"Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy" is a must-watch
"Omniscient Reader: The Prophecy" explodes onto the screen with a thrilling mix of mind-bending storytelling and emotional weight, adapted brilliantly from the beloved webnovel. Set in a post-apocalyptic world where reality mirrors a web novel, the story follows Dokja—an ordinary reader—who suddenly becomes the sole person who knows the full plot of the unfolding world-destroying scenario.
The film balances high-stakes action and deep character development.

As for Jisoo, she absolutely shines in her role, bringing fierce intensity and subtle emotional nuance to her character. She’s not just captivating—she owns every frame she’s in.

It's clear she’s evolving into a top-tier actress, and this role cements her as a powerful presence in both K-drama and film.
