In the sci-fi fantasy film Wonderland, grieving people are able to communicate with their dearly departed via a video chat simulation service that reconstructs them. The technology, called Wonderland, connects a couple with their deceased grandparents, a woman with her comatose partner, a young girl with her late mother. But is it possible to find closure by reconnecting with the likenesses of those who’ve died? Directed by Kim Tae-yong (Memento Mori), the drama stars Tang Wei, Suzy, Park Bo Gum, Jung Yu-mi, and Choi Woo Shik.

What happens in Wonderland?

In the near future, advancements in artificial intelligence and virtual reality have led to the invention of Wonderland: a communication service that allows people to video chat with their dead (or incapacitated) loved ones. The technology uses photos, videos, and internet records with AI technology to resurrect people virtually — appearance, personality, and all. Thanks to Wonderland, people can almost forget that their loved ones are gone. But does the service really help its clients make peace with those they’ve lost? 

Bai Li, a Chinese correspondent, is terminally ill, but she hides it from her 7-year-old daughter, Bai Jia. After Li dies, Jia becomes close with the version of her mother in the video calls — maybe too close. 

Suzy in Wonderland

Flight attendant Gu Jung-in creates a Wonderland version of her boyfriend, Park Tae-ju, who’s comatose in real life. She spends all her days with the virtual version of him. After he regains consciousness, Jung-in has trouble adapting to life with the real Tae-ju.

Wonderland employees Seo Hae-ri and Kim Hyun-soo gather data about the dead through consultations with their many clients. In the process, Hyun-soo — who, along with Hae-ri, has replicated several members of her family — finds out information about one of their clients that may change her life.
