underrated and Unfairly Hated!!!!
People started attacking Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy long before it even came out lol, and honestly, it never deserved that hate. Most of the harsh and unnecessary reviews are from readers of the original web novel/manhwa who expected the movie to copy every single detail and blah blah. When it didn’t, they turned against it completely, not just that they started judging it the moment the first trailer was released and would make memes of it or laugh at how the goblins look like 💀 seriously tho wtf!! But that’s the thing!! movies can’t always follow every scene or dialogue from the source. What matters is the essence and this movie captured that beautifully, agree with it or not.
The rest of the hate mostly comes from people who never even watched it but got swayed by those same negative reviews. It’s like everyone jumped on the hate train without thinking for themselves, just like that male character who started attacking the old lady, kill the ants not the ajummah.
Once you actually sit down and watch it, you can see the effort and heart the team put into this project. The visuals, the energy, the acting, all of it shows genuine respect for the source material (Actually I don't like something, cgi is not that good lol but still)
Kim Dokja’s portrayal especially felt emotional and grounded.
So yeah, Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy is criminally underrated and unfairly hated. I really hope the cast and crew don’t let the noise get to them and give us a second movie, because this story deserves to continue, and to be appreciated for what it truly is. Many of us are waiting for a second movie.
So again, just give it a try, watch it for the genre, characters, and plot, not for the sake of rating/reviewing, wasting time, or just cause you wanna watch something and then end up lashing at them for no good reason.
