Kim dokja's love for twof would compete with this crap

I don't want to waste my time on it much so im gonna cut it short. Don't know who write this incredibly wrong scenario but dude, hell no. Dont ever try again. Like...you didn't even try? Its hella different than the novel, even our man dokja is different. He wouldn't like this version of himself. Im afraid he would even start a campaing to cancel this horrendous thing. Why call it live action when there is nothing alike with the original? Bro, i don't know what do we have to like or enjoy about it. Maybe the fact that the names didn't change...i appreciate that, beaches. I don't want this motherfather thing mingy associate with orv. Have some respect to the novel, characther, their personality, important traits and more importantly the readers. Nobody wanted this thing but almost everbody hating it. All of the consellations are dissapointed. I hope and pray with my all being for star stream to delete this weirdo movie's existence as if it never happened. Instead of watching, go read the masterpiece movie. And for our already f-up mental health, don't mention it to readers. Thank you. My english is nowhere near good so have some mercy. Thanks again.

Terrible

Did anyone even read the novel before making this horrible thing? This is just disrespectful to the author and the novel. You have changed the most valuable things about the characters. WHAT'S WITH THE GUN? Terrible. Horrifying. Ew. A big disgrace. I'll never watch it, I won't watch it. You don't even deserve my review. Shame on yall.

Disappoinment

Even the trailer made me upset. I don’t think I can watch the full movie. I really liked the original novel, but this adaptation does not do it justice. The story feels rushed, the characters don’t seem right, and the emotion is missing. It doesn’t feel like the same story at all. I was hoping for a faithful adaptation, but this was a big disappointment.

A complete disgrace. Dishonor to whoever decided this was a good idea

I still can’t believe or more like, it’s hard to understand how someone can ruin a masterpiece. One, Kim Dokja is NOT a prophet. He’s a READER. He knows what’s going to happen because he is a READER!! Even his name means “Reader” or “only child” but everything thinks it’s always the latter to which is true because he loves to READ.

The director have at the reach of a simple click the webnovel, the manhwa, sNs-nim to do a great live action yet they decided to yeet everything and do their own thing? To which btw it’s a disgrace, garbage, it’s like dragon ball evolution!

This is far from an adaptation. They ripped off almost everything to add nonsense. They eliminated characters developed!! Kim Dokja hating the story tls123 wrote for him? Really? That didn’t happen. NEVER.

Kim Dokja a bully? Really?! He was the one being bullied!! The character KDJ had admired for YEARS is Yoo Jonghyuk! That’s who he wanted to be, the name he had repeated for years like a mantra to get strength and to get through all the bad things that happened in his life.

And why everything looks so cheap?! The wigs? Their clothes? I can’t believe how a company couldn’t do better. Did they spent all their budget casting super famous people INSTEAD of using it for a better wig? They couldn’t even get YJH’s hair right.

And what’s with the guns?! In ORV NO ONE USES THEM. It was hard to read the first chapters for them? If you’re doing an adaptation I believe idk that you should take some time to READ the material, to talk with the authors and do a better job. But the kimchi head of the director probably doesn’t know how to read…

Instead of watching this is better to read the webnovel, manhwa and hope that the anime would do the Justice orv deserve.

Orv la doesn’t exist. This was just a bad dream… to bad I can’t give 0 to this crap

Absolute Disappointment

The live action doesn't even match the novel. The writer put much effort writing the story only for the live action to be a joke. What is this? Out of budget show?

Bihyung even look like a freaking labubu, what was that for? Is it so hard to follow the original story? Bihyung is a dokkaebi for god sake also a gun? So you telling me getting atleast a fake sword is hard now too? Wow. Rather saying "adaptation" It's more suitable to be "inspiration" the live action is a joke.

Yoo Sangah as a healer? What is this? I thought this is supposed to be Omniscient Reader Viewpoint not Director Viewpoint. Ridiculous, live action. Other than that, Yoo Joonghyuk look like a hongdae guy on his way to ask Kim Dokja number. Yoo Joonghyuk design were way more better than that, he's wearing a hight level clothes from the novel unlike the live action.

Honestly, the live action were completely different from the novel. I would not recommend this live action. The live action were nothing but a disappointment, changing the story won't make it cool because the original story were already peak. This live action is a total downgrade. Ain't Omniscient Reader Viewpoint anymore, It's Director Viewpoint no Hell Viewpoint itself.

Not my ORV

I've never saw a live action being this DISRESPECTFUL.If I could erase this movie from existence I would with no regret, I hope this sh*tty *ss director never dare to do a second movie
The story is literally not the same AT ALL ? the mischaracterisation ??
Yoo Sangah being a healer ? What the actual f*ck ?? Yoo Sangah is a strong woman who would not hesitate to kill if she has too
Bihyung being a labubu instead of a dokkaebi, justice for Bihyung
Lee Jihye holding a sniper ? In ORV it's clearly stated that gun or anything like that is USELESS in their apocalyptic world, the author even said it, swords are the most effective weapon in ORV
Kim Dokja being a bully?? Trashtalking TWSA the novel who saved his life ?? Kim Dokja being a writer when his name literally means " READER " ??? Kim Dokja having no Fourth Wall ? No Bookmark ? These are literally his most important skills ?? Kim Dokja communicating with TLS123 ?? Kim Dokja reviving Yoo Joonghyuk?? What is happening in this sh*itty movie ??
Jung Heewon being SA'd was not even mentioned, the just cut out the scene, it's disgusting
And the dialogue ?? Nothing is the same
This is just a trash movie who deserves nothing, a disappointment, a failure, a flop, a fiasco, catastrophic, good for nothing, a waste of time, garbage, a junk movie
If I could use all the synonyms of trash I would do it
I recommend reading the novel or the manwha of ORV to see of f*cked up this live action is

I haven't seen a worse movie, the only plus was the zombies and the acting, otherwise it was terrible and I'm sorry, I expected more from it. When it popped out on Netflix I really thought it would be a good movie to watch at night but I was really really disappointed. But if you want to watch sth boring and kinda cringe this is for you. But like I wrote, some of them acted really well and the zombies didn't look that bad.

When I saw the trailer on YT, I couldn't resist. And when my sister told me that it was being shown in the cinema, I didn't hesitate for a moment and went to see it with my group right away. It was really nice and I don't regret it. I was more surprised that there were so few people in the cinema (not everyone has good taste in EHM). The main character in the film just annoyed me so much that I liked all the characters around her, but not her and she just cursed at her (we won't deal with the fact that I cried at the end properly?). I definitely recommend it to everyone who likes romance and wants to watch a nice film (better take your tissues, Ily)

This in not my ORV.

Why did you decide to adapt the novel into a movie?
I am just so sad and disappointed as a ORV-fan. It's like a wound to my soul.
No offense to the actors though. I am just angry at the change in plotline.
It honestly breaks my heart that there are people, who've never read the novel and watched the movie and came away with a totally wrong idea of what it's really about.
They failed to capture the story’s true essence....

This Is Not Omniscient Reader. This Is an Insult

I don’t know who this adaptation was made for, but it certainly wasn’t for fans of Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint. This movie feels like someone skimmed the Wikipedia summary of the story and decided, “Yeah, I’ll make a movie out of that.” Zero depth, zero emotional payoff, zero respect for the source material.

Kim Dokja—one of the most complex, layered, emotionally rich protagonists ever written—is reduced to a bland, confused side character in his own story. The plot is butchered beyond recognition. Important arcs are skipped, relationships are flattened, and the entire thing feels like a rushed cash grab riding on the name.

And don’t even get me started on the pacing, the cringe dialogue, and how they tried to condense 500+ chapters of brilliance into a soulless 2-hour mess.

If you care at all about the manhwa or webnovel, skip this. And if you’ve already seen it and felt the same disappointment? Give it a 1-star rating. Loudly. This kind of lazy, shallow adaptation deserves to flop

READ THE NOVEL OR MANHWA INSTEAD YKK

We already know that this movie will not even follow a single thing from the novel nor the manhwa and we are right about that. This is an entirely different story than what ORV is. "Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint" it's already in the title a Reader's Viewpoint but then why would they changed it into a PROPHET???!
And then making this a Movie instead of a Series. Orv has too many chapters, so many important parts an they will summarized it? This la is not a good recommendation. K-drama fans will probably watch this and entirely miss a good story. ORV is not just a story it's KIM DOKJA. WE THE READERS SUFFERED WITH KIM DOKJA AND THEN THIS SH1T LA WE GOT IS HERE. WE TRULY ARE KIM DOKJA'S FRAGMENTS. IYKYK

Ok, I know it's only the first part, but I didn't really enjoy it.

I definitely have to praise the editing and transitions, it was really great, but otherwise not much for me. I was expecting something much, much more than just this. We're not going to lie, it was interesting and there was a great plot twist, but I just didn't think it was enough for so many people to praise it. But as I say, maybe it's because it's only the first part, so we'll see what the second one is like.

I think this part was much better than the first one. There was more action and overall I think it was more exciting than the first one (but I thought it would start again, here I was just hooked on the plot from the beginning). I really liked the processing of the whole film and the plot twists. It was really good. Of course it could have been better, but as I say, definitely better than the previous part, I laughed, almost cried and you can really see that they played around with the second part more

I thought for a long time about how many points to give this movie and I've already decided. Unlike, for example, Happiness (where the zombies were beautiful), here they were pretty creepy and I won't lie, I was scared several times by completely stupid things that I would never normally be scared of (and no, it wasn't that scary, more like funny moments, depressing, or a few people made me really angry). Anyway, I think the movie was mega well-made (the ending caught me off guard) and it deserves a recommendation. Besides, there's already a second part, but I don't know if it's worth watching (a lot of people say it's not), so I'll see if I decide to watch it :D.
