Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint is my personal favorite novel of all time. I did not need a perfect screen adaptation, but when announced, I did at least hope for one that kept the important story elements in tact. This adaptation failed to follow the original plot, or turn the new plot into something that matched or exceeded the original's storytelling. There will be no spoilers, however, if you're a fan of the original, this movie is not for you. In trying to make a movie that could appeal to everyone, it lost its appeal to the audience it should've been making it for-the fans of the original. If you are not a fan of the original, it's be more worthwhile to check it out then watch this movie.

The reason I did not rate it one star is because while this movie is by all accounts bad, someone out there still may enjoy it. I'm sure someone out there enjoyed this movie, even if it was only one person. By all accounts, reading the novel or the manhwa is superior. If you want "Omniscient Reader", those two are leagues ahead. However, if you want something entirely different cosplaying under the same name (or you're a fan desperate for content), then this movie may satiate your desire.
