First of all, I want to thank the director for adapting Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint into a live action. But second of all? They did an absolute disservice to the story. It feels like they didn’t understand the material at all. How do you read ORV and come away thinking, “Ah, yes. Kim Dokja is a pure hero saving the world from the apocalypse”? That completely misses the point of his character. Kim Dokja isn’t some glorified savior. He’s selfish, calculating, and emotionally closed-off—and that’s what makes him compelling. The beauty of ORV isn’t in watching a man selflessly save the world. It’s watching a man who would do anything to reach the ending of the story he clung to his whole life, even if it means manipulating everyone around him or sacrificing himself without ever asking for praise. This adaptation flattened that nuance. They made Kim Dokja inspiring when he should’ve been haunting. They made him noble when he should’ve been morally gray. And in doing that, they stripped away the emotional weight of the story entirely. This isn't just about being faithful to the plot—it's about being faithful to what ORV is really about: a man who finds meaning in fiction, because real life never gave him a reason to believe he mattered.
