To director
As a long-time fan of Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, I’m honestly heartbroken and angry about how the live-action adaptation is being handled.You didn’t just “adapt” the story — you changed its soul.
ORV isn’t just about action or survival. It’s about identity, loneliness, and the journey of someone who’s always been a side character in his own life. Kim Dokja’s perspective as the reader, the emotional weight of the constellations, the bookmark system, the dokkaebis — all of that made ORV unique. Why throw it away?
What we’re seeing now feels like a completely different story using the ORV name for hype.
Fans didn’t wait years for this just to get a shallow version of a masterpiece.
Yes, we get that adaptations require changes — but this? This feels like betrayal.
It’s not about being “loyal to the source” word for word — it’s about respecting the heart of it.
We laughed, cried, and grew with these characters. We are not just “viewers” — we are a community. And we deserve better than this.
